The much heralded (on this forum) MiEV has finally broken the 40 vehicles sold per month. Hopefully this minicar can break the 50 vehicles next month which would get them above the 1 per state barrier. Yahoo Auto rated it the second biggest flop of the year right behind the Fisker. Thankfully there have been no reported fires.

if by "much heralded" you mean mentioned as a possible good TOAD by one EV Zealot (me), then yeah I guess you are right. :R FWIW, Mitsubishi has sold ~20k units worldwide and has not suffered any problems yet. Unlike the Leaf (wilting batteries), the Tesla (bricking batteries), or the fires of the Fisker and Volt (both hybrids, but still lumped in the conversation by most). It's a good car, though funny looking.

I had to gas up the van twice yesterday, it hurts but it's also a good sign cause it means I was on vacation. :B Back home and into the groove this week, one nice thing about my EV is the heater is electric (dual 1500 Watt elements in place of the original heater core) and they get instantly hot! No waiting for the car to warm up on these 40 degree mornings. :)

With the Volt we just used the electric seats to heat us up. This was effective even at 40 degrees. I did use the heater once and it is immediate. In fact if I ran out of electric the heat from the engine heated the car.

Oh yeah, Merry, merry ................
