I recently watched this video http://youtu.be/ubDItYYrtZ0 And i thought i would try this on the imiev for comparison sake. I did 4 runs on a 7km mile stretch of the highway 2 at 80 km per hour and 2 at 110 km per hour. I did the runs in both direction to compensate for wind and elevation...

http://imgur.com/a/uJkBL I thought i would start this post with the images and then the explanation afterwards. So long story short the car was not unplugged before starting on our sloping down driveway. Car was put in D no ready light and roll down the driveway and twang..... The stock evse...

Well I guess I was inspired by Martin taking a long loop trip in his imiev every year. So I decided to to a loop around the island of Montreal. Google maps told me it was about 125-130 km, it was difficult to modify the map to the roads I wanted to take to get an exact distance but it was a...

I dont know where these guys are but they sound like they are from Quebec. http://youtu.be/NtrAmnUgo9I Don......

Hello all, Well temps have been well above average this winter in Montreal but it was -18 deg C overnight recently and I did a little test leaving my second car without the Diesel heater outside overnight to coldsoak. For the past 3 years I have been keeping my first iMiev in the garage during...

So while browsing youtube for iMiev videos I came across this video: https://youtu.be/0si6djA7ED0 Not about our car but related to it's older gas cousin and a pretty funny video. Don.......

Well i was cruising the french ev forums in quebec and i found a great idea from user SyCo. http://www.aveq.ca/forums.html He added a conventional remote starter to preheat his car at work. What a great idea. I never thought of that. I always thought it would have been a good idea to have the...

This is the L3 plan for Quebec: https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/danielbedard.cievc0xbb0wi8lem0hkizezms/page.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiZGFuaWVsYmVkYXJkIiwiYSI6ImNpZXZjMHhpdzB4dnE5MW0zcnk5NTM1NHAifQ.9Vfp-XjrPwIN2LwD8AbWFw#9/45.6150/-73.3571 The Green one's are already installed and the orange...

Someone asked for a video demo of the remote control. I was planning to do one and i finally got around to it. Its a little unpolished and too long but you get the drift. Unfortunately canion crapped out during the demo and i didnt realize it right away. When has a demo ever gone right first...

Well when I went in to have the AC looked at I saw 2 new 2016 premium models at the dealer. The technician told me that they would be getting more. It was nice to at least see a couple of new car at the dealers. In 2013 I watched the sales numbers. I was hopeful that they would go up but it...

Well it looks like my ac compressor is dieing. The compressor makes a lot of noise on startup. I need to cycle it a few times to get it running. Then it seems to work normally and it cycles on and off. I brought it in and they confirmed it will be covered by warranty. Its good luck for me...

Well the easter bunny was good to us this year he brought us a big egg. A 2012 SE. White and blue. With very low milage. We don't have a name for it yet but for now its zippy 2. Don....

Hello again, Rather then my usual topic of cold weather I have a question about Daytime running lights. I was wondering if the wiring and the casings for the lights are already on the ES imievs ? Is it just a question of adding the lights and the relay to turn them on or is it more of a major...

Hey all, I've been thinking about the i's range and I got to looking at the lev50 battery spec. With its dimensions it could be replaced with a set or 18650 cells in parallel. Doing some conservative volume calculations I could see 30 of the new Panasonic 3.1 ah cells making a great replacement...

I found this while surfing around. Very interesting. I guess they will have this type of solution available to purchase soon. It would be great to stick one of these in the trunk and use 60 amp evses at almost full power. I guess you could get 80 % in a little over an hour...

I was reading the thread on the seat track extension because I could also use a little more leg room. I have been thinking about the wedge on the floor that is under the left foot. I took up the carpet and found that it's just a piece of Styrofoam. Easy to remove. So I took it out and gained...

Has anyone tried to charge the imiev with this cable ? I think it also requires an F-150..... :D Don http://imgur.com/FHAhxlc

Well canion has really been an eye opener. There are a few things that I have learned. First: I use to think that the OEM L1 EVSE was about 900 watts going into the battery less the charger overhead. But it looks more like it's 500 watts. It also looks like the car overhead is about 300...

Hi there, I found this online http://www.caaquebec.com/DocumentLibrary/UploadedContents/RoadTestAttachment/mitsubishi-i-miev-2012-en_0.pdf They mention a 12 hour 120 Volt charger for 2013. I guess it's the same charger with the amps up at about 15. I hope they offer an upgrade to us 2012...

Not that this would be something that you would want to go out and do on purpose but if you can remember how far and how fast did you go on the turtle ? My experience was a controlled experiment. I drove the car down to --- on the display got the turtle and then continued but only for about 0.5...
