Great condition. White. $6,000

i heard that it is impossible to charge to 100%. The i-miev is engineered to actually charge the batteries to abotu 80% even when the meter says 100%, as a way to prolong battery life.

I heard that quick DC charging is the worst for the battery. But what about these slower methods?

I finally found a smart tire guy who took the tire off and pounded the wheel into a better shape. It's been 6 months and no air leakage!

UPDATE: I took the car to a tire guy. He took the tire off and using a heavy hammer he banged the wheel into better roundness. Since then (over a month ago) the tire has held the air. He didn't even charge me anything. Amazing.

the civic gets driven the most.

I have 3 cars in my driveway. My miev, a prius hybrid and a civic gas car. I noticed that a family of raccoons regularly like to hang out underneath the miev, but never under the other two cars. It doesn't matter where i position the cars, the raccoons always choose the miev to hang out under...

When getting low on bars resist the temptation to get to your destination in a hurry. Instead, remember that the slower you go the farther you will go. The i-miev gets the most mpge at around 20 mph. Yeah, it seems like a crawl but it may get you back home where otherwise you're in the middle of...

steel wheels

I bought the Miev used, so i wasn't involved in the incident, but at one point the wheel hit something and now it is a bit deformed. The car drives well except at high speed and then it just doesn't sound real smooth, although it handles fine. Also, I seem to have to fill the tire up with air...

Has anyone tried to throw it into park while moving? Maybe the Miev is smart enough to not engage it until the car comes to a stop.

I want to throw it into neutral while driving but I'm afraid i could overshoot and throw it into reverse or park. Is this possible?

How much do alloy wheels help?

I'm going with no hubcaps. I sorta like the black wheels, they have a certain jennis say quah, like the torn jeans so popular with the youth set. Plus, I will probably get better mpge because of the lighter weight. Regular hubcaps have holes in them which create turbulence. I suppose that the...

MYTH: Loud pipes save lives This myth is originated in the very biking world and is has a lot of supporters among both riders and custom aftermarket exhaust pipes manufacturers. Basically, those who claim that loud pipes save lives assume that the louder the noise a motorcycle makes on the...

I'm surprised that conservatives in America are not into conservation. Why don't they want to conserve oil and coal for future generation? There is only a finite amount of that stuff whereas wind and sun is infinite (ok they will last as long as the sun burns, which is 5 billion more years vs 50...

I know I will get better mpge if I remove my hubcaps, but how much better is the question. Anyone try this or is there an engineering equation I can use?

Well, I think he didn't like a non-charging spot being taken up by an electric car to be used to charge the car. Look, anyone who's unplugging someone's car without their permission is a bit odd anyway. For a little while I was secretly hoping he was going to cut the charging wire with a set...

The uni-unplugger has stopped unplugging my miev. Here is what i think happened. There are what appears to be two charging spots, but in actuality there is only one spot. I was parking what looks like a charging spot but technically it isn't a charging spot, it just looks like one because the...

My miev is powered by electrons for sure. The solar panels were made by Trina Solar, headquartered in China. So you could say the miev is powered by chinese electrons or..... You could say the miev is powered by electrons from the sun, which the last time I looked was owned by nobody. I'm sure...
