Mitsubishi plans to start selling the i-MiEV electric vehicle in Japan next year.
On Tuesday, I spent an hour driving the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, an electric vehicle based on its Japan-only i city car. The i is a kei car, a specific classification of cars that is required to be of a certain size and engine displacement.
Yes, Mitsubishi has an electric car.
Yes, it’s supposed to go on sale in 2009 in Japan. Moreover, Mitsubishi is expected to announce on Thursday that it will provide a fleet of EVs to an agency on the West Coast this year.
Unlike most driving events held during the New York auto show, my drive in the i-MiEV was without minder, in the best sense. There was no predetermined route and no one to tell me to take things slow and stay on the straight and smooth highway.
