2012 MITSUBISHI i MiEV: Building on the company's more than 35 years of involvement in advanced electric vehicle development, Mitsubishi Motors highlights the 100% electric-powered “i MiEV” at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. The zero tailpipe emission 2012 "i" will be the first North American production vehicle to be powered by Mitsubishi's innovative Electric Vehicle (MiEV) technology and single fixed reduction gearbox. This system replaces the conventional engine, transmission and fuel tank with a lithium-ion battery system, motor, inverter and other EV components. The long wheelbase, a feature of rear-midship layout, provides space for high capacity lithium-ion batteries under the floor, a roomy four-passenger cabin and 13.0 cu. ft. luggage compartment in the rear. For 2012, the i MiEV also features a groundbreaking three-way battery charging system that allows the vehicle to be charged using the onboard household charger through either 110V (15A) or 220V (15A) power sources or by a quick-charger system that utilizes a three-phase 220V power supply. Initial roll out of the "i" to its dealership network was in November 2011 and nationwide availability by the end of 2012.
