    Do you have a charger remote control you DON'T use much??

    I use the remote control for the charger a lot. I've hopelessly misplaced mine. Really bummed about that and annoyed with myself :oops: :roll: . Getting a new one from Mitsubishi would take 45 days+ and costly. If you'd even consider selling yours I'd offer you an attractive price and much...

    Recent recall for brake vacuum pump. Issue of distant dealership.

    Those of you in the USA probably got this notice. I got it two days ago in standard postal mail. Short version: They believe the original brake vacuum pump can fail from corrosion, leaving the driver with a sudden surprise of having no power brakes. (And that is a shocker.. surprising how hard...

    Why and how to get and program a third key :idea:

    Couple of years ago I lost one of my two original keys for my 2012. Long story short.... It cost a great deal of money and time to have the dealer replace and program a replacement key. Probably close to $400. I did go to local locksmiths who claimed they could do it for less first, but they...

    Power the house with MiEV battery?

    Last I remember couple of years back Mitsubish has an interface to allow the MiEV to seamlessly be used a home backup/emergency power supply. The catches were IIRR it was hideously expensive and not available outside Japan. But recently in a reply to another thread of mine our moderator, JoeS...

    Managing private messages in this forum?

    This is mostly for Joe, our Moderator. But no problem if someone else wants to chime in. I rarely use PM....but usually find is quirky and sometimes can't get it to do what I want. ( for example...II have been trying to send a PM to JoeS* and it isn't apoearing in my Sent folder :x .) It...

    Options for repairs when service is now sparce and distant?

    When we purchased 5 years ago our Mitsu dealer service was 12 miles away. That dealer bailed out of Mitsubishi about 3 years ago. Now our closest is 450 miles one way. Basically unreachable unless trucked there. At the time of the great airbag recall there was a dealer service "only" 200 miles...

    Here's a serious survey wanting experience and opinions from EV owners

    How come D mode consumes more energy on a given load?

    I thought i fully understood the difference betwee D and E, E and B. But one puzzling thing/observation: On a given stretch of road (ssme grade, surface, wind, etc) if I switch from E to D I see the power consumption needle jumps up about, say, 15% . Makes no sense to me as the amount if...

    What's to power to wheels strategy of the Mitsu PHEV?

    I may be looking in the wrong place or just lazy but could not find this. That is, does it, like a Prius, have both the electric motor and ICE driving the wheels thru a mechanical more-or-less-conventional drive train? Or does it (like some others out there, if I have this right) have an...

    What EV would you buy or lease if you were buying today?

    In an other thread i wrote... "...I hate to admit it, but in ONE sense at least it has proven rather expensive to operate: As a buyer rather than leaser, I like other buyers , have taken a huge hit on depreciation." I've seen 2012 MiEVs about same age, milage, condition as mine i got in April...

    Any tips on R&R the cabin air filter?

    After 2.5 years figure it's time to change that filter. (Do note we put only about 5000 miles a year on our MiEV.) Have the filter. Recall from my Toyota it's probably a quirky acess behind the glove box. Any tips, directions, on remove and replace that filter? Alex

    Utilities Dealing with Home Solar

    Pardon me for straying off-topic: Different localities/cultures have different philosophies about dealing with distributed home solar. Some utilities are sort of at least semi-hostile to it and only allowing as much of it as they are forced to. Some legislators and utilities in Nevada wanted to...

    Does anyone here have a "parts" MiEV? I need a tail light.

    Had tiny fender bender today. Only damage driver's side tail light lens. Whole tail light assembly has to be replaced.... lens not available separately. Dealer wants (sit down before reading further) well over $300+ for taillight. Found one wrecker that had one, but wrong side. I recall...

    IIRR there's supposed to be a fix a flat inflator canon the car ...pretty sure a saw it...more try sure it was in the pop open compartment on side of hatchback on passenger side. Near where regular charger plugs in on outside. Is that correct? Or an I looking in the wrong place? Looked in...

    Solutions for windshield fogging in cold weather?

    And I'm sure all of you in cold climates know that unlike regular cars we are hesitant to turn on the heater to drive fogging and even heavvy condensation off the front windshield. Turning on the air conditioning is often quite effective in clearing the window and does use less battery and the...

    iPad app to read from diagnostic OBDII interface?

    My son brought over a bluetook connector that plugs into the OBD diagnostic port on any car that has one and transmitts to any compatible bluetooth enabled device's software. Problem was that the receiving end software on the ipad was clearly interested in an ICE car looking for things such as...

    Survey type questions for those who leased....just curious

    I suppose it might've been better to set up a formal survey, but would be happy to just get off-the-cuff answers. Normally, I'm unenthusiastic about leasing cars, but with EV's and the MiEV leasers might, it turns out do OK. Mostly, as a cash buyer myself, I'm just curious about how the...
