It’s a little ironic that Mitsubishi chose Hawaii as the state to receive the 100% electric i-MiEV. After all, over 90% of the topical state’s electricity is produced from coal and petroleum. Oh well.
Citizens of Hawaii benefit from a clean energy rebate of $4,500 towards the purchase of the i, along with a possible federal tax credit of $7,500. Subtract those incentives to the $27,990 MSRP of a i-MiEV ES, and the result is an EV that could cost under $16,000 USD.
Following the Hawaii launch, Mitsubishi will deliver the car in California, Oregon and Washington in November. By March 2012, the northeastern part of the country will get the i-MiEV, while nationwide availability will start by the end of 2012.
The i-MiEV offers an 85-mile range (136 kilometres) and can be fully charged in 6 hours with a 240-volt outlet and 22.5 hours in a regular 120-volt socket.
