Friends, My I-Miev has been sold. Thank you to everyone over the past 4 years for your insight about this great little car. It made me an EV believer. I hope to see some of you on the other side.......https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/categories/tesla-motors-forum.47/ Dave

I am saying "Goodbye" to my friendly little I-Miev. This fantastic little car taught me the benefits of driving Electric and is being replaced with a Model S. Details of my I-Miev can be viewed here: https://tinyurl.com/ycfmttkw The car is located in Normal IL. I am listing the car here first...

I as most I-Miev owners, all wonder why they have not sold better. I live in EV town http://www.evtown.org/ which had 250 I-Mievs on the streets until the leases were up. The buy outs were no deals, so the numbers have dwindled. I am glad I bought rather than leased. Dave 2012 Black I-Miev...

Once you drive the IMiev on slippery snowy roads, you will have another like. Thanks for the honest acurate review. Dave - a car just like yours, but black

Did you get the car home? What are your first impressions? Just curious, Dave

Are you talking about body rust, or rust on the rear axle, shock absorbers, and other frame parts? My car has spent three years in salty central Illinois winters. The body is perfect, and the little rust on the frame welds and bolt heads is nothing to worry about in my opinion. Those parts will...

Yes, Normal is EV town http://www.evtown.org/ . Take a look at Plugshare http://www.plugshare.com/ and you will see 30+ public level 2 chargers, 1 CHAdeMO, and 4 Tesla Super Chargers in our Bloomington/Normal area. All are free. We have Nissan, Chevrolet, Ford, Toyota and Mitsubishi dealers...

Since I live nearby, I attended yesterday’s Mitsubishi Owner’s Day event. I arrived just after the beginning time of 9 AM. I was astounded by how many people the event attracted. They had designated parking sorted by your vehicle model. I-Miev parking was farthest from the tents and being...

For the record, my daughter who also owns a 2012 I-Miev also recieved the same letter that I did Saturday. I did check "My Garage" in the Mitsubishi web site and it still indicates 8 years. I will save my letter. I can scan mine and post it somewhere in a few days if others don't get your...

I recieved a letter from Mitsubishi today informing me that my 2012 Imiev's battery warrantee has been extended to 10 years 100,000 miles. Thank you Mitsubishi! I feel my battery after two years is as good as new. Why would they do this? Dave 2012 Black I-Miev 2012 Black Prius Trek...

If a battery pack has a defective cell and will not work in a car, how could it work in a solar storage system? Wouldn't the defective cell still be a problem in the solar application too? I suspect they just harvest good cells from old packs for reuse. Dave

I am 64 years old, and bought my first car 48 years ago. It was 1967 Ford Mustang. To keep it running, I did all of the tire rotations, oil changes, grease jobs, and maintenance myself. I owned a timing light, dwell meter, and all of the tools needed to rebuild a carburetor, repair the...

Press the SET button, then select SYSTEM and then TIME. On that page you can set time zone and Daylight savings time. I suspect you just need to turn Daylight Savings Time on. I hope this helps, Dave

I logged into https://www.mitsubishicars.com/owners/service/warranty and viewed my service record, which reflects my car's information. Under the Warranty Information for 2012 i-MiEV - ELECTRIC, MAIN-DRIVE LITHIUM BATTERY - IMIEV EV ONLY, I see: Months 96 Mileage 100000 Warranty Expiration*...

Is 10 years a typo, or do you have some new information? The Mitsubishi web sit indicates 8 years/100,000 miles. http://www.mitsubishicars.com/imiev/features/safety-and-warranty Dave
