Mitsubishi’s adorable, new, zero-emissions electric vehicle (EV) puts the grin in green. It gets up to 100 miles on a full battery charge. Emits only 30% of the CO2 of a gas-powered minicar even when taking into account emissions at the power plants that generate the electricity needed to charge the car. And it costs at least one-third less to drive (or even less, depending on the price of electricity and whether it’s charged during off-peak hours) than a comparable gasoline vehicle. The i MiEV gets its oomph from high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries and a compact, highly efficient motor.
Oh, and it looks like an egg. Or, if Japanese anime is your thing, a Pokemon character. If it had cheeks we’d pinch them.
So why are we telling you this? Because I-GO is one of the few places in North America where Mitsubishi has chosen to demo the i MiEV, currently sold only in Japan. And we’re inviting I-GO members to drop by our office to take a spin.
As an environmentally driven nonprofit, I-GO is making plans to add electric vehicles to its fleet. The i MiEV demo is a rare sneak preview of one such EV our members may be driving in the near future. We’d love to hear what you think of it. Your feedback will help us evaluate our EV options.
We’ll also be doling out discounted I-GO memberships at the event. So bring along a friend, family member, coworker, or classmate who’s been contemplating the car-sharing lifestyle. And queue up for a ride around the block in the i MiEV with I-GO CEO Sharon Feigon.
No, you can’t reserve the i MiEV for an I-GO trip — yet. But you can reserve any of the other diverse, low-emission vehicles in our fleet. Half of them are hybrids. Two are plug-in hybrids that also get stratospheric mileage and help reduce our addition to oil and gas.
RESERVE AN I-GO CAR TODAY!
At I-GO, we’re focused on an greener, cleaner tomorrow. Renewable energy and dwindling dependence on fossil fuels. Affordable sustainability. Car sharing is already eco-friendly. Let’s plug in and make it even friendlier.
