Since
The road to green: Mitsubishi’s innovative EV history
For over forty years, Mitsubishi Motors has been promoting electric vehicles. The time has come. The i-MiEV is
the culmination of our dedication and efforts. After 500,000km of tests on public roads worldwide and over 2,000
i-MiEVs already delivered, the era of electric vehicles has truly arrived.

“Dream”
Mitsubishi’s dream to develop an electric vehicle began in 1966 and the dream
has grown stronger with each passing year. We realise today that the rebirth
of Mitsubishi Motors depends on our ability to pioneer green technologies, and
the i-MiEV is a positive step in the right direction. We’re proving that electric
EV/Powertrain System Engineering Department vehicles are not only possible, but practical and necessary in today’s society.
Development Headquarters i-MiEV is a testament to how far electric vehicles have come and a look at how
Hiroaki Yoshida the world will drive for the next 100 years.

i-MiEV, for a new global atmosphere

The journey has begun to a new world where cars are clean and quiet, and i-MiEV is leading the way. 100%
electric, yet offering surprising power and a smooth, quiet ride, i-MiEV is redefining the way the world drives.
A green, sustainable lifestyle is on the horizon. i-MiEV takes you there.

Juwi Executive Board
The i-MiEV fits perfectly into the juwi concept.
We are aiming to reorganise our car pool with
electric vehicles. The fact that the i-MiEV is the
only electric vehicle, which is produced in series,
shows that Mitsubishi is well ahead of the market
and that it is as eager as juwi to take a stand for
a future with electric vehicles. Moreover, the
i-MiEV is of high quality and comes along with
a good service by Mitsubishi. It has a feasible
range and provides sufficient space. Charged
with electricity coming from renewable energies
it protects our climate, makes driving cheaper
and contributes to shaping our societies towards
sustainability.
“Quietness”
Japan
Comments from elementary school students
At the MMC “Hands-on Lesson Program”
“It seemed like we were floating on air when
riding in it.”
“When it’s this quiet, me and my buddies could
talk a lot even in a low voice.”
“It felt like just like weightlessness when I rode in it.”
“It felt just like I was skating sitting down.”
“The car felt like a ninja-mobile because it didn’t
sway and was so quiet.”
Drive clean and green
You won’t find a tail pipe on the i-MiEV. That’s because it’s 100% electric, so
there are zero emissions released while driving. And that’s good news for the
environment – zero emissions means zero pollution and zero CO2 released into the
earth’s atmosphere. It also means no more trips to the petrol station. Just charge
and go. It’s the greenest way to drive.

Drive smooth and calm
Hear that? It’s the sound of peace and quiet. The i-MiEV features a silent motor
and produces very few vibrations while driving – vibrations are eliminated
completely when at a stop light. Best of all, the cabin even remains quiet during
acceleration, so you and your passengers are assured a pleasurable ride in any
driving condition.

“Performance”
Drive powerful and passionate
Small size doesn’t have to equal small performance. The lightweight, highly
efficient permanent magnet synchronous motor delivers strong and linear
acceleration and surprising passing power with a maximum 180N·m of torque
which is equivalent to a 2-litre vehicle. And thanks to the low centre of gravity, the
i-MiEV has great handling performance.

We have driven our i-MiEV almost 15,000km
in the last 9 months - in the city, on country
roads, and on highways. It is fun to drive, nimble
around town, and is fast enough to feel safe on
COLT (2WD 1.1 litre) motorways. There is plenty of room for my family
of 4 adults. The electric drive is really smooth,
has been very reliable, and is so cheap to run. I

plug it in when I arrive home each evening which
is cleaner, and quicker than stopping at the petrol
station. The car attracts a lot of interest from
passers-by keen to know about its performance
and how it is charged.  The whole family is proud
to be at the forefront of the future of eco-friendly
transport.
Drive efficient and intelligent “Economy”
The i-MiEV is the ideal vehicle for commuters worldwide. Plug the empty i-MiEV
into your household power source and you’ll wake up to a full charge with a 150km
cruising range while you sleep. Furthermore, with the quick-charger system, you
can go from empty to 80% charged in just 30 minutes. It’s fast, efficient and more
economical than a trip to the pump.

I spend a large portion of my day driving around
San Francisco, so testing the i-MiEV was a
particularly exciting opportunity. After using
the i-MiEV for three months, I found that it
fits my daily driving schedule very well. In a
geographically confined city like San Francisco,
it's great not to be burning through a tank of
gas while I sit in traffic! Everyone is curious and
excited when they see the car, and are interested
in Best Buy's involvement with the future of
electric vehicles. Hopefully more people get to
experience the i-MiEV and learn, as I did, that an
electric vehicle can suit their needs perfectly.

All you need to know is right there on the combination meter panel: an easy-to-read
visual display of power consumption and energy recovery status, an energy level gauge
and a cruising range indicator displays the estimate of how far the i-MiEV can be driven.
Meanwhile, the shift selector lets you choose between the D-position for city driving, giving
you standard regenerative braking power, the B-position for downhill driving, giving you
higher regenerative braking power, and the C-position for a comfortable drive while cruising.
