Hello iMiEV fans! :o Long time no see. Guess what, that little EV is still in service in Czech Republic. :D :D :D Every Summer when I visit my home town, the car is there for me. Now, many things happened over those three years, lets get into it: Since the import, the vehicle was driven by...

Hi Guys, it looks like we are getting off-topic in this forum. Anyway, I have never transitioned from gas powered mower to electric one. I transitioned from corded electric to to Fisker brand reel mower. Now, I don't even need to plug it and it is even quieter vs. electric. Well, there is a...

Roman, this is pretty decent. Was the turtle portion of the trip on flat road or slightly downhill? Stan

The vehicle passed inspection and is good for 2 years.

I have picked up the iMiEV in April 2015 in Poland, transported it on a trailer to Czech Republic. Then, I coordinated with family and local authorities to finally get it adopted a few days ago. I still have to pass the inspection, though. Then, the inspection repeats every 2 years.

Yes, 2013 LEAF and newer got heat pump but only for mid and high trim. The base trim does not have it but there is no liquid heater, it is air heater.

I have got 2015 Leaf and it does not have liquid heater. Furthermore, it has much better insulated cabin vs. iMiEV and perhaps better than first production years Leafs. I would still prefer combustion heater for any EV. Unfortunately, the after market technical execution of this idea is only...

I hope that as the cost of batteries will decrease, it will be effective for manufacturers to throw money into overall thermal management. Solar heating is a good idea in the Winter but we have to bear in mind that the vehicle is meant to be used all year around, including those hot days in the...

Thanks, Don, for sharing the success story. For all, in regards of the turtle, you would take the chance in Summer because in case you have to call for the tow, you do not have to freeze as you wait. In the Winter, you do not want to take the chance UNLESS you have the combustion heater, which...

Just an update on headlight leveling as well as overall modification to meet EU spec. I managed to get headlight leveling switch from eBuy, although it is different Mitsu model and different year. It won't illuminate when the dash lights come on. The resistance values start with ~780 Ohm to...

Don, Thank you for very nice write up. I am endorsing it 100%. For in-factory implementation, I would recommend Mitsubishi to adjust the dh software to provide: 1) driver controlled temperature 2) implement (auto) adjustable power with much lower minimum, somewhere around 500W, 3) eliminate...

Jray, thank you for your offer. I will keep it as an option. I managed to identify pictures and availability of Euro spec headlights on Polish site: http://allegro.pl/mitsubishi-i-miev-i-miev-lampa-lewa-przod-przednia-i5000032477.html...

I need to export US spec iMiEV to Europe and need to have mandatory height adjustable headlights. The leveling unit might be functional even if the headlight is broken after an accident. So, if you have at least the leveling units, I am interested to buy it. Please PM.

Hi Eric, I am interested in your headlight assemblies. Do you still have it? I am also interested in the headlamp leveling switch and as many accompanying wires as possible.

I managed to remove left headlight assembly for closer inspection. A project I ventured into earlier but was not able to complete it. The pinion cable that some of you noticed at the high beam lamp actually extends to the low beam so that when you adjust level of high beam, it will adjust the...

John, Thanks for the photo. I just checked my unit and it looks the same as your. The headlights have the same connectors as the EU iMiEV (A-13 and A-26) but there are no wires for the leveling system coming in (#3, 6, and 9). So, it is pretty bad. I will have to lay down the wires, get the...

I thought this thread would be appropriate for my inquiry. I would like to take my NA iMiEV and export it to Europe, specifically Czech Republic. The more I learn about the process, the more headache I get. There is a number of modifications that have to be performed to meet the EU standards...

Sandange, thank you for sharing your deep cold test with your diesel heated iMiEV. Another proof that the mod is beneficial. I wonder, what was your average speed? From your video it looks like 33.5 km/h, is that right? What range would you get with the electric heater instead of the diesel...
