Re: Just purchased my MIEV!
I am in rockford Illinois. This is my second electric car. My first was a 2009 Kandi ev....which is parked next to my miev in my driveway as we speak.
I will use the miev to go back and forth to work mostly. 3 miles from work so perfect! And it has the regular speeds,heat and Air conditioning that the Kandi doesn't. Kandi is now my car show vehicle....
I am mostly impressed by the regenerative braking and the impressive acceleration....and the fact that there is a national dealer/service network.

Re: Just purchased my MIEV!
Quite a step up! http://prosserrv.com/electric-vehicles.html Three miles to work? - the Kandi would be good for that, although my wife would make me walk or at most ride a bicycle.

Re: Just purchased my MIEV!
Congratulations on your new Miev
Enjoy driving it and hope you have the same great experience we have had with ours so far -
2012 Miev more than
37,000 miles (60,000 km) and still very happy.

Re: Just purchased my MIEV!
Had an odd experience with progressive insurance last evening. I thought the $600 for 6 months with state farm was high....but progressive had me on hold for over half an hour because they couldn't even find the miev in their system. Hahaha! Their quote was just a bit less when they finally figured it out.

Re: Just purchased my MIEV!
That's odd. I have Progressive and they had no problem finding the i-MiEV.
3 miles, that is at least a week and a half on one charge without other trips. If you park in the sun, you could do a solar roof and never plug in again.

Re: Just purchased my MIEV!
Enjoying my miev immensely.
I find it odd that they recommend against 'topping it off ' when its over half full though. I guess that's a lithium ion thing...right?
