More and more electric cars are being released and Mitsubishi couldn’t stay apart from this, so at the Tokyo Motor Show they announced the compact i-MiEV car. It will be powered by a pack of Li-ion batteries, that will offer the car an autonomy of 100 miles.

Unfortunately, the charging takes quite long, with 7 hours at 200V and 14 hours at 100V, but considering the consumption and that it’s environmental friendly, we should make a sacrifice and wait. Initially it was projected to be released in 2010, but then they’ve announced it might get in the market a year sooner, in 2009.

Currently, we have no pricing or specifications, but it looks like a nice car and it might be cheap.
