$3k is a bargain if only for the motor and charging electronics etc.

I did put an offer down someone must of put a higher offer down

Ah ok, thanks.
How much did you offer for it? They are going for $9k to $11k down here in NSW.

There was an i-miev that that was brought in Darwin recently, if you like to know more of the history of this, let me know as I can give a little more info and the battery situation. Yes I'm interested to hear about the SOH of the battery if you know what percentage of it's driving was done in NT? ...

Lp87 wrote: ↑Thu, 03 Sep 2020, 17:59 battery SOH is at 77%.
The car gives me 52km predicted kms

This doesn't sound right. How many actual km are you getting?

Is there any new information on the battery issue that I should factor into my buying decision? I have read on a Facebook PHEV group that the MY19/20 has a "BMU bug" and there is a fix being rolled out for it. In general, passively cooled batteries like the PHEV are never going to last as long as a...

The accessories I worked on were the Sat-Nav and radio for the vehicle (they were good at the time!) as well as the immobiliser. Ah yes, forgot the sat-nav was specific to the few original Aussie iMiEV. I was surprised when they dropped that sat-nav and keyless for the subsequent model, big step ba...

I agree, sounds too good to be true TBH.

re Doug, I'm interested in the accessories, do you mean iMiEV accessories, as I didn't know there were any?

Scantools? Is there a model number to narrow the search? There is a LX and a MX, more info here - Android (wifi or bluetooth) http://evpositive.com/evbatmon-for-i-miev.html iOS (only wifi) http://evpositive.com/evbatmon-for-i-miev-ios.html I've heard reports that the new Jaycar OBD sadly no longer ...

We recommend Scantools. Easy to get hold of, however sadly they are not cheap.

Not sure how I can test the battery pack before purchase? The guy I know in NSW who purchased a Minicab got the seller (I think he purchased from the importer here in Oz who has brought in quite a few Minicabs) to run EvBatMon on their stock so he could picked the best of the bunch. Not so easy if ...

The latest one I can find is a 2014 with 20-30k on the clock... Are these still likely to get 100km range around town? I'm not a Minicab owner myself however I know 2 owners, one in NSW and another in QLD. I had an iMiEV for 4 years and from that experience and from collecting battery data from my ...

warranty goes with the vehicle....so there’s a possibility of making a claim for another battery. Seems unlikely to me that Mitzu do this willingly, and I’ve learned that I’d need a copy of the old promise that they have since removed evidence of, the ‘no lower than 80% in eight years’. Can anybody...

Any indication on how MMAL are handling the battery degredation - are those with genuine issues getting theirs replaced without too much fuss? MMAL are quite easy to deal with since plenty of owners (led by uTube "unpluggedEV" and teamPHEV) have paved the way, 3 stern emails and about 3 months wait...

Sounds like a PHEV would fit your requirements quite well. Remember this is 10 year old tech, and soon will be superseded by fully electric BEV, just waiting for the price to come down. Is there anything to look out for with a used one? any particular models to avoid or check for issues with? Some A...

Jan 2012 Mitsu iMiEV - energy level gauge at full charge 64km typically - Mitsu Dealer test says 72% traction battery capacity. Wow that's not great, our 2011 had around 87km range when we sold it and it had done 80Kkm. If you like fighting, you could try for a claim under statutory warranty, there...

do you know any website actually collect these data? Users of our App EvBatMon can upload their PHEV SOH/PMC data to our cloud portal to compare with other owners. We now have much more data than the graph below from 2016, but it still gives you an idea - http://evpositive.com/battery-history.html

Our iMiEV has been sold.

I let off the gas going into the turn, no brake. The car nearly instantly swapped ends. I have spun out lots of cars and love drifing, so I know quite well what it feels like. I have never ever seen a car swap ends as fast as the MIEV did. It was completely uncontrollable; the stability control did...

costing $13,000 for a replacement battery pack Is that the price you've seen on insurance receipts, or an educated guess? I'm interested as this is the first price I've seen for a PHEV battery. I've seen a couple of iMiEV pack prices which have varied from $5k (subsidised we suspect) to about $14k ...

The plug was missing because of accidental damage to the underside of the vehicle. This occurred about 3 years ago when I accidentally drove over a low brick wall separating two carparks at different levels. I didn't know the wall was there until I'd clunked over it :-( Hitting anything on the unde...

One example is a PHEV that is less than 4 years old and struggles to travel 30km on a battery charge but when new could do 45km for the same trips. However battery life has been checked and found to have 89% life remaining. Our PHEV has done 44,000km (and over 50% are EV km) and these days we get a...

I just read somewhere that VW chargers were found to contain Cadmium in a relay, so VW recently changed supplier. I wonder if Mitsubishi had the same issue?

That sounds crazy! My 2010 starts and drives just fine with only a copy of the original key. I have only one key fob remote but my wife is able to use my car any time with her plain metal key. Ok, maybe there is something else going on in my iMiEV. Do you have the blue light down near the gearshift...

I'd be tempted if it was in NSW. I have acreage near Gosford, so happy to store a wrecked EV if anyone ever wants to have spare parts for their EV.

You should be able to start the car even with a completely flat key battery, reverse the key and put it back into the fob and it should work as a transponder. Fortunately after playing around for about 5 mins with no success, I decided to slam the key on my knee, as sometimes moving battery termina...
