The Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 (2010-2021) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 49 kW (66 hp) of power and 145 lb-ft of torque.
This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 15.3 seconds (№114 out of 119 ranked positions, among 968 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 81 mph.
How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?
The estimated real-world range for Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 (2010-2021) is 65 miles, ranking it №260 out of 264 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:
Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.
These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.
In 2017, the EPA-estimated range was reduced from 62 miles to 59 miles due to changes in the EPA's testing procedures
What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 (2010-2021) in the USA is equipped with a CHAdeMO charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 3.7 kW, which translates to roughly 15 miles of range added per hour.
For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 (2010-2021) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 50 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.
How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?
Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 (2010-2021) comes in the following dimensions:
Length: 144.7 in
Width: 70.6 in (including side mirrors) or 62.4 in (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 63.6 in
Wheelbase: 100.4 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 2579 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)
How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?
Behind the rear seats of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 (2010-2021), you'll find 13.2 cubic feet of storage space (№120 out of 165 ranked positions, among 968 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).
Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 50.4 cubic feet (№110 out of 200 ranked positions, among 968 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).
The car doesn’t have a “frunk” (front trunk).
Is it suitable for towing? What is the maximum towing capacity?
