Mitsubishi has confirmed that its electric i-MiEV has now gone on sale in the UK. The Japanese firm began building production
versions of the supermini in European spec last October, and
now the car has arrived, priced at £23,990, including the
government’s £5,000 plug-in car grant. As of now, the firm
has built and shipped 2,500 examples of the i-MiEV and its
sister cars, the Peugeot iOn and Citroen C-Zero. The cars
have a range of 93 miles and take seven hours to charge from
a household plug, although an 80 per cent change is possible
in just 30 minutes with a special quick charger. The UK is
one of 15 European countries where the car will be sold
first. The other nations are Belgium, Denmark, France,
Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Mitsubishi has had
requests for the i-MiEV from Finland, Serbia, Turkey, and
Slovenia and sales will begin there shortly, before the car
is rolled out to dealers in the rest of Europe.
