    2012 for sale`

    Due to a change in my housing and commuting, I need to upgrade to a longer range vehicle. I hate to sell it as it is a fine "around-town" commuter car. It has just over 18K miles. I just had new front tires installed. Except for a few bumper scratches, the car is in fine shape. It is a...

    Recent repairs. ...

    Firstly, my wife got a little close to a bus a few weeks ago and the passenger side mirror got ripped off. Mirror from the dealer was $425. Labor was $75. I had no luck finding a new mirror online. Didn't want to waste time looking at junk yards. C'est la vie. Secondly, in an unrelated...

    Right side mirror

    My wife got a little too close to a bus today and broke off the passenger side mirror. Any suggestions where to get one?...other than the dealer? Thanks.

    airbag light reset

    My light came on. Researched it here, but did not take seat out. Does anybody know how to reset it other than bring it to the dealer? Would a scan Guage work?

    Funny noise...

    The other day, I pulled away from my parking spot at the house, and heard a bit of a bang under the right front wheel. And as I let the car continue rolling, I heard a bit of a rubbing sound that repeated rhythmically as the wheels turned. The car had been sitting maybe 24 hours. The bang was...

    Electric buses

    http://start.toshiba.com/news/read/category/Technology/article/earth_tech-electric_bus_trial_starts_in_new_york_ci-ncrd Gotta start somewhere... Also of note, though, NYC has not done well with their hybrid bus fleet that they have been running for several years. Repairs have been high, and...

    Heat...did we reach a conclusion on this?

    I can't seem to find the last thread where we were discussing this, but here goes again... We all know that when turning on the heat, the higher we put the fan speed, the faster the RR goes down. But when adjusting the temp control from green to red, the RR does not change. Does this imply...

    evse prices

    We may have discussed this before...but it may be time to compare prices again. Does anybody but me think that $750 and up for what is basically an oversized laptop charger, is too much money? (I know what your thinking...if your into an EV, don't complain about a measley charger). Any well...

    Hurricane Sandy...gasoline shortage

    Parts of NYC took a terrible hit. I came through it alright with my family, but there is utter devastation around me. Cars floated, homes washed away, floods where there never were before. Very limited cell phone service, massive prolonged power outages. ...and now the gas shortages. Few...

    using the remote climate control

    I tried the search feature...but it seems to work worse than the remote control..haha. If someone can direct me to a discussion on this...?? Anyway, sometimes I can't seem to get the command to enable heat/defrost. My distance to the car is short (less than 25 feet). Car is off, doors...

    My iMiev oddities...start a list

    Of course many would label the whole car odd, but I'm talking about individual things that are quirky... Did you know that if the driver's seatbelt is not in use while driving, the sound of the turn signal goes silent? Anybody else notice this?

    Radio problem solved

    Ive had my I es since may, and shortly after I got it, the radio started acting up. It would just die, along with the clock display, and although the turn signals worked, they became silent. It happened infrequently, but when it did, it would stay out for several hours. I could not relate it...

    percentage charge...

    Does anybody have hard facts on the SOC of our batteries vs. the dashboard indicator? IOW when we show 100% charge, is the battery really at 100% or as some have suggested, it might really be 80% to protect it. And is there a similar protection on the low end? On another forum, it has been...

    radio problem???

    I've had my car about a month, and today, while driving to work, I went to put the radio on and nothing happened. The clock was out too. No amount of pushing buttons would turn it on. I stopped to pick up coffee and turned the car off for a few seconds and turned it back on...still nothing...

    Regen discussion

    Of course I've had mine less than a week, but...does onedrive mode really give more regen than another? Your hear the word more used in many reviews. Or do you just get it faster? And isn't braking with the pedal just as effective as getting your regen from using B mode? If you are...

    charging question

    Basically, the question is: Is it more efficient (i.e. less expensive) to charge at 120 Volts or 220Volts? Mitsubishi literature implies that at 120v, it takes about 22 hours for full charge. At 220V, it takes more like 7 hours, which is only one third as much. Stands to reason that at 220v...

    Rav4 and Honda fit EVs...anybody waiting?

    Have you thought about these two cars? Do you think they compare favorably With the imiev or are worth the wait?

    How will they charge us gasoline tax?

    As EVs gain foothold, and gasoline consumption goes down, as it already has for economic reasons, revenue genrated from the gasoline tax will diminish. How will government "get even"? Right now they are encouraging us to buy EVs but I predict they will need to find another way to tax us.
