The best way to maximize the Mitsubishi i-Miev’s range is by keeping low-speeds with frequent stops and gets an average of 112 miles per gallon in these conditions.

The i-MiEV has a public quick-charge port that connects to CHAdeMO Level 3 public chargers — with this hookup the car can get an 80% charge in about 30 minutes.

This space is suited for a set of golf clubs or a standard size suitcase. If the rear Mitsubishi i-Miev available at University Mitsubishi seats are folded down cargo space increases to 50.4 cubic-feet.

The Mitsubishi i-Miev offers a quiet cabin for the driver and the passengers. Hard accelerations will produce an electric motor kick, but for the most part the cabin is quiet enough for casual conversation. Wind and tire noise increase as speed increases on the highway.

The 2-door i-Miev has halogen headlights and fog lights and LED taillights. Its exterior mirrors are heated and the small car rides on 15-inch aluminum alloy wheels. The i-Miev comes in four-different colors.
