All Things Electric ... Leaf, iMiEV, Volt
ACDC has driven this car and talked to the iMiEV engineers from Japan. We settled on buying a Nissan Leaf due to the availability, but ACDC will get any mainstream electric car when they are available.
This was the first EV sold in the second coming of modern electric cars. (The first was the California EV mess in the 90's). The price was released in Japan in 2009 at over $42,000 US dollars. This is a very small car by US standards so the price was 3x what a small car like that would cost here. It has since been reduced in price when Nissan released the LEAF price at about 33K. There is a 7,500 tax credit on all new EV cars sold in America. The 2 door shown below is not for sale as it is a show car. The 220 home charging station required to charge this car also fits the Volt and Leaf. This car is coming to the US in 2011.This is a car to watch.
Estimated cost; $30,000 (minus 7,500 for some)
Mitsubishi iMiEV (pronounced eye-meeve) was renamed for the US market they remaned it the "i".
