Mitsubishi i-MiEV 2012
In America The Mitsubishi i is a subcompact electric car with impressive economy ratings and the lowest price. It is the most efficient automobile on the US market, receiving ratings of 126 MPGe (the electric equivalent of gasoline MPG) on the highway and 99 MPGe in the city.
Range is 62 miles on a single charge, trailing the Nissan Leaf by 11 miles. Mitsubishi claims that the car can achieve a top speed of 81 mph; don’t expect that speed, nor the traditional zero to 60 mph benchmark, to come quickly.
To achieve such impressive numbers, the tiny i uses a 63-horsepower electric motor with a 16-kWh lithium ion batter.
Though the i is a very small vehicle, even more diminutive even than the Toyota Yaris, it still packs a respectable amount of standard features.
Big spenders will opt for the SE Premium package, which lists at $25,280 after the text credit and adds such niceties as a HDD navigation system, rearview camera and FUSE hands-free system with USB and steering-wheel controls.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and a high voltage cut-off system are included on every Mitsubishi i model as standard equipment.
