Mitsubishi Motors i MiEV

[vfx]

I wonder what CD it has.

The best of Wendy Carlos?






Have to admit the interior is kinda neat.

 

[TEG]

Yeah, yeah... Coefficient of Drag...

There were auctions in NZ for test drives.

Drive a 100% Electric Car! for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

Have a read of the Q&A section.

BTW, if you want to convert that to $US just half it. $1NZ = $0.50US

I kinda like the Sport and there's a chance something similar to that might reach the market but the other i MiEV is the one that will most likely make it to America showrooms first. It's pretty much like the i MiEV we've been looking at the past couple of years with the steering wheel on the proper side and a cute injection in the fascia.

I dunno about the golf ball on the antenna. Makes me want to grab my driver and let it rip.

AUD$30,000 ~= USD$20,000 ~= GBP 14,000

(Good price point)

Just had a chat with EVnut Darell Dickey. Yesterday he got a chance to drive the i MiEV and shared lots of interesting details. He seemed to really like it and will post to his website about it soon, so I won't bother passing on 2nd hand info.

 

[TEG]

Where did you run into Darell?

 

[doug]

Well here are some pics now, he'll add descriptions later. iMiEV

This plug is apparently 110/220V but is limited to 9 Amps.

A bunch of iMIEV tests by everyday people:

Kiwis love test driving the iMiEV [w/VIDEOS]

Darell ("EVnut") added descriptions now.

Hey Guys -

Finally signed up here. Yeah, I got the iMiEV mostly done. I have also finished my drive video (I took it from the back seat after my turn at the wheel). But I can't get it to upload to YouTube for some reason! I'll post here when I finally get it to work. Though after seeing all the great stuff here, it won't add much to the discussion.

I really do think this is a fine vehicle. And for those who say the acceleration is not good enough... well, all I can say is that if this car excells at anything, it is being "good enough." It is the ultimate commute weapon.

 

[doug]

Welcome Darell and thanks for joining us. Looking forward to your video.

 

[dpeilow]

Hey Darell, welcome. I previously enjoyed looking through your site - nice to see you over here now too.

 

[EVnut]

Thanks guys. I should have come over long ago... but you know how it is. I'm already the administrator for all of the main production EV lists (by that I mean production BEFORE the Roadster!) and all the other stuff starts to spread me kinda thin!

I just need to figure out why my signature won't show up, and I'm off to the races.
* EDIT: Sig works... though it isn't quite right yet.

 

[TEG]

By the way, Darell was one of the people that inspired me to get solar panels, and buy the RangerEV (and convert the lights to LED!)

 

[EVnut]

Now... who can tell me why YouTube spends 30 minutes uploading my mpg2 video, only to fail at the last moment with nothing more telling than "an error has occurred." I've tried three times now, and even went back and re-edited the video a bit to resave. It plays perfectly on my computer, just won't upload to YouTube. :sigh:

 

[TEG]

I had some problems of that sort a while back and it turned out to be incompatible audio codec. I think I ended up re-encoding things to mpeg4 video, mp3 audio for smaller filesize (to speed uploading) and to make Youtube accept it.
