MITSUBISHI DROPS I-MIEV PRICE


Mitsubishi drops i-MiEV amount Amount cut and government admission cut electric car amount by about £15,000.
The amount is appropriate for the i-MiEV! Mitsubishi has adopted to bead the amount of its electric supermini from £38,699 to £28,990 for orders placed for supply from January 1st next year. Add in the £5,000 ‘plug-in’ admission from the government, and buyers will pay £23,990 to get abaft the caster – a abridgement of £14,709.
For that outlay, buyers get a able four-door, four-seat supermini able of a top acceleration of 81mph and a ambit of 90 miles. Power comes from a 49kW (66bhp) motor, and a abounding allegation from a domiciliary atrium takes nine hours, although a accelerated charging arrangement can recharge the batteries to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes.
What’s more, Mitsubishi claims the i-MiEV allowances from ammunition costs of £144 per 12,000 miles. The car is absolved from alley tax, aggregation car tax and the bottleneck charge, while some London boroughs action chargeless parking for electric cars.
Standard kit includes alloys, air conditioning, electric windows, a acrimonious driver’s bench and a four-speaker stereo.
The amount is still college than the £23,350 Nissan will allegation for its Leaf electric car, including government grant, if it goes on auction next February, although Mitsubishi has accepted that the i-MiEV will appear with a five-year, 62,500-mile assurance for the capital array and EV apparatus and an alternative three-year application amalgamation that costs and added £300.
