It's been a month of so since I last posted here: a busy time of the year for me. Wow! I like the revamped look of the My i-MiEV Forum! Anyway, here's why I'm posting today . . . I'm contemplating the purchase of a small pure sign wave inverter: something I can plug into the car's cigarette...

Hi folks . . . Here's another interesting electric car that might or might not ever come to fruition. It's called the Sono Scion. No, not the Japanese film director (I'm not familiar with his work, but when I typed."sono sion" into Google, it flipped the order of the words and he was the...

A couple of months ago, I saw a student at my University of Arizona workplace tooling around on one of these . . . https://onewheel.com/ This is a step beyond a conventional multi-wheel electric skateboard and a big advance over the cheap side-by-side 2-wheeled "hoverboards" that seemed to...

This item in today's news: The Takata air bag recall, the "largest and most complex safety recall in U.S. history" according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA,) is expanding. Four automakers - Fiat/Chrysler, Toyota, Volkswagen and Mitsubishi - are, according to a...

I was watching Saturday Night Live this past weekend. For those of you located outside of the US, this is a popular comedy television show that is well known for parodies of TV commercials. One of the segments took a good-natured poke at electric car technology, with the program's guest host...

I was looking through online Tesla 3 news this morning when I came across a Forbes article, titled "Why wait for the Tesla 3? Here are the affordable electric cars you can buy right now." It's one of those items where you have to click through 3 pages to get the whole story and I first assumed...

Here are some shots taken earlier today (Saturday, April 2, 2016) at Biosphere 2 in Oracle, Arizona. It's a 35 mile drive from midtown Tucson to the science research facility, which is owned and managed by the University of Arizona . . . http://biosphere2.org/ Members of the Tucson Electric...

Hi all . . . Giving more thought than I probably should about i-MiEV tires (noting that absolutely anything will work on the North American version of the car, so long as it's the bone stock Dunlop Enasaves,) one has to wonder what we'll want to put on our jellybeans someday in the future...

Hi everyone . . . One of my fellow members in the Tucson Electric Vehicle Association (TEVA) came up with a T-shirt design for our club to sell and we hope to promote it wide and far. Nothing i-MiEV specific here (give me some time and I might have something along those lines later this year)...

Hi all . . . With all the news of the parent North America company seemingly in retreat nationwide (ie: Normal, Illinois, factory closing this past year, etc.,) I was pleasantly surprised to get an email from a fellow local i-MiEV owner here in Tucson today that one of the large local...

Hi all . . . While looking over i-MiEV news on the web today (December and early January was chocked full of embarrassingly false "The i-MiEV is dead" articles,) I came across a Japanese language item that describes and shows an i-MiEV with fancy paint and even fancier in-wheel motors in the...

Hi all . . . I purposely waited to post this message until the car was actually sitting in my Tucson driveway, but the month-plus-long odyssey of finding a used i-MiEV online in Anaheim, California, and having it flat-bedded home has been completed. I spent most of yesterday driving it around...
