    My winter driving range has dropped a lot!

    I can only give you my own personal estimates based on my 2012 imiev that I have owned for 4 years or so. In cold weather, I lose at least 10% of range. No snow, no heat, no snow tires,... just the same driving. The batteries just lose range, which comes back in the spring. If I use the heat...

    What to do with my dead iMiEV?

    I think I may have test drove that car. My house is nearby and also got filled with the Atlantic Ocean. I decided to go to another dealer in NJ and got a raspberry, which I still love driving.

    12 Volt battery is failing, I'm looking for replacement

    I recently had to get a new 12 volt for my 6 year old prius. No local parts stores had it in stock. They all wanted to order me a Yellow top battery which was indicated on their computers. They wanted about $75 more than I was able to get it for online. The dealer wanted something like $400...

    Arguments in Favor of Electric Vehicles

    I think the reasons EVs haven't taken over the world are there and they are valid....Not everyone has a place to park where charging is available. Some folks need to drive more than 50-75 miles at a clip. Some don't have $75K to buy a Tesla. Some folks need to tow, haul, etc. Don't get me...

    Replacing Filament Running Lights With LED Bulbs

    So....has anyone figured out how many extra miles they get per charge, assuming they use their headlights 20% of the time? Or are we doing this just because it's COOL?

    How long will it be before electric cars will be the norm

    Or. ... Gas Station owners could make a small investment and gradually install a few fast chargers. They would sell more Big Slurpees, cigarettes, and Lotto tickets. Voila. Instant ev charging network., in convenient locations.

    Passenger heated seats

    I don't love the seat heater myself. I find my butt gets too hot by the time it cycles off. My problem is my feet. I wish the floor mat got warm under my feet.

    Dunlop Availability / Price

    I just replaced my two fronts with Dunlops for about $340 instaled. it took about 5 days for the tires to come in though. Very unusual to wait more than a day for delivery of any tire in my area. I just went to my local mechanic.

    A/C Issue.

    Lol. Not to make light of your plight, but I too share your pain. I am trying to sell mine after three years and am only being offered $4,000 by a dealer. Maybe I can sell it to you for parts. Lol.

    2012 for sale`

    Due to a change in my housing and commuting, I need to upgrade to a longer range vehicle. I hate to sell it as it is a fine "around-town" commuter car. It has just over 18K miles. I just had new front tires installed. Except for a few bumper scratches, the car is in fine shape. It is a...

    Airbag Warning Light

    I don't recall if I got back to the group about my air bag light situation. I finally had it fixed by the dealer under warranty. First they thought it was a bad sensor for the driver's side rear....but replacing that sensor didn't solve the problem. They had to replace the whole computer...

    Recent repairs. ...

    Well, the work is done already...and my color is Raspberry. Also while the mirror looks the same, the mount looks different. I took back my old one from the dealer. the glass and the motor are still good. The colored shell was crushed and the mount was rendered unuseable.

    Recent repairs. ...

    Firstly, my wife got a little close to a bus a few weeks ago and the passenger side mirror got ripped off. Mirror from the dealer was $425. Labor was $75. I had no luck finding a new mirror online. Didn't want to waste time looking at junk yards. C'est la vie. Secondly, in an unrelated...

    How to tell if used iMiEV has Cold Weather Package?

    I'm fairly certain that if you have Chademo or level 3 charging, you automatically have it...but I would ask a dealer with the VIN.

    Right side mirror

    My wife got a little too close to a bus today and broke off the passenger side mirror. Any suggestions where to get one?...other than the dealer? Thanks.

    considering a imiev

    I'll say, probably not. If you need to use a lot of heat, de-icing, 40 miles is your upper limit. How about getting stuck in a traffic jam with the heart runninng? You would need to charge at work. Also, with no ice vehicle, you would be limited to short trips. I would strongly...
