Connected to the Future
Ever since 1966, we’ve been charging towards a goal of creating all-electric vehicles.
Now it’s time for an all-new leap forward: i-MiEV. Running on 100% electricity for zero
CO2 running emissions, i-MiEV makes it possible to enjoy clean driving fun that’s easy
on the environment. We’ve always envisioned a Green & Sustainable Future – and now that
future has just begun. We’re ready to start charging into the next 100 years. Are you coming?

The i-MiEV fits perfectly into the juwi concept. We are
aiming to reorganise our car pool with electric vehicles. The
fact that the i-MiEV is the only electric vehicle, which is
produced in series, shows that Mitsubishi is well ahead of
the market and that it is as eager as juwi to take a stand for a
future with electric vehicles. Moreover, the i-MiEV is of high
quality and comes along with a good service by Mitsubishi.
It has a feasible range and provides sufficient space.
Charged with electricity coming from renewable energies it
protects our climate, makes driving cheaper and contributes
to shaping our societies towards sustainability.

Here’s some good news for the planet and your bottom line. Go all electric and you’ll avoid petrol and eliminate trips

We have driven our i-MiEV almost 15,000km in the last
9 months - in the city, on country roads, and on highways.
It is fun to drive, nimble around town, and is fast enough
to feel safe on motorways. There is plenty of room for my
family of 4 adults. The electric drive is really smooth, has
been very reliable, and is so cheap to run. I plug it in when
I arrive home each evening which is cleaner, and quicker
than stopping at the petrol station. The car attracts a lot of
interest from passers-by keen to know about its performance
and how it is charged. The whole family is proud to be at the
forefront of the future of eco-friendly transport.

thanks to the rear-midship layout, overall balance and stability are increased,
letting you cruise with confidence wherever you are. Even more, the battery

The lightweight permanent magnet synchronous motor combines high efficiency with surprisingly strong and linear

MieV oS, the Brains behind the i-MieV
The next-generation of electric vehicle management has a name: the MiEV OS (Operating System). By performing vital
tasks such as monitoring battery status and energy recovery from the regenerative brake function, and ensuring smooth
and powerful driving, the MiEV OS enhances safety, comfort and energy efficiency. The i-MiEV was given the “Most
Advanced Technology” award at the “2009 - 2010 Car of the Year Japan” final judging.

The regenerative brake function begins the moment you take your foot off the accelerator pedal, storing kinetic energy
in the traction battery. The amount of energy stored depends on deceleration, which is determined by the shift position.
In addition, when you depress the brake pedal, regenerative brake power is increased. The regenerative brake function is
effective for increasing the driving range.

When steering suddenly to avoid an obstacle, the MiEV OS-controlled
Active Stability Control (ASC) minimises unstable movements such as
over steering and under steering. In slippery conditions, the TCL (Traction

And because ASC with TCL is optimised for electric vehicles, it even
increases stability during regenerative braking.

Begin charging simply by connecting the charging cable to an outlet. Charging stops automatically when battery is full.
Warnings:
During charging, the cable draws the constant maximum current shown on the Control Box label over a period of time. You must ensure that the socket and household wiring
complies with the latest electrical wiring standards, regulations and guidelines for safety. If you are unsure about the suitability of a charging socket, please contact a
qualified electrician for advice to verify that your home meets current electrical standards.
