The SOC meter is not visible from outside the car when charging - this is annoying if I want to quickly check how many bars I have. Having to scroll through all the odometer settings to see how many miles are on my trip meter and then get back to showing range remaining is also a pain. I wind...

I thought we were to use the oh-sh*t handle for that? ;) Jenn

I don't have any issues with the side mirrors, either. Jenn

Don, I think that's a GREAT idea! Jenn

Hi Sean, Can you put solar panels on your house? Or buy "green" electricity as an option from your utility? I haven't researched what regulations are in the pipeline, so to speak, regarding cleaning up coal plants, but it's certainly easier to clean up a coal plant than to individually clean...

I'll counter-balance Joe's lengthy (and helpful) response - No Regrets! :lol: Jenn

Hi Archie, Can you post a picture of your Smart car with the Airtabs mounted? It sounds like something that might be good for those of us with a highway commute, as I notice that the i-MiEV really gets buffeted by the wind. Unfortunately, my anti-virus blocks that website, so I can't view the...

Anyone with quick-charge capability? Looking for an i-MiEV for the opening of the Stanford shopping center quick charger on 5/15. GREEN CARPET – "GAS HOSE/RIBBON CUTTING” EVENT Stanford Shopping Center – 350 Green – Bay Area EV Supporters When: Tuesday May 15, 4:30 PM – 6:00PM Where: Stanford...

I don't usually use a full charge, and I don't usually recharge to 100%. Gauging by the "Range Remaining" that I see when my "tank" is half full, I'm getting about 75 miles per charge. So far, I have found the Range Remaining to be accurate. I drive mostly expressways - 40-55 mph, some stop...

Hi Sean, I am not an audiophile, so I can tell you that the sound system in the ES sounds fine, but don't take my word for it (a kazoo sounds fine to me!). Regarding the radio in the ES, it has one preset list for AM and two for FM, each with six presets that you can scroll through by...

fjpod, Does NYC have any alternative billing plan for electricity for EVs? Here in CA we can get on a different rate schedule so that the cost is very low at off peak times, usually between midnight and 7am. Jenn

Nice carport, Joe! I got into PV early, too. My personalized plates (moving onto my i-MiEV as soon as the real plates come in) say PV POWR. Jenn

I didn't wait because I believe either of those options will cost significantly more than the i-MiEV without providing significant additional benefit. I can get into the i now, with lower cost of entry, and drive electric 90% of the time while waiting for something much better to come along...

Hi Sean, I have had the back seat "seat" portion off a couple of times, and I recall that it is a little difficult to get latched back in properly. Unfortunately, I can't now recall how it latches in, only that it does. I'm sure the salesman you talked with just didn't know how to latch it...

Thanks! Jenn

Jray, Can you draw a conclusion from this in English? Is it okay in the i to be moving in one direction and have your gear set for the opposite direction for a brief period? Thanks, Jenn

I agree with Wee John - check your regular 12v battery. Jenn

Leec, What cellphone nav system do you use? Thanks! Jenn

Joe, how do you get the wire from outside the cabin (from the controller) into the cabin? Or is there something I am not understanding and it is all inside the cabin? Thanks, Jenn

Joe, How do you get your ammeter display into the car, where do you thread the wire in? Thanks, Jenn
