"So your saying you were driving along monitoring with canion and when canion read 14.5% your car shutdown and wouldn't move?
"Was this one time or several times?
I'm sure others would see this every year also. No one has reported it."
Yes, several times (before it recalculated is capacity). Now it will stop only with less then 5%, most of the times 0,0%."
To stop with 14,5%, like happened to me before, is very rare. I only know another i-MiEV in the all world (and I know many) that can have that behavior. But it should not have the rate of degradation of mine, so I think he will never stop before turtle. To do that, to stop with 14,5% SoC, the car that do that can easily show you a mRR over 170 km. Mine did that, until february, not anymore since it recalculated is capacity.
There are many things that are special in me and my i-MiEV. We touched all the limits possible, most of the times without knowing that we were doing that, otherwise we wouldn't do it, for sure.
The bar extra after the charging. Normal, normal, normal. Why? Simple. From 80,5% of SoC to 80% you lose one bar when driving (14 bars to 13 bars). So 80,5% SoC will be 14 bars. But when charging (in my car and ONLY when charging) the 14 bar will only appear at 84% SoC (the bars appear when charging +4% then they disappear when discharging). So, if you are charging and stop at 82%, you will have only 13 bars. But 82% is 14 bars, so when you start the car, it will show you the 14 bars (not the 13). That´s way most of the times the first bar to charge takes so long.
But interestingly, to recharge in movement (not plugged, just regeneration) it will not need +4% to give you another bar, only +2%. If you have 78% and 13 bars, you need to create 4% SoC to get the 14 bars.
After this, maybe i'm revealing my identity. The Mitsubishi engineer that you all are asking for...
