    i-bargains

    How much in fees do those salvage sites add? I've looked at copart. (I always think of cops making art) Are there others? Also I read an article once about how people were buying wrecked evs sight unseen and they get there and there is no HV battery... so beware of that.

    shudder from rear at hwy speeds

    Yes it was a Yokohama Avid Envigor... in the summer after I had just filled it up to 50psi. I just bought another to replace it, If i had seen your post earlier I may have splurged for the Enasave at twice the price.

    shudder from rear at hwy speeds

    It was the tire falling apart! When I did a quick look at it it must have been on the bottom side. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3332098826917214&set=p.3332098826917214&type=3&theater

    shudder from rear at hwy speeds

    Hello. My 2012 with 42k mi just started getting a bit of a shudder, most noticeable under regen but a bit under acceleration and a tiny bit when coasting in N. Then today I was on the freeway and at 60mph or above there was the shudder but with a tk tk tk tk sound. More from driver's side than...

    Back Seat Lever

    I am always putting the rear seats up and down and both my levers wore out pretty quickly. I removed the hard-to-get-to screw with a short phillips bit held in visegrips, and then removed the broken lever and left said visegrips permanently on the metal square nub as the new lever.

    Wallbox Quasar or other bi-directional chademo

    hmm i assumed it could be used for emergency backup power but maybe i was just interpreting optimistically. that said, i have a salvage chademo cable and i want somebody to make the black box that goes between that and the house when the power goes out. and also to figure out how to tell the...

    Drivetrain transplant

    i have two electravans, (evalbum.com/4180) with mediocre brakes and no regen and old dying lithium batteries, very primitive analog stuff. they are rear wheel drive and i think with axles from the narrower version of the miev the drive unit would swap in nicely. if small enough wheels and tires...

    Wallbox Quasar or other bi-directional chademo

    https://electrek.co/2020/01/06/wallbox-quasar-tesla-nissan/ they describe a new bi-directional chademo unit that can charge the car at 7.4kw and also discharge it to provide power at that same rate. Would the miev need a software or wiring change to get it to give up power through the chademo...

    Will a hot, humid climate like Louisiana be something to worry about if I get an iMiEV?

    I have one in New Orleans, had it about two years now. Some reduction in range but not outrageous. If you are in New Orleans hit me up. Luke

    power windows not working

    I tried to roll up all the windows at once while on chademo charging, and now all the window controls are not working, as well as the driver's power lock. . passenger power lock and remote lock still fine. So I assume it isn't the fuse. Does that door switch panel share w any other Mitsubishi?

    Supplemental cooling for the charger.

    ok i ordered the fan. Instead of a temp activated switch, is there a 12v source nearby that is on when the charger is on? that would do for me since its pretty hot here for a lot of the year and the fan is only a few watts.

    Supplemental cooling for the charger.

    just found this thread... I'm so glad. I live in new orleans and often charge in the daytime, where sun shines down through my back window! I'll start charging at night. i like the blower system, i would love to buy a kit if it becomes commercial or try to make my own. so the fan power is...

    Skinnier rear tires on front rims

    Could you put skinny tires on the back if you got a set of the skinny front rims? You would have to keep the diameter ratio difference the same between front and back, so not sure this tire size exists. You would give up some traction but would you gain enough efficiency to justify swapping?
