    Electrify America CHAdeMO Possible Issue

    My OBC level 1 and 2 died and I was at a loss for what to do. We figured out I could still DC quick charge it and that might give me time to try to figure out options. After several weeks while I was doing the 20 mile trip to DCQC I received a recall notice from Mitsubishi that they would fix...

    Need to purchase obc unit for 2012 i-miev

    My dc/dc unit died and I need to find a used unit. Any suggestions of how/where to find one? Our local salvage company says they can't locate one anywhere in the US and our used auto parts place says they won't handle foreign parts.

It sips electricity and for the hour...

    Adapter to use my Clipper Creek 14-50 keeps showing power failure

    A friend who has converted his Saturn Vue to fully electric and has worked as a mechanic at a big three dealership helped me build a converter socket/plug for my Clipper Creek 14-50 charger. The idea was to use the converter to make it possible for my 14-50 to charge at locations with NEMA...

    Any imievDCQC success specifically in Michigan...

    About 1/3 of the time after a five plus hour trip from Kalamazoo to Ann Arbor, I can go to Ann Arbor Nissan and their DC quick charger will be working.

So far I haven't found any owners other than myself participating, let along leading the event. Please tell...

    hard to varying degrees to get my car out of park--

    When I first start my meev up... its been getting progressively harder to get the car out of park and into drive... Once I've driven a while if I stop and turn off the car and later restart it it is not too bad. Anyone else have that problem? Any suggestions on what it could be? B

    Consumers Report: IF it was to report what we like

    Joe, I just read the most excellent rebuttals to Consumer Reports. Thanks for the link to that thread. I wonder if we can write an article about the advantages and what we like about the imiev? Like an imaginary CR article that should have been. I'd like to start a thread on that! Ben In...

    How important is having the DCQC ability...

    I've been told I absolutely MUST have DCQC ability if I plan on driving it across the state What do you owners think? Would it be practical. Couldn't I do it with a portable Level 2 charger almost as practically as a level 3 DCQC? Ben
