New Electric Car Sent Out By Mitsubishi
Where Do You Live?
Mitsubishi is shipping their new i-MiEv electric car to some select customers.
The rest of the customers will get their hands on the car sometimes in April 2010. The car manufacturer is selling the car for 34,000 euros and are beginning to take orders next month.
The car is fitted out with a 64 hp engine that is fitted in the rear of the car. The engine is powered by a lithium ion battery which gives you a total of 160 kilometres of driving. As for the speed, you should be able to reach 130 kmph using the lithium battery.
Once your battery is flat you will have to pull over for about 7 hours while your battery recharges. However, if you choose to do a quick charge, it charges the battery to 80% in just half an hour.
Although the car is pretty small at only 3.4 metres long and 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, if you really are dedicated to the environment, then you won’t mind paying this sort of cash for a more environmentally friendly car.
No doubt you will be able to get this car by usign a alternative method. 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.
