Check out this article about taking EVs through a rain slick. They do a nice job of bashing the i-MiEV! I've never had my i-MiEV break loose through all the heavy rain and snow/ice that I've taken it through. I purposely try to lose control and have fun watching the ASC take over and...

I saw my first i-MiEV (besides mine) on the roads of the Niagara Region in St. Catharines, Ontario last night at 5:00 p.m. Geez, I thought I was the only i-MiEV for kilometers around. This was a white one, I had enough time to honk and alert the driver that I too was driving an i-MiEV. I...

I watched this video the other day about the Outlander PHEV. I just discovered that it has 6 steps of REGEN. At the 30 second mark this video mentions the B mode and how to use the paddles to change the REGEN levels. I've been very interested in this vehicle, can't wait for it to come to...

There has been some recent discussion about the gas version of our i-MiEV. I went looking around some of the Japanese autos for sale sites and found a place selling used gassers. I found something interesting when looking at the instrument cluster, not only is it identical to the EV version...

I advertise on PlugShare that I have an outlet and a 240v L2 available. This guy calls me this morning and says he needs a charge, I had no idea he was bringing over a Tesla Model S! This is the first time I've been able to get so close to one and even sit in it. It's a sight to behold for...

...finally, has come to the shores of Buffalo! I thought we were in the dearth of EV public charging since I bought my EV 18 months ago. Last summer, I took my son to the zoo and had to carefully meter out my charge by driving slowly and not using the A/C so that I could make it there and...

I received a flyer today from Hamilton Mitsubishi advertising the i-MiEV for $24,995 with $5000 retail credit and the $8231 EV Government Rebate. It's a bit confusing because the flyer shows the i-MiEV Premium but the price doesn't say what you get for the $24,995. I would assume the base...

http://www.sfgate.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Elon-Musk-s-Dream-Is-Coming-True-Evacuated-Tube-4662391.php Evacuated Tube Transport! Fricking Cool! If Elon Musk is going to take this on next, this could be a reality sooner than later! Can you imagine a world without the need for...

My i-MiEV has been squeek and rattle free for a year now and all of a sudden I'm starting to hear this very clear rattle inside the dash behind the instrument console. I took the driver's side dash apart this weekend and couldn't find a thing in there moving around. I even had the instrumment...

The base model NA I-MiEVs don't come with upholstered door panels like the upgraded models do. I've had my I-MiEV for a year now and been wanting to add those upholstered door panels. I did some research, ordered the materials and installed them this past week. May not be everyone's thing...

I did some updates to my i-MiEV this weekend and needed to remove the motor cover. After taking the cover off, I found salt deposits around the lip. Must have happened during the winter when they sprayed salt on the roads. In Ontario they are using less and less of the stuff but its still...

Our i-MiEV's aren't the only EV to come with a fob: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1084621_price-cuts-work-waiting-lists-for-electric-honda-fit-evs-now Scroll through the article and you'll see a picture of it. Looks a bit larger than our fob.

A good reveiw from Slash Gear. http://www.slashgear.com/mitsubishi-i-miev-review-13273809/ (The guy handing off the car could use a bit of an education on how the car is charged though.)

This time its a five seater: http://steeringnews.com/mitsuoka-mitsubishi-i-miev

We are having another fantastic spring day up here in the Niagara region. I made a video to share the wonders of spring with all of you. :D Enjoy! http://youtu.be/IQUTP9KIcYc

Fun facts about the i-MiEV from Mitsubishi. http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/imiev_numbers/2013/03/the_mitsubishi_i_miev_by_the_numbers.html?wpisrc=slate_embeddedflyout

I know we have talked about lowering our cD number and get the car to be more effecient. Some have talked about adding the AeroTabs to their i-MiEV. I came across these FuelFins on Amazon. They look kind of goofy, but the side profile isn't so bad. I wouldn't put them on the side of my car...

http://www.plugincars.com/e-first-production-electric-car-volkswagen-126686.html Sounds like a copy of the i-MiEV, except I think our i-MiEVs are better looking. We won't see one in North America, though.
