That's a very expensive trip!

Re: My experiences with the Zoe

Geeeez, that economy is worse at speed than my little aerodynamic brick of an iMiev.
Shame about the charging issues.

Re: Highway travelling at slower speeds

Having driven in SA, WA Vic and Tas I wouldn't be planning on doing less than 90km/hr on a freeway, expressway or major highway. You may get lucky for a stretch of roadworks at lower speed or behind a grey nomad but generally you need to be able to keep up to speed and take the range penalty into yo...

Re: i3 BEV Gen 1: hill climbing energy investment?

Try playing with Green Race....says 48km including a climb of approx 950m at 65km/hr would use approx 10kW going up for an i3 Even if that's conservative should be fine. Return trip only uses 5kw! An iMiev uses 5 - 6kW to climb 600m out of Adelaide at 85km/hr but that's a nice freeway road....not qu...

In the space of 45 mins yesterday 2 iMievs, a Leaf, an Outlander and 4 Tesla's came and charged. Also swamped with members of the public asking questions. Only got to take pics when the ...

Re: iMiEV - any good?

So it's a MY10 model. No warranty left. Yes, Mitsubishi can perform a battery capacity test - they do this every 2nd year on the capped price servicing and it adds $200 on those years. I'd want to make sure they were going to hand over a printout with some cell voltages for that money....not just a ...

Hi Sally, nice to meet you at the RAC charger today. How long did you end up stopping at Carnaby's Park, assuming you did? Likewise mike. Stopped at a cafe called ‘the crooked carrot” for half hour top up on their outdoor 10amp. They were very nice. I got worried as the highway traffic was too fast...
