Part 1 of the diagnosis and repair of the Mitsubishi i-miev, Peugeot Ion , Citreon C-Zero, DC to DC converter failure, this seams to be a known issue with these vehicles, and can cost many thousands of dollars to replace, but with some basic mechanical skills, and some soldering of new parts, we managed to repair ours for just $20. the cost of 2 capacitors, and a fuse from Mitsubishi, the fuse was $15.
Part 2 when i recover the footage will cover the actual replacement of the capacitors.
When this fails, the car will fail to charge from AC power, though it will still drive and operate normally, only showing 2 errors on the instruments, 1 of the High voltage system, and the 12 volt system. i believe you can still charge from DC via the Chademo port, though i did not try this.
