Won't a Car Fax (or equivalent source) show when the car was put in service? My car was built in August 2012 but I didn't lease it until February 2013, so the 10 year warranty on the battery runs until February, 2023.

Greetings new IMIEV owner, I would be somewhat concerned about a car that was delivered with no charge. Sitting at the dealer with little or no charge cannot be good for the battery. When you charged it at home did it fully charge (all 16 bars illuminated) and what was the estimated range on...

Greeting Electronauts, I just noticed the indicator light in my seat heater switch (driver side only) is no longer working. Heater works, bulb does not illuminate. Any advice how to access the bulb? Thanks

2012 with about 51,000+ miles. Original owner. Over the past few months have noticed the turtle coming on when capacity bars are 13/14 out of 16 and speed about 55/60 and accelerating. As soon as I back off on the accelerator the turtle goes away. Not original 12V battery. Any thoughts?

Amazing. Of all the electric cars on the market that could have been in the article and there was our humble IMEV. I was thrilled to see our car. I wonder how many in the general public saw the picture and wondered, "what is that"?. 47849 miles

If it's the original OEM flooded lead acid battery perhaps check the water level in the cells.

I've always liked the look of the blue door graphic with the plug on the white car. In fact for a while I was looking to replace my silver car with a white one with the graphic. At one point early on in my IMIEV ownership I tried to get that graphic (different color) for my silver car but it was...

151R is the correct group size. Changed my lifeless original (2012) battery today for a new Interstate flooded lead acid. Getting the positive connection disconnected was tricky since there is not much slack in that cable. All is good. Stay charged my friend.
