Mitsubishi i MiEV Sport

 We here at Plug In love fast electric vehicles! Mitsubishi, a company that seems to be ignoring hybrids all together, are betting the bank on EVs. This strategy may have something to do with Mitsubishi president Osamu Masuko being an EV lover and driver himself.The i Miev Sport has a top speed of 180km/h and can travel 200kms before needing a recharge. It also features a photovoltaic generator on the top of the vehicle and two fans in the front grill that also produce juice. Lots of details in the design of this car. All the lights are LED and the windows are designed to keep the car cool so you won’t have to use the air conditioning as often.90709070101m.jpg Starting in 2010 the i Miev Sport (the hyper younger brother to the i Miev) will be available in Japan and Europe.     More pics c/o Autoblog. More details including full specs c/o Zercustoms

    Mitsubishi make very pretty cars, that guy looks really nice as well. I’d park at the university at night and steal electricity from the block heater plugins.

    OH MY GOD ! I’m so in love with this car ! Finally a sporty EV with an attractive pricepoint. I love eveything about it except that it’s not in the states yet.

    Sweet. It looks a lot like a new VW Beetle.

    As long as I can put my Segway in the back of this electric car, I’ll buy one. Please make these for the US car market!!!

    I don’t know if I’d use that car, but it does peek my interest a little. Thanks for the video links!
