Bluey is still on the original 12v & traction batteries. Both are still working well.
I would guestimate that the I am getting close to a 10% range drop judging by the regular driving routes I've taken over the years.
Up here in Quebec Canada, we run the heater on our cars for a good 5-6...
Glad to hear of other i Miev owners getting upwards of 100K Miles (160K km).

Here's an older post on this same situation .

Some were lucky and got away with a cleaning and lubrication of the shifter system.
Good luck with the fix.
Sorry to hear of your bad luck.
If you're parting it out , I would be interested in some parts.
Shipping costs could be an issue - I'm in Canada.
I'll send you a personal message.
Looking backward to my ICE driving days .
Had a thought .....
I remember a similar situation where the owner had a huge amount of keys attached to the cars ignition switch.
Over time & many miles the rattling keys damaged the ignition switch and the car car would periodically cut out.
I just did my end of month mileage recording..
I believe today I am over 190,xxx km ( 118,xxx miles)
As for my Range remaining readings -
keep in mind that my last 20 km (12 miles) drive home involves
a climb of approximately 203 m ( 665 ft )
at a speed of about 50 kmph (30mph)...
A few questions...
What kind of mileage does he have?.
Does this happen regularly or randomly?
Has he tried other drive modes ( E , B ) when this happens.
Did the car react as if it was in turtle mode ( speed limitations etc) when this happened?
I agree a CaniOn reading would be an eye...
For 1 Canadian winter month.....
I would try and get a neighbour to use it 1 day a week .
Get him to charge it up the night before he drives it and would be nice if the charge in the battery is around 50 % or so when he's done.
