Mitsubishi Release New Electric Car to Select Customers
Where Do You Live?
Mitsubishi is shipping their new i-MiEv electric car to some select customers.
The rest of the world will see the release of the car sometime next April. The car maker is going to take orders for the new car at 34,000 euros next month.
The car is fitted with a 64 hp electric engine which is fitted in the back of the car. The lithium ion battery that powers the engine will give you 160 kilometres of go time. As for the speed, you should be able to reach 130 kmph using the lithium battery.
Once you drain your battery power, you will have to wait another 7 hours before going again. However, there is an alternate quick charge method which supposedly charges the battery to 80% in just 30 minutes, not sure why the full charge takes 7 hours then.
Although the car is quite small at only 3.4 metres in length and a tight 2.5 metres in total width, it will still be able to carry 4 people. It also comes with a range of features including air conditioning, an entertainment system, plus sat nav.
At 47,000 dollars (29,000 pounds) the new i-MiEv electric car is definately not the cheapest on the market. However, I suppose if you really do care alot about the environment, then you won’t worry too much about the cost.
If you’re not sure about the cost, no doubt there will be alternate ways to buy this car. By getting a Mitsubishi lease out for this car you often pay less because you don’t buy the entire car. This is the same with any other car maker I must add, whether you want a Chrysler lease or a eco friendly Mitsubishi. Although, when you think that the i-MiEv doesn’t need petrol, it sounds even cheaper to lease.
