Even if US version is less efficient I'd love to buy one and import to Europe because I like how it looks. I doubt if anybody has US version here in Europe :) So if anybody wanna sell their iMiEV - pls contact me, I will arrange all shipping and exporting overseas. I prefer dark colours - like...

it is UM-EVSE, I have that cable bought from Sweden. I use it now with Leaf, but previously used with iOn. It is great and factory should looks like this, it has EVSE built-in. :)

just to point out that european (narrower) version of iMiEV (and also C-Zero/iOn) have Cd = 0.33 as compared to 0.35 US MIEV. Also new 2013 Leaf has Cd=0.28 (worth pointing out, older Leaf Cd=0.29) :)

How to determine winning bid amount? This car is really don't worth more than $8K... I wonder what copart thinks... While leaf can be bought for 15K not damaged.... Imievs will be 12K not damaged in spring 2013....

I wonder what is reserve price of that miev, but could be $15000 which is unacceptable... especially there is now another topic with brand new cars from 2012 with $10000 rebate from Mitsubishi.... I think it is (damaged) not worth more than $8000, there is one new picture showing frame damage...

sold for $7600... good price... I was too late ;)

is that this car? http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/bens-refurbished-mitsubishi-miev-24792.html :)

is this one of these flooded imievs from Copart? I saw auctions. Well... I think I would risk connecting 12V to open everything I want - even if car was flooded, connecting 12V but not starting the car will not make any damage, eventually fuse will be blown. But that's only my opinion.

here official Mitsubishi iMiEV 2013 improvements: The changes are as follows: - A new, lighter and more efficient electric motor delivers 196 Nm (up from 180 Nm) - The range is increased by 10 km (EU test standard) from 150 km to 160 km - LED front light, requires less energy, stronger, whiter...

Here in Poland "charging station" in Katowice - parking of city council Parked my iOn. why in "" ? parking reserved for disabled people, two spaces - charging station there. this station needs a card to operate - and this card cannot be obtained anywhere. this station is there since 2010. No...

Also european version has a bit better range than US version - 70 miles should be no problem. This is because of Cx is 0,33 and in US version Cx is 0,35 EU version is narrower, lower & shorten :) I drive Peugeot iOn with 4500km on the clock (about 2800 miles) and range is like it was new. I...

I just checked my EU specs Peugeot iOn and it has different size rear tires! front is same: 145/65/R15 but rear is: 175/55/R15 so a bit lower... I wonder why?

could you please post results? is this working? I mean in theory it keeps heat for longer time, but how in practice? I have no insulation, factory heater and yesterday was some snow and -3 celcius (I can't operate Fahrenheit), and was pretty cold, heater almost to max + blower, lost 1/3 range...

yes but what does it means to battery capacity? ;) I was saying 16kWh vs. 14.5kWh in the same EU model comparing newer & older manual from same car. So I advise any new imiev buyer to check what battery capacity it has ;) Perhaps this is valid for 2013 and not now.

and with better Cx=0.33 and range :) also same kWh capacity (16kWh) I meant newer versions to have 14.5kWh according to user manual (built after 05.2012)
