I'm clearing out the garage and noticed I have an extra rear tire from my iMiev I sold. The tire came off last year after about 22k miles, see more details on this CL posting. We're in Central PA. http://lancaster.craigslist.org/wto/6309059932.html I guess it's another $40 to ship it, if...

We went camping in our iMiev the past two summers, and it works out pretty well. My son decided to sleep in the car on one of the nights (the ground, despite sleeping bag padding, was a bit too hard for him). He just slept in the passenger seat reclined as far back as possible. It was more...

Hi PV1 ... will probably lurk, I do love this quirky car and could see myself getting one in the future, even if just a "project" car to mess around with. Our Cmax is the standard hybrid. We had considered the Energi for the plug-in capabilities, but the trunk intrusion for cargo and higher...

We traded in our iMiev for a CMax ... life changes sometimes :(. We loved the car dearly. It now has 33k on it, but didn't show any degradation in range (used QC maybe 10 times over the almost 4 years), new tires just recently (my wife dinged a curb ... and we hadn't decided at that point to...

We have now roughly 30k miles on our 2012 iMiev, and we've not noticed any degradation in range or other issues with the car. We have several iMievs near us for sale, all around $8k, and low (less than 10k) miles. So, I wouldn't pay more than that for one with 18k miles on it, especially if...

Awesome ... thanks for sharing. Like last year, we just finished a trip last week of about 150 miles one way with some not so well spaced out QCs (one at about 40 miles and another at 120 miles) ... so we had to stop at a campground at just L2 speed for a few hours each way. But, it was fun...

I drove the i3 last week as well for the first time. It was nearly exactly what I was expecting ... a bit more get up and go than the iMiev, more crisp handling, nicer finish, quieter - fewer rattles or random pump noises, smoother, and ~ $20k more :lol: ! I do like the additional range and...

I have a 120v at work too without EVSE, but use my conversion for which I have a short 4ft standard extension cord plug that I use. Anytime I steal my wife's iMiev and want to charge, it's sort of a hassle dragging it out - and a major pain if it's cold or rainy. So, just something to think...

I didn't see if you will try to by new or used. If you're considering a new iMiev (2014 or 2016) it comes standard with a 120v EVSE that charges faster than the older 2012 model. The old model charges only at 8amps. The new one can do that (for older/smaller capacity circuits) or at 12amps...

I have thought this is the only sensible response, since I hear SUV drivers constantly gripe about gas prices and how bad their gas mileage is. A few ideas: "I'm compensating for my large brain." "I save at the bank - I don't have to drive one." "You didn't HEAR me coming, did you?" "I save...

I was driving the iMiev to my daughter's soccer tournament today, and heard someone ('cause you can hear people talking while driving it :) ) say, "Oh, that car's like a golf cart" or something. And, I freaking just wanted to drive over the ignoramus! :evil: Or, at least take him for a ride...

:lol: My son (13) also didn't like them at first, but has since jettisoned the cushion we got to placate him. He now loves the iMiev. Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but he definitely likes it better than walking, or riding in the Leopard. howieb: Congrats on the iMiev, I...

My dream. Not to mow, that is. As the summer progresses, the trees I've planted (25 or so on 1/2 acre!) tend to shade the grass quite a bit, so I can go a couple weeks without mowing. I'd love to go au naturel, but I suspect I may get complaints from my neighbors/the town.

Three years ago I converted my gas mower to run on 48v of lithium batteries (20ah cells from Elite Power Solutions) with a motor from Johnson Electric (for a Toro, maybe?). It worked ok, but was heavy and a little underpowered. I also have a Neuton 14" that I stuck 24v of Headway's into - wow...

The dealer near me still has their used iMiev ES (no QC & 21k miles) for $14,963! I just think, nobody at that dealership really cares if that car sells. Thankfully the service department there has been really good about doing warranty work , even though we bought the iMiev from another dealer...

I love that picture! And congratulations on an awesome deal. The iMiev is so skinny it can go places other cars only dream of. But, it doesn't feel cramped inside to do it.

The climb wasn't too bad, especially since I was worried at how much we were loaded down (4 passengers and packed full with camping gear). I probably went a little slower on the steepest part (like 50mph), but that was maybe about 10 miles of it from Buttonwood to State College. It's sad to...

We took this trip last year to Hyner Run State Park North of State College. Ephrata to Hyner Run We actually made a short stop in Lock Haven (a person I found on PlugShare) on the way up, but on the way back we didn't need too. I used 14-50 plugs (on my Clipper Creek L2 EVSE) at the campsites...

Awesome, thanks for that. For the three near me two are SEs with no QC (but the alloy wheels, fog lights, and leather trim ... something else maybe - oh, better radio, but no nav/backup camera), and the third is an ES with QC. So, that's a great link to use in getting original installed...

I agree that prices will come down more, these things are not moving because nobody knows about the car, and they're not quite cheap enough for a really frugal tinkerer to buy one. But, I don't think the SE's will sell faster, necessarily. I see three near me, two are SEs (based on the alloy...
