Sorry... I just don't get to the internet as often as I'd like outside of work... I gave up on Electrify America and cancelled my membership. Twice I've had heart patients in my car and charging at an EA site has been an hour to two hour delay just to unhook from the holster, without receiving...

Before I took my car in to get repaired I had used the EA system for DCQC about about 20 times without issue. After getting it repaired it kept trying to initiate charging, but never succeeded and also would not release the holster taking about an hour each time before it released.

Gosh!!!! This is exactly what I've been looking for!!! I think I could do this project, especially once I get my DCQC mysteries solved.

Thanks Joe, Is it possible to rename the thread: My DCQC can no longer choose between CHAdeMO ChargePoint and Electrify America

My OBC level 1 and 2 died and I was at a loss for what to do. We figured out I could still DC quick charge it and that might give me time to try to figure out options. After several weeks while I was doing the 20 mile trip to DCQC I received a recall notice from Mitsubishi that they would fix...

My dc/dc unit died and I need to find a used unit. Any suggestions of how/where to find one? Our local salvage company says they can't locate one anywhere in the US and our used auto parts place says they won't handle foreign parts.

Thanks.. Very helpful info. On occasion a neighborhood here might lose power for 2-3 days every couple of years, but there is always some place in the city that has power which would allow me to recharge. During construction of the tiny home we were using the 500 watt heater, before the...

I wonder if anyone has gone to Lowe's or Menard's to pick up an inverter to provide emergency back up and used it similar to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqk4IjzjXs&t=519s My frig is already DC and I've tested with the i-miev in the summer. It sips electricity and for the hour...

Sorry Tigger, With a combine income south of $28k, I doubt my brother will be buying a Bolt. B

My brother's wife wants an i-Miev. Its possibly within their budget. Trick is 4 dealerships in the region just stopped servicing them. Contact me Tigger. And absolutely enjoy your new car.

Congratulations as well. Regarding cold weather driving... After a friend living in Japan sent me photos I realized it was culturally normative for many Japanese to consider heating mainly the lower half of the body and wearing warmer clothing on top in the "living room" of traditonal homes...

Update and more on the importance of participation. Link to Kalamazoo: https://driveelectricweek.org/event.php?eventid=974 Now to the importance - As you know, 2 billion dollars is being distributed by VW for states to support charging infrastructure. There is to be a big emphasis on DCQC...

I know there are i-miev owners lurking in Grand Rapids, Holland and likely other cities. There are 3 NDEW events happening in my region - Hastings, Kalamazoo and South Haven. We can arrange to have Level 2 charging. The Hastings Date is: September 9th at 11am South Haven is: Sept. 11th at...

The CC likely has an internal power supply to generate low-voltage dc for the control circuits, and likely uses one Line leg to Neutral to source this power. Neutral is a return leg for power, but Ground is a protective Earth connection for safety and only carries current in a fault situation...

A friend who has converted his Saturn Vue to fully electric and has worked as a mechanic at a big three dealership helped me build a converter socket/plug for my Clipper Creek 14-50 charger. The idea was to use the converter to make it possible for my 14-50 to charge at locations with NEMA...

I'm late to the party, but truly this is a historic trip. If I was in charge of the universe this would be listed in EV Currents or Sierra Club or National Geographic. I am SO charged up about this. Ben

By any chance are you tracking your daily average speed and conditions like wind, rain, cold, average elevation changes? Of course you could spend all your focus on data and miss seeing the roses for the data... but in a perfect world what ever you do, you'd enjoy yourself. :D

Incredible... we have four NDEW sites (two new) across the state. Whoo-hooo!!! Two sites will have an imiev to represent reasonable driving. Still wishing my Holland and Grand Rapids neighbors would come down with theirs, but it does require some hypermiling and a single charge in Plainwell...

About 1/3 of the time after a five plus hour trip from Kalamazoo to Ann Arbor, I can go to Ann Arbor Nissan and their DC quick charger will be working. The rapid charge I pick up there allows me to get quickly to Canton to visit my sister.... An additional challenge is the Nissan dealer locks...

I'll have Gregg, the imiev, at the NDEW-Kalamazoo event. It's been really tough, being a part of hosting this while on the road or working hospice, but the local Kalamazoo electric car group has been filling in for me and doing great job. Do wish other i-miev drivers would come out of the...
