Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 (2010-2021) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 49 kW (66 hp) of power and 196 Nm of torque.
This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 15.9 seconds (№118 out of 123 ranked positions, among 971 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 130 km/h.
In 2015, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV received a motor upgrade that slightly increased torque from 180 Nm to 196 Nm.
The estimated real-world range for Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 (2010-2021) is 105 km, ranking it №352 out of 357 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.
For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.
Mitsubishi’s 2015 motor upgrade resulted in a slight range improvement from 150 km to 160 km according to the NEDC cycle.
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gen 1 (2010-2021) in Europe 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 24 km 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.
To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use our EV Charging Calculator.
