The firm said that the Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car would be delivered to customers from January next year. The price had been supposed to be increase, but the weakness of the pound against the yen has pushed it higher than expected.

In this Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car is the biggest change in the automotive industry since it began, so to be able to give our zero emissions car for this price is a really great achievement. It takes the fuel cost only £115 for 12,000 miles driving, with a full charge from a household mains point costing 96 pence.

It having the features like 4-seater car, top speed of 81mph & a claimed range off 80 miles, is exempt from road tax, qualifies for zero benefit-in-kind company car tax & is congestion charge-free. It also has the wide range of accessories customers able to choose what they needs. Mitsubishi has opened its Electric Vehicle Centre for customer inquiries & demonstrations in the capital.
