Production Ramps Up for the Mitsubishi i-MiEV Electric Car
Mitsubishi Announces Production of i-MiEV Electric Vehicles Has Reached 5,000 Units
Momentum is building behind Mitsubishi’s new electric vehicle, the i-MiEV, and the company is celebrating key milestones along the way. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) announced that it reached 5,000 units*(1) of its i-MiEV new generation electric vehicle (EV) produced at its Mizushima Plant as of November 23rd.
Mitsubishi was first in the world to start production of a full-fledged mass production electric vehicle (EV) with the i-MiEV in June of 2009. The month after that Mitsubishi introduced the i-MiEV to the Japanese market, and has sold about 3,000 units to individuals and businesses nationwide (as of end October 2010).
Mitsubishi also started left-hand drive European-spec i-MiEV production from October 2010, and is steadily proceeding with global rollout of EVs.
Also, in fiscal year 2011, in order to further expand its production scale via starting North American-spec i-MiEV production, MMC plans to transfer production of the i-MiEV from the current commercial vehicle assembly line to the minicar assembly line for cars such as eK Wagon and i.
