Just returned from my 1,193 mile I-Miev trip, 1,193 miles....9 days. Amazing car. Observations: Chargepoint has some upgrading to do. Only 60% reliability. Non networked chargers are awesome! EVGO ROCKS! Rockford, IL to Chicago to La Porte...

When I first obtained my new 2012 I-Miev in 2014, I decided to check the range by Charging empty to full for 10 straight times, and taking an average of the 10 charges RR for a sample range. I came up with an average of 67 RR. Well, here it is, 4 years later, and I decided to do it again. I...

Did anyone get a similar letter? I received this from a nearby Mitsubishi dealership. It has an altered US Treasury LOGO on the upper right hand side. If one reads closely it actually says MMNA Department of the Treasury 2009. It reads like part of the old TARP program, and even references...

Imagine my surprise when I was driving on Windsor Road in Loves Park, IL last Friday afternoon at 2PM when I encountered another white iMiev traveling the opposite direction. This is only the second one I have EVER seen here in Far Northern Illinois...didn't get a license number or notice who...

Today I received a phone call from our local Chevy dealer ... I was on their list to test drive a Bolt.... We arrived there at 2:30, and of course received the standard dealership aloofness we have grown accustomed ro. They took us to the one Bolt they had on stock ($43,000-Premium model) The...

After researching this forum i am a bit confused as which tire is best for replacement of my OEM dunlops. I come up on a search with the Dunlops, Yokohamas, and, weirdly, Nankang which seem to have the best reviews. At 31,000 miles and after my long trip i need to find suitable replacements at...

Hello everyone! We are establishing this topic to chronicle our imiev trip down the entire length of Route 66. It appears we are the first to drive the entire route in an imiev. We just wanted to thank everyone for the comments and suggestions on our previous "get your kicks on route 66" thread...

Hi all... Took my car in to a dealership for a pre-route 66 checkup. They tried to sell me a 'annual battery calibration check.' $130.00. Really? I checked my maintenance manual that came with the car and I can't seem to find this. I called them back and asked them where this was in the manual...

I have noted some posts where the seat heater failed. Mine just did. I have had the car almost 3 years, white 2012 premium package, bought 'new' in 2014. I am curious...How many years/miles have those with a serious experience? Fortunately it's still under warranty so on Tuesday a 52 mile drive...

Well, first frost here in Rockford IL. RRs are dropping from 80+ to mid to high 60s RR. Not as much regen. Temps 37-39 outside. Grrrr

Well this is a bit weird. 2012 SE, premium package....no problems whatsoever. Detailing plastic under the dashboard, And the steering linkage from the steering wheel straight down to where it goes through the floor/firewall appears to be covered in a thin coating of surface rust. Yep. rust...

Hi all.. In March my imiev will be mine for 2 years! The wrench symbol says I have a service in 5 months (March). I called Biggers Mitsubishi in Elgin and they quoted about $200 for the service. Seriously? The first one was $226. And that one included a battery test. This one doesn't. Is this...

I just sold my OTHER EV. Our Kandi Coco Kd08e Just got tired of looking at it in the driveway. Our i-miev is so reliable and fun the other was just sitting there...never used it hardly. 'Twas sad, though, Kandi was our first EV...sort of like getting rid of an old friend.

First encounter: 2 level 2 chargers at Nicholas Conservatory here in Rockford. One is broke. Guess who is using the one that's working, even with a free Supercharger nearby? Second encounter: CVS drugstore near our house, we are parked in the HC spot closest to the door as my wife is disabled...

Our I-miev has been perfect except for one thing. The right front armrest(passenger) keeps peeling and deteriorating. Only that one. The others never peel or crack...Never! About 10 months ago we went to Anderson Mitsubishi in Rockford and they replaced it under warranty. No problem, great...

Amazing again. An overnight to and all around the Milwaukee Wisconsin area from our home here in Rockford IL and back again. All charging was free, except for what we charged overnight before we left home. 268 miles. And believe it or not our battery survived. Go figure. Oh yes, fuel cost total...

Has anyone driven all of or a significant part of Route 66 yet in their i-Miev? Just curious.

Finally did it. Drove to Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Saturday morning. Charged enroute in Elkhorn, WI. Used the GMR quickcharger in Milwaukee twice, and the AAA Chargepoint L2 Charger in Milwaukee once to top up. Then, drove to Johnson Creek, WI and used my Blink card for the first time on L2 at...

Did my taxes today. All went well until I tried to e-file. it wouldn't let me, and said the 2012 Imiev doesn't qualify for the $7500 credit. I went to the IRS website, and it very clearly says the 2012 Does qualify. So I printed and will mail the return instead. A bit worried...

just passed 5000 miles....AND in the mail was the recall notice for the brake vacuum pump/rust improvement undercarriage treatment. sheesh! On the same day! my dealer is 180 miles away. Yikes.
