Hello all, If interested, I traded my iMiev for a Chevy Bolt approx. a month ago. The i is currently for sale on their website for $6995. http://www.jechevy.com It was always an excellent car. 28,127 miles. SE model. I put two new front tires on it a month before I traded it.

Thx Kiev. I read about the fire ant problem you had. I've looked already but I will look again to ensure that I haven't missed something not so obvious. :mrgreen:

Hello all. 2012 SE with approx. 27K miles. factory stock. Never had any problems in the past. Last week I started having what I believe to be not a problem yet but just an anomaly. Up to last week, when I plug in my level 2 EVSE to charge the car, it charges as normal. It would start...

I apologize for the delay, busy summer and I haven't been on this site in a while. Anyhoo, I'm fairly certain you've already sourced another battery by now but you asked which one I used so I'd like to pass that info. Optima Yellow Top D51R. It fits nicely but the Optima is too wide for the...

I replaced my original with an Optima yellow top.

Thanks for the quick reply. I knew the charger was in the car and was hoping it would charge at a much higher amperage. I don't have the quick charge option so looking for every little bit I can.

Hello and I hope everyone is doing well. Does anyone know what the max amperage is that our cars will charge at with a level 2 charger.

Speaking of pre-heating, I recently bought 3 of those silicone heaters, the type that are installed on oil pans of trucks to keep the engine warm before use on cold mornings. I plan to install 2 of them on the plastic tank in the engine compartment to pre-heat the heating fluid before use...

I can see how you benefit from the timer. Pertaining to your battery dilemma, I have already started designing an additional battery pack with 90 or 100 amp hour batts to add to my i. It will more than double the range. Even with the added cost of the 2nd pack and the cost of my car I might...

I do like the pre-heat feature and use it a good bit. I completely understand other's concerns about the peak hours and waiting to charge when it's cheaper. Also waiting to let the battery pack cool down before charging. All valid points. My dilemma was that I was only finding info that the...

I agree some customers could be interested in the feature. I'm not doubting what you're saying, I just can't imagine that such an insignificant feature would cause a no sale. Now the pre-heat and pre-cool function, those are definitely a home run but still wouldn't cause me to not buy the car...

I for the life of me do not think I'd ever use this feature. When I get out of my car and need to charge it, I charge it. I don't have any reason to wait for it to start charging later. I'm thinking there has to be a reason that Mitsu would include a feature like this and spend time and money...

If I'm at home it doesn't really matter since I just plug it in and leave it until the next day. On the road I use the public charging stations so no EVSE brick to look at.

If you have seen a Leaf charging or Chevy Spark they have an led indicator on top of the dash showing that charging is taking place.

I know about the remote and like it. I'd also like to add the led charging indicator if possible.

Hello all, I've got a question pertaining to a charging indicator. Of course we have the indicator on the dash that shows the car is being charged. The Leaf, Volt and others also have an indicator on top of the dash or exterior showing that from a distance, charging is taking place. It would...

I purchased mine approx. 3 weeks ago. It had 36 on the RR and I needed to go 48 miles. Not knowing how much I could "eek" out of it I opted to go to a local Mitsu dealer and charge up to full. 3.5 hrs later I was charged and went home. This is my 3rd ev and it usually takes a couple weeks of...

Some thoughts after having the i for a week and driving approx. 500 miles. All in all I really like the i but I did stop using the RR meter. I'll cover that in a minute. I own 3 ev's at present and two of them have a range "guess o meter". My 3rd ev is lead battery based so no RR. Only a...

My last ev had a gas heater with a fuel tank. It had a gas fuel door on the side of the car. I couldn't see having an electric vehicle with a gas component of any kind so I removed it to use an electric heater instead.

One of 2 options I'm currently researching. 1. Addition of a second J1772 charging port to facilitate charging from either side. 2. Addition of a second battery pack. It will have it's own charger, bms and j1772 charging port. The charging port would be installed behind the quick charge door.
