Three points here: 1) We all love our i-miev's, but really? In case you haven't noticed it's not the sexiest, most in-demand, most popular car out there! Would the average car thief really want to steal an electric car? 2) If someone did steal it, they couldn't go far! 3) The i-miev is so rare...

Here's where you go! http://www.mitsubishigraphics.com/miev.php

Although I guess a dealer can try to pull anything, technically they can't. You would have recourse such as contact a factory rep, contact the BBB, contact your state consumer affairs division, sue! But If you had to resort to such measures, would you want that stealership to work on your...

Hey Don, I'd actually like to tackle this project myself, before these kits get hard to find. But I just can't bring myself to let loose of the $$$$ iwatson

Here's the Kit on Amazon for $335 dollars http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WDIIZW?ie=UTF8&camp=213733&creative=393177&creativeASIN=B007WDIIZW&linkCode=shr&tag=eauciuen0a-20 Includes everything including a new turn signal switch which includes the fog light switch. Here's the installation...

Sorry Paul, I have not dolly towed my i-miev, so I can't help you there! I have given it some thought though. In the murky future I would like to own a motor home and I think the i-miev would be a good car to tow since it's so light. It's electric range is adequate for local excursions once the...

Two things going on in my head: 1st. You've owned you miev's longer than we have and you could be right. And As you know the heater in the imev is not that great, So we normally drive with the heater on to it's highest temp setting (not Max button) but highest temp setting. I've noticed when I...

The imiev is my wife's car. She and I apparently drive very differently. Most all her trips are short and thus the i's computer realizes that she has a low average speed. When she turns on the heat it has a big effect on the RR meter. In other words, the car figures that she will be driving at...

Jray3, My daughter turns 19 next month and although she likes the i-miev and will drive it, she wants to take my Volt away from me, or better yet, "daddy buy me a Camaro". Good luck talking your daughter into a limited range, all-electric car. May sound good on paper (Trust me I have same...

This thread is an interesting read. I think an available replacement pack shouldn't be a problem if you have the cash to spend. The bigger problem will be putting an expensive battery into a 10 or 15 year old MIEV. I bought the car because it was cheap, not because it was the finest EV on the...

Believe it or not, your friend has been talked about before on an internet video. His EV is mentioned in the Video. I can't remember the name of the website the video is on, but it's from some guys in Cape Girardeau, Missouri that run an aftermarket EV shop. Their EV Video news podcasts are...

Add a fuse comes in both sizes regular blade fuse and mini blade. The i-miev uses the mini blade/low profile, however normal profile mini blades will also fit. As for drilling a hole, it's not necessary. There's a plastic cover over the fuse box, on one edge of the cover there's a notch cutout...

At the auto parts store in the electrical section, they sell an accessory called "Add a fuse". To use this little gadget you go to your fuse box, which is under the dash by your left foot. Select a fuse depending on if you want switched or unswitched (On/off with the key or always on). I think I...

Quite coincidentally, we had the same recall done today. Our invoice was $206.80. After getting the car back the RR guage was reading the same as when we took it in as was the SOC guage.

Believe it or not, Everyday people buy electric cars! Not just those who like to tell everybody else how to live their life. If I choose to go to Mcdonalds why is that any of your beeswax? Could I also not make unhealthy food choices at a convenience store? Whether or not you live in reality...

Every 24-hour highway rest stop in the US should have DC fast chargers. Additionally, every gas station with a 24-hour convenience store should have DC fast chargers. I think a much better location for DC fast chargers is Mcdonalds restaurants. A trip to Mcdonalds usually lasts about 20-30...

I totally disagree. The Volt is a great car! Finest car I've ever owned! You describe that it's not a great EV and it's not a great Hybrid, But you fail to realize that because it can do both It's a fantastic car. The Prius can not drive me to work and back day in and day out using no gasoline...

In reading this thread, one thing stands out! Most i-Miev owners don't consider the Chevy Volt to be an EV. For most there was an overwhelming desire to have a battery only vehicle. In describing other vehicles that were considered in addition to the i-Miev, all other electrics are mentioned but...

Let it sit on their lot for 6 months and they'll be in a better mood to deal! We got our i-miev used with 8800 miles for $10,500, but the dealer originally asked $15,000 for it. While it sat for 6 months on their lot they dropped the price to $14,000, then $13,000 then finally $12,000. I offered...

RobertC, I really liked your reply. The pictures really made it! Felt like I was watching an infomercial. But seriously really good stuff! I'm going to print it off and give it to my wife as a guide to maximize winter driver range. Thanks again!
