I-MIEV Model Pictures
If reducing emissions is the mission, then zero emissions would be the aim. Mitsubishi believes their i-MiEV automobile is the future of green know-how, which produces zero CO2. Mitsubishi believes that EV (Electric Vehicles) are a priority & are focused on making the i-MiEV the head of environmental know-how. The i-MiEV is an all electric automobile, that even when thinking about the CO2 costs with plugging the vehicle in to the wall at night, still produces less than 30% of the CO2 that a standard internal combustion engine would.
The i-MiEV is being built with infrastructure in mind & ease of use until charge stations are as frequent as gas stations. Already a feet of i-MiEV's have been used at power companies throughout Japan to check their practicality & fast charge capabilities. Charging the i-MiEV takes about 14 hours on a traditional 120v household plugin & only 7 hours if plugged in to a 200v service. The type of stations Mitsubishi hopes will be implemented will bring total charge time down to 30 mins, utilizing 200v two phase electric services.
It;s small on size & capacity, but it;s sacrificed int they name of efficiency & targets the short commute niche. The i-MiEV has a curb weight of under 2400 lbs & seats two. Although you might not rush out to drive this thing on the Auto Bahn, it can 80 miles per hour, which is fast to commute over freeways & interstates. Also, under normal load, the i-MiEV can a range of 100 miles. The isn;t as limiting as might think, thinking about it can be recharged at any electrical outlet or in the coursework of a traditional 8 hour work day if 200v service is offered.
Power is achieved through an advanced permanent magnet synchronous motor. The all electric motor in the i-MiEV can producing about 63 horsepower, which is transferred to the rear wheels. The electrical battery is a Lithium-ion with a 330v capacity. With a fully charged battery, under normal load, produces around 16kWh.
Development & research began back in 2006 & fleet testing began in 2008. For Mitsubishi the future is the EV & hopefully for those of us looking for an ultra efficient option, we'll have access to them in the US soon.
