Mitsubishi's electric car plans revealed - AutoblogGreen



Quote:
Mitsubishi would like to have a "lease type agreement" with individual customers (yes, we can hear your groans)
A larger model iMiEV is in the works though the focus will be on the current configuration (pictured above) until after it launches
In-wheel motors should be used by Mitsubishi in 5 to 10 years though a smaller companies may use them sooner
Mitsubishi will add a range extender in future for larger models though it is unlikely to be a fuel cell (yes, we can hear your cheers)
Mitsubishi has no interest in making Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) and will continue to manufacture cars with doors and seating for four (more cheers)
