Hi Andrew, I’m interested! I have a 2012 with some bad cells. Let me know if they are still available! -John

I have a 2012 SE with two front windshield wipers and love the car. But I'm wondering if my windshield washer spray nozzle is defective because appears the fluid exits in one single stream with no fan out at all :cry:. I realize the nozzle is relatively close to the glass but I think it...

Alohart! Sorry to hear we are losing a fellow Hawaii resident i-Miev'er. Thanks for your great posts. My wife would like her own EV and has been admiring the i3 for a while. As much as we love our i-Miev, we might be a fellow i3 member one day. My biggest disappointment was that you didn't...

Nice find PV1! I will try this next week and see if I can update my photo and instructions. I'm glad somebody has a good ear! :oops: -John

Hi Olin, Cutter Mitsubishi in Aiea charged me only $100 for the Annual Maintenance. It's $89.95 plus tax and misc. I got an estimate before I brought it in. They checked my front brake pads, tires, and traction battery. They also checked and adjusted fluid levels and adjusted tire pressure...

I also just agreed to participate in the study. It's a 2012 SE purchased in May 2013 and currently has about 9300 miles. I'm in the Honolulu area. Just took it in for my one year maintenance about 3 weeks ago. Original traction battery, no problems other than my aux battery had a lot of...

Don't the headlights draw electricity from the auxiliary battery? So it really doesn't affect range? Or do the mains have directly recharge the aux battery when it gets low? Also, all this talk about how great the fog lights are. I was so envious that I went out and bought an OEM kit to...

Here are the pictures of the seat covers I have. These were generic, one size fits all, padded seat covers with black elastic material on the back that was designed to cover the head rest. I think it cost about $20 at our local Costco. It didn't fit since our head rests are so tall. My wife...

Hi Olin! What I did was buy some quilted hawaiian seat covers at COSTCO for about $20. Since our head rests are so tall they didn't fit. My wife trimmed the top to make it fit just the torso part of the seat and sewed two pukas on the top for the head rest posts. My head rarely rests on the...

I think if you already have a separate L2 device, you wouldn't need to buy a backup EVSE. I upgraded my OEM EVSE but then I found out that even after the credits, it was very expensive to wire a new 240v outlet near the car. Since the L1/L2 EVSE upgrade also increased the L1 capability to 12...

Yes! I would be interested as well. I filled out the form here: http://extendmyseat.com/my-car-is-not-listed/ If they get enough interested people, they will consider engineering a solution. Seems like a high quality product. -John

Hi Folks! Got the Clipper Creek EVSE today in the mail (pretty quick for free shipping!). It works very well. I measured the current as 11.3 amps which is the same as the upgraded OEM EVSE at level 1 (120V). The upgraded OEM EVSE has the advantage of having the capability to charge at Level...

Not affiliated with the seller but this is a really good price for a new EVSE. Clipper Creek is not the best but it's a 12 amp Level 1 for $300, free shipping. I bought one because I didn't want to be stranded if my OEM EVSE fails. I upgraded my OEM EVSE to Level 1/2 and voided its warranty...

Here's Mule2500's soldering solution (sent to me via email). Works and cheap! Thanks Tom! -John

Glad this is working for some of you! Still need to find that connector. I saw that C15 connector but what we need is a similar looking 22 pin connector. The C15 is 18 pins. Maybe the source will be Panasonic? To post photos, I use a round-about process. Created a Flicker account and...
