MITSUBISHI has made a bold move in launching its electric powered i MiEV onto the UK market.


It borrows the clever design of the petrol-powered i car and '


adds.an electric drive system which, according to the speci­ fication, looks like it will prove viable for lots of city dwellers. The performance figures for


the i MiEV wouidn’t be unusuai if they appiied to a rather siuggish supermini but that serves as a ringing endorsement of the car’s groundbreaking powertrain. The eiectric motor produces


63bhp and that can get the car from naught to 60mph in 13 sec­ onds before eventuaiiy reaching


a motorway-friendiy 87mph top speed. Less orthodox is the torque of 182Nm which is readiiy available thanks to the electric


motor’s on/off operation. That’s about what you might


expect from a 1.6-litre petrol engine and it means that the i


MiEV should be more than capa­ ble tackling steep inclines and travelling fully loaded. So we come to the nuts and


bolts of whether the I MiEV is a viable proposition in the UK market. For a start, it’s an emissions


free vehicle which comes with ail kinds of tax-advantages. In fact, Mitsubishi estimates that


the car costs just £115 to'run for 12,000 miles which really puts the prices we’re paying to run our conventional cars into perspective. On the downside, it isn’t as


convenient as a car with an internal combustion engine. The range on a full charge is said to be between 80 and 100 miles but that is reduced by cold weather and unfavourable driving condi­ tions. That’s still a decent range but a charge takes six hours to complete from a normal house­ hold socket which probably means plugging it in overnight


for use the next morning. Electric cars seemed a very


long way off just a few years ago but market conditions and a desire to cut emissions have ac­ celerated their arrival. Predicting the future is a dangerous game but with electric cars in show­ rooms and attitudes changing, it’s not too hard to foresee a - time when significant numbers of us want to own them.
