| The Mitsubishi i-MiEV (pronounced “i-meev”) is the first all-electric car released into the Australian market. A compact four seater passenger car, in most ways i-MiEV looks and drives just like any other small car, except that it is serenely quiet, with truly surprising acceleration and performance, and it never needs petrol, just plug it into a 240v power outlet at home. With a full charge, the 120km range meets 80%+ of daily commuting requirements in Australian capital cities, but is also extremely well suited to Australian small islands! (although having opportunity to get to the 130kph top speed may be more challenging on some.) And of course, if the car is charged using renewable sources such as solar panels or wind turbines, the i-MiEV is the first car to offer truly zero emissions motoring, helping to preserve the pristine air quality and environment of our islands. All with the added benefit of no fuel transportation costs. |
