I bought my i-MiEV used and it only came with one original key. That wasn't going to be enough, so I took the OEM key to a locksmith and he was able to clone it. I don't remember, but I think it only cost like $50 - $100. ILCO makes the blanks and read/write equipment, and it seems to be pretty commonly available. Check with your locksmith to make sure. The clone has no buttons on it, but it talks to the ignition switch just fine. I like it that way, since I'm apparently one of the 3 people left who actually carries my keys in my pocket t all times. That's a problem with the full-zoot keys/fobs, because getting jumbled in a pocket with stooping, standing, leaning against stuff, etc. gets their buttons pushed and drains the batteries. Turns out unlocking the door manually (gasp!) isn't really the inconvenience some think it is.
