Mitsubishi iMiev commercial launch in 2009!
Mitsubishi iMiev EV Debut
The iMiEV is an electric car version of Mitsubishi's i-car, a model on sale in Japan with a small gas engine. Car is similar to some small eco cars for European market- like Smart For Two, Smart For Four, Ford Ka…
Mitsubishi is automotive maker with history (did you know that Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co. made a mass-market car shortly after Ford T - they called it Mitsubishi model A) and well known for technological leadership and it is not suprisingly that all electric car MiEV (acronym for Mitsubishi innovative electric vehicle) is now officially scheduled for mass production and commercial sale in Japan early 2009!
During press days for the 2008 New York auto show, Mitsubishi drove its electric iMiEV up and down the hall, because it could. While gas-powered cars were prohibited from driving in the hall, the iMiEV was allowed to troll by the booths of its automotive competitors.
Japan media is already testing the mature prototypes of car, as can be seen in this video: (read the following pages or this review at bottom)
