Boucherville Mitsubishi recently sold the 200th i-MiEV in Canada to a lucky couple from Beloeil, Quebec. François Carignan and Josée Giroux will use their brand new Ocean Blue all-electric car for their daily commutes around the Greater Montreal area.

''Mitsubishi is a pioneer of mainstream electric vehicles in Canada. We were not surprised to learn the 200th sale occurred in Quebec, a province that is both an early adopter of electric vehicles and supports the strongest demand for i-MiEV,'' said Tony Laframboise, vice president of Sales and Marketing at Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada.

Mitsubishi has 43 certified i-MiEV dealerships across Canada, serving electric car buyers in all provinces except Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island.

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV achieves the equivalent of 1.9L/100km (city) and 2.1L/100km (city/highway). EnerGuide projects its annual energy costs at $449. By comparison, the average new vehicle is rated at 10L/100km and requires $12,600 to fuel over five years.
