New Mitsubishi i-MiEV.
Plug into the future today with i-MIEV
After decades of experimentation, innovation and trials, Mitsubishi Motors are at the forefront of electric vehicle technology. We are proud to provide Australian motorists with the first volume produced electric car, the i-MiEV. This 100% electric vehicle has a vastly reduced effect on our environment, yet demands absolutely no compromise in terms of comfort, convenience or fun. With zero drive-time emissions and a range of 150km’s per charge, the i-MiEV offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional vehicles.
Features
Driving the i-MIEV is quite simply like nothing you have ever driven before
It is both relaxing and exciting in equal measures. There is no noise, just the whisper of rubber and asphalt; there is no vibration as there are in petrol engines; there are no fumes, at least not for you; and progression is silky smooth since you never change gear.Yet here is a car with a tremendous amount of torque right from the start. The i-MiEV boasts plenty of power to get you around town and gives you confidence when it comes to overtaking.Whilst the exterior may look radical, the controls are conventional and so easy to use. Remote central locking, power operated windows and door mirrors, an excellent audio system and plenty of storage areas. To make driving even more enjoyable, the optional satellite navigation system includes Bluetooth® hands free ‘phone kit’, and iPod connection.

Monitor the situation
The combination meter provides several gauges to help you monitor the power situation. This operating system monitors battery performance including the amount of electrical power being supplied or generated. This monitoring is constantly reported back to the driver through the power display.
Driving dynamics
During driving, as soon as the accelerator pedal is released the motor functions as a power generator, converting the i-MiEV’s kinetic energy into electricity to recharge the traction battery; this is known as “regenerative braking” and feels similar to engine braking in petrol or diesel powered car.
Redefining power
Consisting of 88 cells, the i-MiEV’s high-density lithium-ion battery pack offers a fully charged target range of up to 150kms. These batteries have extremely high energy density – meaning they are smaller, but more powerful than before, making them ideal for use in motor vehicles. The i-MiEV is 100% electric, so it produces no drive-time emissions. It’s a simple equation – zero pollution equals zero CO2 released into the earth’s atmosphere.
All electric motor
The i-MiEV’s advanced electric motor requires no conventional transmission. There is no clutch between the motor and gearbox, which makes the design simpler than a conventional internal combustion engine powered vehicle and allows the high level of torque to be transmitted minimising loss through drive train restrictions. The motor is smaller, lighter and more efficient than a petrol engine and generates 49kW of power and 180Nm, delivering instant maximum torque even at low speeds.
