Update: I've been commuting daily for one month now in the used 2012 I-Miev that I purchased on Jan. 1. It's 54 miles roundtrip with most of the route on a highway and there are a few steep hills. I've made it roundtrip without charging 4 times, but most days I charge it for 2 1/2 hours about 4...

I wanted to thank everyone for their good advice. It helped me get through my first 5 weeks of being a used 2012 I-Miev owner. So far, everything has been wonderful, although we have been very cautious as we learn about the car's capabilities. We haven't seen the turtle. The farthest we have...

After looking at dozens of EVSE chargers on Amazon, this is the one I am planning to purchase: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LMV6LJR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ASIYMWBVZG7J0&psc=1

Thank you all for the info. I'm doing some shopping online to find the EVSE that seems just right for now and the future.

Two days after I had my 2012 I-Miev delivered to my house, I left for a long-planned and much-needed vacation. I've driven the I-Miev a few times to the grocery store, but I'm just now getting back to figuring out what electrical improvements I need in my garage and what EVSE equipment I need to...

TobyGadd, Thank you for the note. It is exciting and a wee bit scary. I can't wait to learn first-hand about driving an electric car. And once I get used to the car and the weather gets warmer, I'm planning to use it to commute to work daily. It will be nice driving past the gas station...

JoeS, Thank you for all the info. I used that link you supplied and yes, the i-Miev had the premium package option when it was sold in 2012, and that did include the quick charge port. I believe the EVSE I am getting was made by Mitsubishi because it had a Mitsubishi tag on it. I saw the EVSE...

Kiev, Thank you for the advice. I was able to arrange a car transport service for the 162-mile maiden voyage to my house. Given the weather forecast of rain turning to snow, and temperatures dipping to the 20s, I think that is the best option. Otherwise I was looking at a 15 or 16 hour trip...

Sheinr4143, Thank you for the advice. I am rethinking my plan for driving the car home... either adding extra stops for charging at shorter distances, taking non Thruway roads, or paying a car transport service. I sure don't want to run out of juice on my first trip. That would be too...

Hello everyone, I just joined your forum after reading it voraciously for about a week. I submitted an offer on a 2012 i-Miev SE with 16,000 miles on it and it was accepted by the private party owner. It's a beautiful car that looks like it just rolled off a showroom floor. I am supposed to...
