Inasmuch as we have forum members from all over the world, it's nice to know where someone is located as sometimes the issues might be i-MiEV region-specific or perhaps someone nearby can help out a fellow i-MiEVer. This post has been updated to reflect the new forum software instituted on 18...

This Post is a placeholder with links to our Technical Reference Articles (Read-Only) which had been located in one subforum prior to the December 2023 website software revision. Bear with us as it will take some time to locate, validate, and include them here. This post is a 'sticky' and for...

I'm afraid that our new forum software has caught us all off-guard. I've asked the Admin to introduce the changeover and discuss the changes and any issues. For example, My first attempt at clicking on a link to another post on this forum was unsuccessful. Looks as though we will now be able...

My neighbor has a 2012 i-MiEV ES with CHAdeMO. Car has 80,000 miles. 12v battery fairly new and good. The main battery is fully charged, but RR=28 at 16 bars. Haven't checked its capacity. A very large branch fell across his driveway and he had his daughter back down to it and he hitched a...

An older lady with an i-MiEV has the fatal OBC/dc-dc failure and her car does not have CHAdeMO. I have an OBC but unfortunately at this point in time I am unable to install it for her. I've loaned her one of my i-MiEVs in the meantime. Looking for someone in the SF Bay Area to swap out the OBC...

In Japan, the i-MiEV became famous after the Fukushima earthquake for providing emergency backup power using its CHAdeMO port, demonstrating that it was bi-directional. Over the years on this forum we've touched upon this subject a number of times, with various links to a small Japanese...

So, we've been driving our i-MiEVs for exactly eleven years and between my wife and myself have put on over 150,000 miles on the i-MiEVs and another 90,000 miles on the Tesla. Never ever failed to get to our destination and not only never ran out of charge but also have never seen 'turtle'. We...

Finally, the collaboration of Nissan and Mitsubishi is producing this nextgen full-electric Kei car which, sadly, we probably won't see in the US as the range using the 20kWh pack will be (ignorantly) criticized despite's the car's suitability for most people's daily needs...

Thought I'd start a new thread regarding the troubleshooting process whereby, after the charging plug is connected and the vehicle attempts to charge but the (perfectly good) charging station shuts down after a few seconds. I just installed a brand-new OBC without a doghouse to replace my...

Looking for complete right-hand mirror assembly, any color. Quite a few years ago I talked my next-door-neighbor into buying a raspberry i-MiEV, which he loves and it has been his primary daily driver ever since. His right-hand mirror assembly has been torn off, thanks to a careless/clueless...

I don't recall this being mentioned before (but my memory may well be fading) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ad_Mjqsl98

As many of us suffered through the terrible (and unwarranted) reviews in the early days by automotive 'experts', it's interesting to find a fair number of articles out there that now wax nostalgic about our i-MiEVs. Here's just one example -...

I've been utilizing my own website as a placeholder for all the photos I've been posting for the last ten years. I'm in the process of migrating my website and domain to another host and the website and thus photos have become temporarily inaccessible. Should have the photos available...

Well, it's now my turn. Long story, sorry - On March 15, six weeks after the expiration of the OBC ten-year warranty on my i-MiEV, the car stopped charging in the middle of an overnight charge well before the Remote programmed to stop around 13 bars. The car now doesn't charge using J1772 but...

A little dated, but cute, and it even mentions our forum - http://driveelectricnoco.org/2018/07/chocolate-meets-evs-in-old-town-fort-collins

I'm starting this new thread in an attempt to solicit inputs to determine what the minimum usable voltage is from our i-MiEV 12v battery. We know when the battery voltage gets too low that the results can be the car simply refusing to start and/or displaying all sorts of random error lights and...

Smartphone or Tablet Applications and OBDII Dongles: http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4936 PC Tools and Software: Mitsubishi: MUT3 (unknown if even available directly from Mitsubishi) Peugeot : Lexia 3 hardware and Diagbox software works with Peugeot iOn, Citroen C-Zero, and...

With this thread, I'd like to try something new: identify all the smartphone diagnostic apps that work with our triplets (Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Citroen C-Zero, and Peugeot iOn) and provide detailed information for each (tech info, platform compatibility, capabilities, limitations, hardware...

Since we almost never put the back seats up, one of my favorite i-MiEV features is its huge (for a car this size) 50+cuft cargo capacity and the perfectly-flat floor where I permanently carry a few immobilized Rubbermade containers. This flat floor was standard on station wagons, which have been...
