We recently purchased a 2021 Tesla Model Y and now have too many vehicles for our household. So, we will be selling our 2012 i-MiEV SE. This was our very first EV, and we have loved it all these years. I'm just trying to get an understanding of the used EV market, reasonable asking prices, best...

Hey, all! Been awhile since I've posted here. Mostly because I haven't been the primary driver of our i-MiEV (Meepster) for a couple years. My wife has been driving the i while I have been using our Pacifica Hybrid to commute to/from work. Lately, the brakes have been making that...

My wonderful wife surprised me with a new iPhone X yesterday! I was very shocked and happy with this gift. I spent the evening gleefully getting everything set up and transferred over from my old iPhone. Everything was going great with the new phone until I got in my Meepster this morning to...

I have a 2012 iMiEV SE. I bought it in July 2013, and it currently has 43,000 miles on it. Up until this past Sunday, it has charged fully (16 out of 16 kWh bars and around 70 miles +/- of RR) every time I have allowed it to charge until full. The Friday after Thanksgiving, we went on a mini...

Has anyone managed to find a hack to extend the usable range of the remote? Or any method for initiating the pre-cool/heat process without using the remote (e.g. cellular hack, networked EVSE, etc.)? I finally, Finally, FINALLY got my work to install a Chargepoint EVSE. This will be my first...

I'm searching for any kind of app that allows EV owners to easily communicate with each other regarding charging opportunities. More precisely, allowing an EV owner that needs to charge to easily contact another EV owner who is currently charging and asking if it's okay to unplug them to charge...

This past Monday evening, I got a flat on my front driver's side tire. I attempted to use the so-called "tire repair kit" that comes with the iMiEV (rather than an actual spare). The damage was apparently too severe for the repair kit as all it did was leave a giant puddle of sealant on the...

Anyone else having issues with the volume up/down buttons on the steering wheel? I would say probably 1 out of every 3 times I start my Meepster and listen to the radio/Bluetooth device, my volume buttons get all wonky. I have only ever noticed my issues when using my iPhone over the Bluetooth...

I am starting this new thread to discuss a thought I had after reading PV1's post in the "Batteries & Battery Management" forum.. With my next electric billing cycle, I will be switching to my utility's Residential Real-Time Pricing program, which bills your electricity usage by the hour at...

Is there a recommended navigation tool that can be geared more toward driving an EV on the most efficient routes possible? Is there anything like Google Maps that gives you the options to select shortest routes, filter for ranges of speed limits, avoid tollways/highways, etc.? I want to find...

Time for my annual "The Colder Months Draw Nigh" bout of questions. In this round, what I am wondering is if there is any type of solar-powered contraption I can use to minimally (or maximally if possible) heat the interior of my Meepster while it sits outside in the frigid cold for 8 hours...

Hey, all. Been awhile since I've been in the forums here. Figured I'd check in and get caught up on all things iMiEV. I dropped my Meepster off at the dealership after-hours last night for service today. I took it in to have a couple recalls performed. Not exactly sure which recalls they are as...

Driving to work this morning, another driver in the oncoming lane decided to try and turn left in front of me. Despite my best efforts at braking hard and swerving right, I was not able to avoid a collision. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but my Meepster is going to need some TLC. The...

Who has installed roof racks on their iMiev? Ever try hauling anything "exotic"? Say... a 17' 85lb. canoe?!?! :lol:

Hey all. Been awhile since I posted in the iMiEV forums (or even visited the forums). Been preoccupied with various other life distractions. I originally planned to post this under the “PREPARATION FOR COLD SEASONS” thread, but by the time I had gotten to my sixth paragraph, I started feeling...

Moderators please move this thread if it is in the wrong forum. I wasn't sure where I should post these questions. Over the weekend, I installed a TED5000 electricity metering system I purchased from olagon. (Thank you!) I have some questions about how other TED5000 users use their system...

So, when we bought our Meepster back in July this year, we had never seen or driven one before. We ended up buying our i-MiEV sight unseen. And since that day, we STILL had never seen another i-MiEV anywhere, EVER! That is, until this past Thursday night. It was rather serendipitous the way...

Does anyone else get a "clunk" sound when they shift their i-MiEV back into Park after returning from a drive? It doesn't happen all the time for me. I'd guess around 30% of the time. It's pretty loud and obvious. It kind of worries me that something might be wrong with the transmission.

Okay, I noticed something odd about my remote timer. I have been using it pretty consistently the past couple of weeks. When I get home from work, I plug my Meepster in right away and set the remote timer to delay the charging until sometime after 10pm when the electric rates drop. In another...

So, over in this thread (http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1732) Don posted information about the published EPA estimates for our i-MiEVs: City: 126 MPGe / Highway: 99 MPGe = Average: 112 MPGe Also, the calculation for the EPA's estimated "real world" range: 55% City / 45% Highway...
