    Propane Camping heater

    Thanks Don, I've already had the upgrade done! At our house she uses 240V but her parents live in an apartment that has a garage but only 120V available in the garage. Sorry to hear about your wife's fall. I didn't realize that Biloxi had snow and ice this past winter. Thanks also to DonDakin...

    Propane Camping heater

    Thanks Don, Yes we bought it and Yes we plan to keep it for a long time. The discussion always seems to come back to the diesel heater....But here's why I'm hesitant to bite that much off 1) Some winters here are rather mild (Last year was unusually cold for everybody) 2) My wife runs in a...

    Propane Camping heater

    Okay Plan B: Has anyone tried one of the 12 volt cigarette lighter plug electric blankets? I know the i-miev has the seat heater, so how about a blanket over you while you drive that's electrically heated. Last year was brutally cold here for our part of the country. We hadn't bought our i-miev...

    Propane Camping heater

    Maybe it's too early to consider winter driving in the heat of August, but we've only had our i-miev a couple of months now, and I'm concerned about winter range. My wife uses the car for short little errands like to our daughter's school and back, the grocery store, the cleaners, shopping...

    Purchased a 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage ES with CVT

    How do you like it? You know it gets a lot of bad reviews! Just like our i-Miev. We don't feel that a lot of the criticism of our car is accurate or justifed! So, since you've opened this can of worms about your ICE car on an electric car site tell us about it!

    New Battery Pack at 2,000 Miles

    Thanks Mike, Again I was just curious, but the background story was very interesting. Lets hope that the battery failure was just a fluke, and that your i will perform flawlessly from here out. We bought one that sat on a dealers lot for 6 months during a very brutal winter. So far it has...

    New Battery Pack at 2,000 Miles

    The gist of your story is that you were well taken care of (loaner car and all), even though the dealer indicated that this was a rare event that even they, had not experienced before. But there are some off-topic details that were left out. My curiosity has the best of me! Can you tell us what...

    Cost to replace an i-miev battery?

    I posted a question regarding what it would cost to replace the i-Miev pack if it were not replaced under warranty. The only scenario that I can envision is if an owner ran over some type of debris in the roadway causing damage that would require the pack to be replaced. As far as I know this...

    Any on the lot?

    Lou, I got the Volt two years ago....Absolutely love this car. I know you will too if you decide to go with a Volt! I realized that most of the time I drive on electric power only and since my wife drives less than I do (She's a housewife), I knew she could use an all-electric. For a second...

    Any on the lot?

    According to Autotrader.com The closest one to you would be at Five Star Mitsubishi in Altoona, PA . They claim to have a new 2014 in stock. If you like black, you should also check out the Used 2012 I-miev in Totawa, NJ for an asking price of $9991. We bought our I used for $10,500. For that...

    Any on the lot?

    You can search on Autotrader.com for "New 2014's" and you will find a few on the lot. But it may not be on a lot near you. All have no or low miles and you can see the pictures. If you like you can buy one over the internet and have it shipped to your location, but of course that means no test...

    Mitsubishi does not want to sell EVs in the USA

    What's not to get? Dealerships are independent businesses that sell Mitsubishi vehicles. In 2012 When the I-Miev first came to the U.S. the local Mitsubishi dealer in our city ordered three. After 18 months on the lot they sold them for less than they paid for them (fire sale) just to get rid of...

    Mitsubishi / Nissan deal for a cheap electric? (2016/17)

    200km translates to 124 miles. Likely 100 miles is the target for the US cycle.

    Cost to replace an i-miev battery?

    Although I agree and I know you are correct, one issue that is possible is damage to the battery caused by running over something in the road. Insurance would come into play, however in my case I purchased my wife's I for $10,500 (gently used) and if the battery is more than that (which is...

    Cost to replace an i-miev battery?

    Not trying to start something here, and excuse me if this question has already been asked, but does anyone have any information about the cost of a battery replacement for the US spec I-miev? This is our second EV, and of course we are big fans of electric cars. Many friends and relatives have...

    What Other EV's Have You Driven?

    A Chevy Volt - Owned for the past two years. The first time I ever drove it was when I drove it home from Dallas Texas to Memphis, Tennessee. Love It, Love it, Love it. Use it as an EV to commute to work and back with no range anxiety when called upon to make unexpected or unplanned excursions...

    New or preowned?

    Yes, we just purchased a pre-owned i-Miev and the warranties transfer. Confirmed with the local Mitsubishi dealer and from the selling dealership. Also confirmed by creating an account with MitsubishiMNA.com. All cars are tracked by their VIN number so Mitsubishi website gave me all the warranty...

    Help me decide???

    Let me respond to your points: 1. You certainly can disagree with me as long as you understand that I can disagree with you. Even though you've had these disussions with other EVers and you think it's all settled, each garage or parking location is certainly different, but for me as soon as I...

    Help me decide???

    I think you forgot the sales tax and Doc fee. Interest rates are based on credit. Let's not talk about that! Suffice to say it's not as low as 4% but not as high as 11%
