Well, five flawless years with my SE. Sold it to a friend. Leasing a 2018 Outlander PHEV. It is an amazing value, and I can see what Mitsu learned from the MiEV in it. (The brake lights come on during significant regen braking, for example. ) The PHEV has some overkill in the tech, but I can...

Thanks, jray. I charge Level 1, usually from 5 or 6 bars to 16. I only go to 2 bars and complete cycle about once very 2 months. Your total mileage and RR is enouraging.

jray, do you know how many charge cycles on your original pack? I have 37,000 miles on the 2012, (in service June 2013) and about 1,000 charges. I see no decline in reported range at the dashboard so far. I don't have a dealer battery test recently, but I do have to get it in for the two...

I still have the OEMs at 27,000 mi. Running 42 psi fr/rr. The fronts are basically done, with the wear on the INSIDE. I bought another set of OEMs last fall because I thought they might get hard to find. I will put them on in the next couple of weeks to be ready for winter. Well, sort of...

Well if I could do business with Wal-Mart, that is a good price. It's a good price because they treat employees like I could not. Anyway - the good news is that Americaswheel.com got fronts and rears in for $530 delivered. Should be here Monday. Do I know how Americaswheel treats its...

Ok, thanks. Bad news: the rears are back-ordered nationwide and I can't get them now from onlinetires. Urgh.

Looking at my alloy wheels, I see weights (factory) welded on the inside "flat" surface. It does not appear that the outer rim would accept weights. Has anyone gotten a balance after new tires? How was it done? Does the inside rim take weights?

That delay makes me think that at least inventory is not high or well-distributed. thanks. Quick-Lane (which is inside our Ford dealership) makes a price-match guarantee. I am going to ask them if that includes online prices. Has anyone else bought these Dunlops ahead and stored them? Am I...

Ouch. The price I found looks pretty good....sorry for your loss ;)

Hi All - I want to stick with the OEM Dunlops. I have 21000 miles on the original set, and the wear is very good. I can likely get almost two more years out of these. However, I am nervous about the Enasaves in these sizes remaining available. Onlinetires.com has them for $235 for the front...

A Corvair. Well, a '65 turbo Corsa 4 speed, but a Corvair. Favorite as a young adult was a '47 International KB-2 pickup. (Tip-open windshield!) No heirs here to give the MiEV to, just my own retirement to match the greying of the battery. Thanks, jray, for the list of current pack builders!

I will after 5 yr zero interest be into my MiEV about $16,000. I am already disappointed but not shocked at the resale value. I suppose if I get 8 years and 80-90,000 miles for $16k, with zero value at the end, that is not terrible, but not what I hoped for, either. IF the suspension and...

So all, what ARE we going to do when our batts are done? What makes sense financially, if anything? Is it even remotely possible that MiEV owners could band together to "group buy" some custom order packs from some independent shop?

None of my grades are steep or long enough to get much out of regen without slowing down below 30, which even for me is too slow. I don't mind taking 26 minutes, but that is about as long as I want to take on the road. At .09/kwh, getting deep into the last 5% of efficiency is just about...

I coast and manage hills on my daily commute, and usually consume one bar for the 16.5 miles inbound with a net elevation loss of 1,300 feet. It takes 6 or 7 bars to get home. WHEN THERE IS NO ONE ELSE ON THE ROAD I accelerate gently on the downslopes and coast on the flats and even many...

OK, sorry. I am using the Berkeley hot-rodded OEM charger that can take 240v, but only using it with 120v. My ignorance as to what to call it. More ignorance...didn't mean to waste anyone's time...I had a door open, duh! All is well.

I am using the remote as instructed to pre-heat. It worked several times, but not for the last week. The selector is in Park, I am using Level 2, (120v-12a) not Quickcharge, I try right after starting charging in the garage at 48F so the battery temp should be in a good range. The seat heater...

If I pick up a used Galaxy S2 standalone no service, and the bluetooth adapter, will I be able to get CanIon into it and monitor my MiEV?

I emailed MMNA: Subject: Assurance Of MiEV Battery Availability Greetings, I am a happy owner of a 2012 MiEV. One of my only worries about this car is that given the low sales volume, will I be able to obtain a replacement battery when needed? This will likely be in 2021 or 2022. What...

Thanks for the advice. In 20 years I have driven my road about 11,000 times. 5 deer strikes. This includes one with the deer flying onto the hood from between some trees near the shoulder. (On, Blitzen! :o ) None with the loud truck. I have two deer whistles on the MiEV, and all our...
