The i MiEV plug-in electric car

iPod. iMac. iLife. And it looks like you'll soon be able to add an i MiEV too. It's all part of the slow and steady progression of electric cars. And here's one that made its debut at the New York Auto Show and will be launching in Japan next year, 2009. The i MiEV is Mitsubishi's innovative Electric Vehicle.

With a 330-volt lithium-ion battery system mated to a permanent magnet 47 kW electric motor, this plug-in electric car offers a 100 mile range per charge. And there's even an i MiEV SPORT model with solar panels. Check out this gallery of the i MiEV and i MiEV Sport for more details.
