ASC kicking in at inopportune times when cornering at speed (especially on a rough road surface) can result in a loss of either power or regen accompanied by unexpected noises from the wheels. Mismatched tires can exacerbate this. I usually turn off ASC when engaging in spirited driving.

Sounds plausible. In the US, IIRC all of our 2012 i-MiEVs were recalled by Mitsubishi to replace the vacuum pump.

Negue, if you're talking about V2H (or V2G), we have a number of threads on this forum which discuss this, including referring to Ben Nelson's home-built CHAdeMO connector. https://myimiev.com/threads/is-the-2012-i-miev-chademo-bi-directional.5221/#post-45903 My CAN't bus skills are...

Negue, don't understand the question. CHAdeMO is high voltage dc - are you talking only about the cable? The only CHAdeMO charger that I know about for home use is the Setec unit. I have one, but it was very expensive, had high shipping cost, and in the US had import duties and state taxes...

@Negue, while I could simply delete your posts, perhaps it would be more informative if you first describe exactly what it is that you had wanted to disconnect and then tell us what you did to accomplish that? We'll all learn from it. If you'd rather have me delete this thread, just post here...

To answer your question: this is an old one - try it at your own risk. https://myimiev.com/threads/backup-power-sources.358/#post-16388 Need to do the math as 1.2kWh of capacity (100Ah 12v battery) in each of those Power Pods isn't going to get too much of a charge into your car. With two of...

@Mr EV Ireland, welcome to the forum. In your neck of the woods we have a very astute active member on this forum (@MickeyS70). Hope he'll chime in. You need something to read the car's error codes and peek inside the car...

Weogo, that's perfect! It's been years since I looked in on OpenEVSE and am impressed by their product line and implementation. Being able to program how many kWh to load into the battery sure works for our i-MiEV or any car which cannot preset the maximum charge level.

Here is a bluetooth-connected recording 12v battery monitor that is excellent for measuring and tracking our 12v battery. Unlike other relatively-inexpensive instruments, this one has proven to be quite accurate. I use it with an iPhone. I learned about it on the Kona Electric forum where that...

RV parks typically have NEMA 14-50 so I would indeed fit a NEMA 14-50P onto the EVSE. For longer trips I would also get a Tesla --> J1772 adapter as many places have installed Tesla HPWC (High Power Wall Connector) stations, so you won't even need your portable EVSE. If you are going to...

Is there a list of all the OBC Part Numbers identifying their applicability? I purchased three allegedly brand-new OBCs from a third party and all that works is the 12v dc-dc but there appears to be a 'failure to communicate' to handle the J1772 input.

Coulomb, thank you for this and your point is well taken. I get the science and am not concerned about the cheap timer's contacts; however, once inside the OBC I thought that the rectified input filter network had large enough capacitors (800µF 450vdc?) to ameliorate the sudden disconnect surge...

Blackbelt, a Range Remaining of 63 miles is a tribute to your wife's featherfooting (especially in winter) as nowadays that is a very good number for a 2012 i-MiEV with original batteries. For years we charged our cars using an Intermatic timer...

This topic has been beat to death on virtually every BEV forum, and we've had a fair number of discussions ourselves. Best to ignore the early postings. Yes, every manufacturer has their own version of a safety margin at both the top and bottom end. In the case of our i-MiEV, at the top end...

Sławek, thank you for pointing this out as I don't recall that gear ratios were ever discussed on this forum before. Also, did not realize that the newer i-MiEV has a higher torque. I do not have an answer to your question. For myself and our two 2012 SE, I would not wish a higher ratio as the...

Fantastic! Indeed, quite a rarity. Gotcha beat for BEV home decorating... Oops, sorry, off-topic (not i-MiEV):)

@georgetheboat, welcome to the forum. Just like electric cars, IMO electric boats are the future. Your range is still excellent - I take it that your iOn is newer than 2012 as that indicates LEV50N cells? Our i-MiEV stock 12v battery is ideally 33Ah, and I just slap a float charger on any of my...

@martinwinlow, I enjoy your website and thank you for providing the tables. Yes, I forgot to mention the cabin air filter - although I've replaced it in the past, I now just blast it clean with some compressed air and put it back. I check the brake fluid with test strips and, to date, have not...

@cuthbertdavies, welcome to the forum. Maintenance, what's that? Things like checking fluid levels (under the hood and under the rear lid), tire pressure, and windshield wiper blade condition you can do yourself. Whenever you get your tires replaced you can ask the tire shop to check your...
