Sorry for the big POST but my e-mail to Mark from Jay D. bounced. My
old e-mail address for him must not be current.

It's a small world. I remember you from the EVDL years ago. Yes, I
highly recommend the i-MiEV. It's the little car that can, with more
effective cargo space than most small "SUVs" and has a much
better-engineered battery than Nissan.
My 2012 still yields well over the factory ratings, with an 84-mile
estimate on the excellent Range Remaining gauge just a couple of weeks
ago as I crossed the 61,000 mile mark. The Mitsu RR meter is more
accurate than the LEAF guessometer, but is only based on the most recent
15 miles of driving.
For observing battery health and all other metrics on the car, there is
a great free Android utility called CANIon,

Here's more info about using it than we can EVer hope to digest.

A paid app by the name EVBatMon is iPhone compatible, and it is the best
way to get an accurate capacity rating other than the Mitsubishi MUT-III
tool. CANion does a good job of reporting individual cell voltages and
showing the pack's balance, but consensus has BatMon ahead on measuring
capacity.

You have to be careful which OBD-II adaptor you purchase, as there are
different compatibility lists for CANion and BatMon.
