How a Mitsubishi iMiev Electric Car is made - BrandmadeTV

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV - The world’s first mass-produced 100% electric car. A 100% electric car was a dream engineers have been fine-tuning for over a century. Early versions had promise; but they were too heavy, too expensive, and just too slow. In short, not quite ready to take over the road…that is, until now.

Mitsu needs to bring this back in 2022 with improvements to compete with other brands....without the $40, 000 price tag most others carry. I would jump on it.

Very cool to learn about the car i have been driving for the past few years. It has been almost flawless since i bought it new in 2014, but for the battery pack which quit holding a good charge, but guess what, Mitsubishi replaced it free, in 2015 on a 2012 car. Very impressed, the new battery pack has held its reserve correctly now since its return, and i LOVE this car. Will buy more used now, as a result, as they are not very expensive for a great car. About a $1 per night to charge at home on a 110V plug.

Although a footnote now, the i-Miev deserves recognition for being the first mass-produced electric car. If they made this car today, that battery would be twice the capacity and still be the same size.

Good news, Mitsubishi is having another go with their EK X(cross) EV with Nissan's help by rebading as Sakura (EV version of Dayz) and Japanese government's subsidies as well as other beneficial specifically for EV keis. ICE keis benefits have been greatly reduced and Kei "taxes" have hiked as well. For that, Mitsubishi EK X EV and Nissan Sakura should have better sales on their new kei EVs (than before).
We should give Mitsubishi another chance. Not to mentions things are promising inside out.

iMiEV is a under appreciated car. It's one of the few cars that could actually make the switch to electric without to much problem. With better technology it could have outsold the Nissan Leaf

Wicked torque, lol!
What they need to do is merge the iMiev and the Mirage, as a hybrid.
Use the 60kWh motor for acceleration, and use a 1 liter 3 cylinder engine for cruising, and maintaining highway speed.
A single gear could keep the engine running at it's peak torque band, or switch to HP band.
It needs an ECVT for the engine though.
60HP is barely enough for braking and acceleration up to 45MPH.
A 1 liter engine is good enough for cruising at highway speeds, at 3-4k rpm (60-80MPH), allowing added range.
I would not recommend the 1 liter 3 cylinder engine as a range extender. It's actually directly driving the vehicle, rather than driving a generator.

I own one and a Tesla 3, the iMiev didnt have a chance and Mitsubishi made next to 0 improvements in 9 years

[Georgatzis]

production stop of i Miev Peugeot ion and czero citroen. Because the high prices and low mileage and low interest of customers. Price of battery 2019 10000 euros ! That's ridiculous

[Georgatzis]

And not to mention that after 10 years of use you must replace the charger that cost 4000 euros And almost everything at this car is vin coded so you can not change parts from other cars !!! And the battery cost 10000 euros and must be replaced after 15 years !

[Georgatzis]

Wait until your charger go bad ( what is happen 8 to 10 cars )or the battery pack! Then you need a charger for 4000 euro and a battery pack for 10.000 Euros! And don t think that you can buy a used because all are vin coded !!! So driving an imiev is more expensive as a normal small car after 15 years! Thanks to Mitsubishi that show as once again what is to drive an electric car!! Green drive looks different !
