I know this is a long shot, but here goes anyway. I am looking for a hitch for my 2012 SE i-MiEV and I am aware that all manufacturers have discontinued them. Any chance that someone on here bought one and it's still in the box? Or maybe you are selling your i-MiEV and would like to sell the hitch separately. Or perhaps somebody has a suggestion as to an alternative solution. I don't actually want to pull a trailer, I just want to use a hitch-mounted bike rack on the MiEV. Thank you!
 
I'm in the process of making one for my car. I got a used square tube hitch from the junkyard and hacked it up. It will bolt to the rear crash bar on the Miev, which is quite robust. Pics to follow.

Here's a thread with drawings of a small custom hitch:

I consider the TorkLift trailer hitch I bought years ago as the most worthwhile mod to my i-MiEV, despite having to lug that 41# around all the time (when I bought it I naively thought I could install and demount it in minutes). Pity they never came out with an aluminum version - as it is, they probably never amortized their design and tooling costs.
