It's just like a real car
For around $33,000, the i-MiEV comes standard with a 3-way charge system, speed-sensitive electric power steering, a CD player with MP3 file playback, air conditioning, the MiEV remote system (timer charging and remote climate control) a full compliment of airbags and antilock brakes.

An additional $3,000 gives the consumer the Premium Package with upgraded interior trim, premium audio, navigation with rear view camera, Bluetooth and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. Ontario and Quebec announced subsidies towards the purchase of EVs of close to $8,000.

Consumers will really enjoy being behind the wheel of this EV. It will be easy to forget that they ever drove a ‘real’ car. Unless of course, you run out of charge, but, for the time being, Mitsubishi offers a free tow if you get stuck.
