San Bernardino Mitsubishi features revolutionary all-electric vehicle

Test drivers are impressed with i-MiEV's handling

San Bernardino Mitsubishi is allowing customers to test drive Mitsubishi's new electric car, the i-MiEV (Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday, Nov. 11, at the San Bernardino Auto Center.

The i-MiEV, which is now on sale in the United States, is a revolutionary all-electric car that can be charged from a wall mount.  According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the i-MiEV has a range of 62 miles (98 miles for city driving). Drivers who purchase the i-MiEV are also eligible for a $7,500 tax credit. 

"With gas prices rising, drivers are looking at alternative fuel cars," said Cliff Cummings, owner of the San Bernardino Auto Center. "The i-MiEV is an example of how Mitsubishi technology is serving the demand for fuel-efficient cars."

The i-MiEV, which has a top speed of 80 mph, drives like a regular subcompact car. Test drivers were pleasantly surprised at how well it handled.

"It was comfortable. It looked small, but when I got inside there was a lot more room than I thought," said David Rembert of Highland, who recently test drove the i-MiEV.
