Has anyone re-purposed an iMiev battery pack to use in a home solar setup? I'm interested in any thoughts on doing this.

They told me its required but I'm going to look into this more. If it really isnt and winter coming I'd at least have time to save for the expense.

I was thinking the same thing about why not get it fixed instead of a whole new compressor. Thank you for pointing out the used one's on eBay thats an option for sure. One thing i'm afraid of is they dont really know wtf the problem is. The last time i had an issue where it wouldnt start they...

They're telling me it has an internal short which causes the entire car to shut down

Sorry feel free to move to where it should be. I'm going to attempt to escalate this with Mits. Any one know of any good resources on how to approach that? The video I posted on the other thread ended up being a support bracket for the A/C compressor. It wouldn't surprise me if this is...

If you couldnt tell I was rather pissed off when I wrote that, still am actually. But title is a little on the dramatic side i'll admit

Anyone considering this car I suggest you run in the other direction. 3 years old and i'm looking at $4000 in repairs for a defective A/C compressor

Well almost exactly one year to the day as the last time my iMiev wont "start". Exactly the same symptoms as last time: http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2292 I just got it back from getting the A/C support bracket replaced cost $400

I think it may be a broken AC support bracket like sandange mentioned. I can see something moving around when the A/C kicks in and its banging against something else, that's the noise. My dealer is out of my range and would need to be towed. If it were a support bracket what portion of...

Horrible noise coming from my iMiev when running A/C Edit: No longer private https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oakCtXQsNsM Anyone else have this happen?

Just a follow up. I got my iMiev back. They replaced the charger and the EV-ECU all under warranty.

Do you think this could have caused any damage to the battery?

Totally agreed but at least I was at home at the time. I'm not sure if its related but for about a week or so before this took place I wasn't getting the range I would have expected. Full bars after each charge still though but they seemed to drop off faster. I would have 10-20 kms RR less...

I just got a call from Mitsubishi service and they are replacing the charger which is covered under warranty

HAHA, I did the exact same thing at an OnRoute between Windsor and London
