Jray3, You are welcme. I am very happy to see you have two I-MiEVs.

Brand New Dunlop Graspic DS-3 Winter Tires for i-MiEV. Also, I have a set of OEM SE rims with TPMS sensors for sale. To purchase, see my auctions below...

Hi Fellow i-MiEV drivers, Here is your chance for fame -- I need four good i-MiEV stories for presentation at Plugin 2013 on Wednesday. Unique uses? Long trips? Will you buy again? Pictures and data are extra points. I am finishing drafting this presentation tomorrow night PDT -- so you...

Oh have faith, there are more everyday!! Remember, there are a lot less Mitsubishi dealers than Nissan/Chevrolet/BMW. i-MiEVs are in pockets around great dealers -- in Bloomington/Normal, IL you see them everywhere!! My first live sighting was in Seattle Washington -- it was the President of...

If you think i-MiEV understeers -- the ICE i-car pushes worse than a dump truck. It makes i-MiEV seem like a sports car!! But they race ICE i-cars in Japan so aftermarket products are available for EUR and J-spec i-MiEVs..... Does anyone know about larger sway bars for NA i-MiEV? The EUR and...

The "safety police" do not allow it to be turned off or changed. In fact, the US Government is preparing exacting specifications for volume, frequency and tone.....another waste of my tax dollars!!

After lots of delays, the CHAdeMO DC Quickcharger at the Bella Vista Road/Davis Street: (Near Sonic), Vacaville is installed. On March 8th at 10A, The City of Vacaville, Mitsubishi Motors, The CHAdeMO Association, Eaton Corporation, PG&E and the California Air Resources Board will formally...

iDriver -- Nice!! I too think the stereo is more effective. The AVAS is the electric hum you hear at low speeds. Its very noticeable if you have driven other i-MiEVs without the system -- they are nearly silent.

17135 miles as on today. I was spending $450/month on gas. Now, because I have an i-MiEV, the utility put me on a EV rate. My electric cost (with i-MiEV) has gone DOWN $50/month. So, monthly net fuel savings -- $500. And, I used to use a tollway to avoid traffic -- now, HOV lane baby...

Haven't you seen the 2014MY Outlander PHEV? On sale in Europe and Japan -- coming to the US in 4th QTR 2103. AWD, super clean gasoline "range extender", proven electric drive/battery system... Question answered? ;)

If you are really concerned (I am not), avoid charging your Li-ion batteries to 100% SOC. The primary failure condition of Li-ion batteries is time at 100% SOC. Avoid storing a Li-ion battery at 100% SOC and it will improve (statistically) the durability. BTW, 6.6kW L2 requires a new on board...

If you want MiEV Powerbox for i-MiEV, let Mitsubishi know.... The big problem with constructing your own -- CHAdeMO style protocol to convince ECU to allow power to flow from battery to port. Good luck with that! Email to Mitsubishi is much easier and more likely to be successful.

Hi, I found my people! Just as Leaf went through, some people ordered and then changed their minds. I guess the dealers are working to verify the sales as "real". When my i arrived, the dealer called me daily to take delivery - I was on a business trip and drove them crazy! If you are ready...
