VANCOUVER, B.C. - Mitsubishi Motors Sales of Canada Inc. (MMSCAN), British Columbia and the City of Vancouver made history today when three mass-produced, all-electric, zero-emission Mitsubishi i-MiEV passenger cars were presented to the City of Vancouver and BC Hydro. These three vehicles represent the fulfillment of a promise made by MMSCAN to the Government of British Columbia, BC Hydro and the City of Vancouver on April 6, 2009, with respect to providing i-MiEV cars for testing and evaluation.

Who on Earth actually looks forward to getting stuck in downtown traffic? Probably anyone driving a Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid, the only operational vehicle of its kind currently found in Canada. Why is it so? Well, the very nature of this SUV makes it equally pleasant in the city and on the countryside. More importantly, though, low-speed driving becomes a wonderfully-refined, totally-silent experience.
