Mitsubishi i MiEV

Now let's talk about electromobiles.I have decided to look, whether electromobiles at us in Russia are on sale. Unfortunately is not present. But I have found, such симпотичного the kid.

MIEV (Mitsubishi In-wheel motor Electric Vehicle)
As the company declares, it has everything that is necessary. Electromotors? Is. Batteries? Is. The Car-donor? Too is. It is necessary to put only all on the conveyor and to make at least rather accessible. And it is a matter of time.
Electromobile Mitsubishi will be constructed on base k-car under the name i. It engine will be replaced electric by capacity of 67 "horses", eating from lithium-ionic of accumulators. And, by the way, such here modified device will be in many respects better than the petrol prototype — a twisting moment much more (180 Nanometers), and is much less than noise and vibrations.

Batteries, according to children from Mitsubishi, will turn the market of electromobiles and hybrids — after all they in 10 times more capacious, than what are put on modern cars of type Toyota Prius. Mitsubishi is going to make their more accessible. For this purpose the company has got support GS Yuasa Corporation, and in 2009 mass production of these elements of a food will be opened.
The stock of a course at such car is equal approximately to 160 kilometres, and speed — almost 130 km/h. It is a little, but also the car promises to be inexpensive — it will cost an order of 20 thousand dollars.

Where to charge the car? To make it it is possible from the usual household socket — 7–13 hours. But there is also other variant: at Mitsubishi i MiEV there is an additional socket for fast gymnastics in special places. There car batteries will be charged to 80 % of all for 25 minutes. It is necessary to construct more than such "filling stations".

By the way, Mitsubishi it will not be limited to release of electromobiles only for home market. Some thousand cars Mitsubishi plan to sell and in Europe since 2011. And if there will be a demand, and in America. Capacity of joint venture MMC and GS Yuasa makes 20 thousand batteries a year. But in Mitsubishi are assured — interested persons will be much more.
