EDIT: AAAAAAND I'm an idiot. I'm pretty sure I ran this morning's test in emulation mode. I thought those figures looked familiar! :? EDIT EDIT: Yep, emulation mode. Checked my stats again and they haven't changed one bit. -------- We're well into winter temps now, with sub-zero readings...

@Phximiev - as the car's third owner I'm pretty sure my warranty rights are zero. I don't have a contract with Mitsubishi, and I think I've seen other comments on the site that Mitsubishi avoided making the same sorts of claims about battery life in Australia that it made in other...

The OBD2 connector finally arrived. EVBatMon is a bit glitchy but it was enough for me to get the battery details. Comparison with the historical data above: February 2015 - cells 4.055v, actual capacity 86% (41Ah?) August 2016 - cells 4.010v (five cells at 4.005v), 35.8Ah (74.5%) June 2017 -...

Thanks JoeS. I don't think I'm actually getting 50km out of that second half of the charge - the first half is gone in 35-40km and I suspect the second would be too. I'm ok with that given most of my driving is 80-100km/h with little stopping or slowing down. It should get better in warmer...

It was about 12oC / 54oF - middle of the day. I generally keep the car in B mode. It had been parked for 4 hours, after which I drove about 6km / 4 miles to the charger, mostly at 60-70kmh / 40-45mph over level ground in light traffic. I'm a pretty conservative driver so tend to go easy on...

Has anybody had a CHAdeMO charge affect their overall range? I used a public level 3 'rapid' CHAdeMO charger yesterday for the first time with my 2010 I-MiEV. The network provider reckons it'll take an I-MiEV from empty to 80% charge in 15 minutes (see How long will it take to charge my car?)...

Should make for some interesting energy conversion calculations. 'It gets about three miles per cheeseburger.' Creators of 'poo-powered car' hope to leave mark on the world

I hope it works with this particular inexpensive ELM327 adapter, coz that's what the EVBatMon site said to get! Thanks for the tip on one hour per three bars - I'll give that a go.

Hi I picked up a 2010 i-MiEV about a month ago. I recently moved offices - my old one was about 5.5km from home, while the new one is about 16km away. Not a huge difference in distance but it meant switching from my wife going five minutes out of her way to drop me off when doing the school...
