I bought it when I got the MiniCab in May 2018 but I've only used it a couple of times as I found my range anxiety was unfounded. Configured from the factory with both single and three phase input (usually they are either one or the other) so I could get single phase power from a high current...

My experience with Canion hasn't been good, although I believe a proper manual would help (and yes I do know its unsupported yadda yadda yadda). It doesn't appear that the issues with Canion are consistent, although I would at least like to monitor charging rate (which I did once or twice) but...

A 2014 model should have the later battery technology, which probably accounts for the range.

In your opinion, do you feel that getting hold of the firmware is the most straightforward way to proceed ? I agree that its most likely to be get-able in binary form ... however ..... I have a few ideas bumping around and will pursue those,

For what its worth, I have a portable generator that I use in emergency to charge my MiEV Minicab. The only modification needed was a 100 ohm 1 watt resistor between the earth and neutral pins of a plug inserted into the second power outlet on the generator. Note that this is in Australia where...

Thanks, will go looking for same colour in my Minicab. The only manual I have is all japanese and I don't understand even one symbol, although the book is so thin that I doubt it has much info anyway.

Can anyone advise me exactly where the OBD port is located on a Minicab ? There is no point in asking an Australian Mitsubishi dealer as the Minicab was never sold here, the only examples being private imports.

Can anyone enlighten me on 12v cable behind the dash in a Minicab ? This one was modified by Mitsubishi for the japanese Post Office with a plate riveted over where I presume the ashtray used to live, and a blanking plug in the hole where the cigarette lighter lived. I can't see any loose wired...
