    Looks like all I-MiEV's sold in the USA through March 2014 are affected by this recall, which involves the brake vacuum pump. This recall just issued in the last few days.

    Value of I-MiEV

    Let me state I have absolutley no intentions of selling my MIEV. However, I am curious as to its private party value. Web sites such as kbb.com and edmunds.com have no info. Does anybody know of a web site that will provide private value of i-MiEV's. Bill Thompson

    Maritz Research Group-Survey

    Took delivery of my MIEV in late July 2012. I received a survey from Maritz yesterday. I dutifully filled out and added some comments about how Mitsubishi is marketing this car , or more properly the lack of marketing. Gave the MIEV good marks. Anybody else receive a satisfaction survey from any...

    BARS STATE OF CHARGE GAUGE

    We all know about the 16 bars. My observation is that I have never seen the bars at a "fractional amount". An example would be to observe the bars at let us say 10.5 bars. I have no devices to actually measure the amount of electricity remaining. Rather I look at the bars and apply JoeS's rule...

    WHAT CAN I DO TO INCREASE SALES OF THE CAR?

    Most of us agree the i-Miev is a great car, but minimal sales detract from it. Does anyone have an e-mail address of a marketing person associated with Mitsubishi, that I can express my concerns? TV ads are non existent here in San Antonio, TX and print ads are nothing.

    COST OF CHARGING WITH A LEVEL 2 CHARGER HYPOTHETICAL

    I am probably showing my ignorance here. My electricity costs ten cents per KW hour. If I use a Level 1 charger (OEM) for five hours it costs me $.50 for electricity. We all know a level 2 charger works faster. So, if I charge for five hours with a Level 2 charger, more electricity is added to...

    Selector Level Position Indicator; Thread # 11

    Page 3-36 of the owner's manual states to use the "N" position only when the MIEV is in a stationary position for an extended period of time while driving, such as in a traffic jam. Assuming the A/C is off, does taking this action reduce electricity consumption, and preserve the RR while...
