It is a very good sign: increase of 20% for this very expensive compare to its utility EV. It is our “Low Base Growth” in action. MiEv are available now and it makes them so different from all other just coming into the market. First trial reports from UK are very encouraging, taking into account recent hard weather conditions there. Please, pay attention to industrial partnerships for MiEv already in place – this increase in production reflects industrial interest in this trial EVs to test mass market ambitions for EVs in general.<\/div>\n

“For the diffusion of EVs, infrastructure development is as important as developing the car itself. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has been conducting joint research with power companies using the \u201ci MiEV\u201d . The power companies will evaluate and analyze EVs\u2019 practical applicability and quick-charge compatibility, which will help to develop vehicles and infrastructure for safe and convenient EV use.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a> Based on the \u201ci\u201d minicar\u2019s rear-midship layout platform, \u201ci MiEV\u201d replaces the conventional engine, transmission and fuel tank with a lithium-ion battery system, motor, inverter and other EV components.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The long wheelbase, a feature of rear-midship layout, provides space for high capacity lithium-ion batteries under the floor. It also enables the motor and inverter to be installed in the space that used to house the conventional engine and transmission. \u201ci MiEV\u201d ensures ample cabin space for passengers(4-occupant capacity) and reasonable luggage compartment space in the rear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The installation of batteries under the floor makes the \u201ci MiEV\u201d \u2019s center of gravity low, which provides a more stable driving dynamic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EV batteries must have high energy density, and the \u201ci MiEV\u201d utilizes high energy density lithium-ion batteries. A module consists of 4 cells, and 22 modules make one battery pack. Thanks to the structure of the modules, which allows them to be installed in either a vertical or transverse position, each high-capacity battery pack can fit under the floor. With these batteries installed, the target range is 160km (driving pattern: Japan 10-15 mode) for fleet monitoring test vehicles in 2008.

\u201ci MiEV\u201d accepts three types of battery charging systems: The household charger system (100V,200V) for charging at home or a parking lot, and the quick-charger system for speedy charging. With the household charger system, \u201ci MiEV\u201d could be charged from either a 100V or 200V ordinary electric outlet via the household charger plug located on the right side of the vehicle. With the quick-charger system, \u201ci MiEV\u201d could be charged in short time via the quick-charger plug located on the left side of the vehicle.”<\/p>\n

Mitsubishi Motors Rises on Electric-Car Output Report <\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n

By Kiyori Ueno and Tetsuya Komatsu
Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) — Mitsubishi Motors Corp.<\/a>, the maker of the i-MiEV electric car, rose the most in more than a month in Tokyo after a report it will raise production of the battery- powered vehicle.
The automaker advanced 7.5 percent to close at 144 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It was the biggest gain since Dec. 3.
Mitsubishi Motors, which began selling the i-MiEV to corporate and government customers in July, will increase production by 20 percent from an original plan for fiscal 2010 to 8,500 vehicles, company spokesman <\/span>Kunihiro Nakamura<\/span><\/a> said by phone today.
<\/span>\u201cInvestors are reacting to the news report of increasing electric-vehicle production,\u201d said Hiroichi Nishi<\/a>, an equities manager at Nikko Cordial Securities Inc. in Tokyo. \u201cEnvironmental issues are a long-term priority, and people jump on it.\u201d
Mitsubishi Motors will also start mass production of the car from fiscal 2012, one year ahead of its initial plan, Nakamura said.
The Mainichi newspaper reported the news earlier.” <\/div>\n
