Mitsubishi rolled out their latest version of their Mitsubishi i MIEV. The new-generation electric vehicle or they called it EV, depicting it as “the pioneer that will open the door to the next 100 years of our automobile society.” The i-MiEV will go on sale on the Japanese market in late July of this year.

“Once we’re motoring along, the interior of the i MIEV seems as quiet as a church and the scenery slips silently past. When you back out of a parking lot, you can hear yourself breathe.

Apart from the lack of any recognizable noise, this i minicar seems like any current showroom model from Mitsubishi. Look closer, however, and you notice that the four-speed automatic transmission has been replaced by a two-position gear selector that lets you choose Drive or Eco mode. And where the tachometer normally goes on the instrument panel, this i sports a meter that indicates the charge status of the battery and the discharge rate. ” – edmunds.com
