RANGE & CHARGING

Battery & Charging

YOUR BUSINESS WORLD. WELL WITHIN RANGE.

At the eco-friendly heart of the i-MiEV is an efficient, ultra-quiet permanent magnet synchronous motor and a revolutionary lithium-ion battery pack. Working in concert, they deliver a winning combination of unexpected, fun-to-drive power and viable, economic transportation. The result? An impressive range of 62 miles† at launch.


THREE WAYS TO CHARGE

The i-MiEV's sophisticated battery pack is designed to make charging easier than ever. You have three convenient options:

Flexible Charging

Mitsubishi battery technology affords many advantages:

  • The onboard charger automatically adapts between 120V (8A) and 240V (15A) charging sources.
  • EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) technology lets the i-MiEV communicate with the charging source to assure a safe, proper charge level.
  • Regardless of charging source, your fleet drivers can take advantage of the i-MiEV's ample range—with an EPA rating of 62 miles† per charge.
  • A sophisticated cooling system automatically engages to protect the battery from overheating during charging.

* Charging times will vary by amperage and other electrical conditions. Charging times as they appear are approximations.

† Based upon various EPA testing methods using different driving conditions and climate controls; the EPA rated the i-MiEV with a driving range of 62 miles per charge. Actual range will vary depending on driving/charging habits, speed, conditions, weather, temperature, and battery age. Gradual loss of battery capacity will result with time and use.

CORPORATE FLEET CHARGING AND SUPPORT SOLUTIONS

Mitsubishi Motors has partnered with Rogers Electric (www.lrogerselectric.com), one of the country's leading electrical service providers, to create a national network of fleet charging stations. Rogers Electric will install and maintain charging stations at Mitsubishi dealerships across the country.

As the i-MiEV and other electric vehicles begin to hit the U.S. market, Rogers Electric is actively involved in the support of fleets and all other end users to create a charging strategy tailored to the specific needs of each company.

Power Source

While some electric vehicles adapt third-party battery technology, the i-MiEV's power source is Mitsubishi all the way. To ensure world-class performance, we initiated a joint venture between GS Yuasa, Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors to create a dedicated company called Lithium Energy Japan. The goal was to engineer a high-performance lithium-ion battery specifically for the i-MiEV.

It worked. Our custom battery pack is composed of 88 cells that are installed under the i-MiEV's floorboard. This advanced technology delivers everything you need in a green fleet vehicle: long life, responsive power, easy charging and great range. Oh, and Mitsubishi quality, of course.


Range & Driving Conditions

EXTENDING YOUR RANGE

The i-MiEV's endearing wind-swept design and powerful lithium-ion battery pack combine to extend driving range, but the ultimate factor in getting more miles is the person in the driver's seat. If your drivers adapt their driving style to the road conditions, your fleet can consistently enjoy higher mileage results per charge.
