    passenger seat heater

    I have purchased an aftermarket seat heater for the passenger in my iMiev. It plugs into the cigarette lighter. Does that pull only from the 12V battery or from the main propulsion battery? How does the 12V battery get recharged? Is it possible to drain it too quickly with an infrared seat...

    Rustproofing the iMiev?

    hi folks, We usually get our cars rustproofed. The folks usually drill holes all over the place to get into the doors etc, spray a kind of oil (that inevitably drips out on to the driveway for days/weeks later) and then plug the holes with plastic caps. Is this a good idea for the iMiev? I'm...

    Preheating the car while plugged in

    We've tried repeatedly to pre-heat the car while it's still plugged in (EVlink L2) before my wife's range-busting commute to work (where she cannot plug in) up here in Canada, with limited success. As far as I can determine: a) the remote is not very clear at confirming the right signal has...

    EVlink

    any of you have experience with the EVlink from Schneider Electric? We're considering it for our garage. It seems to have gotten good reviews from Leaf owners on the Home Depot website (where it retails for $799 in Canada) but one never quite knows how independent that selection of reviews is...

    Revenge of the Electric Car

    I just watched The Revenge of the Electric Car (the sequel to Who Killed the Electric Car). It's a good movie, but it makes absolutely no mention of the iMiev, as if it doesn't exist. The whole field is framed as a 3-way race between Nissan, GM, and Tesla. What gives? You can watch the movie...

    how green are EVs?

    Seems to be some recent controversy about how green EVs are, with the release of Ozzie Zehner's new book Green Illusions (www.greenillusions.org) and the National Academy of Sciences report (chapter on transportation - see http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=12794)...

    What's the WORST range you've gotten

    I've enjoyed the various posts about the best range owners have gotten from the I, but as a prospective owner struggling with range anxiety and contemplating this as our only car, living in Canada where most of the year it's either bloody cold or sweltering hot (meaning the heat or ac will be on...

    Anyone have this as their ONLY car?

    Hi. We're seriously considering the iMiev as our only car. We live in the suburbs but I commute by train. My wife works part time in another town. She's the main driver. We would trade in our 2007 Matrix for the iMiev, as we don't really need a second car (especially since I already have a...
