Mitsubishi i-MiEV is America’s lowest cost electric, for a reason
October 17, 2015 Keith Griffin
I wish I had found a place to publicly comment on this. It does a
horrible disservice to the imiev. There are probably few people that
have both a Tesla S and an imiev; I am one.
Yes, the imiev has rather crappy instrumentation. Though not nearly as
crappy as a Leaf. Yes, the range is limited. Other than those two
items, I prefer to drive my imiev over the Tesla. The load capacity is
about 60% of that of the Tesla. It is much easier to drive due to the
smaller size. It has door handles that work and it has sufficient
ground clearance. Two short comings of the Tesla. I do love both my
Tesla and my imiev but, if the imiev had a 200 mile range, I probably
would not have the Tesla.
OTOH, I was very happy with my Leaf for the first 20k miles until Nissan
refused to fix battery problems. So far, I have only about 5k miles on
the imiev and 65k miles on the Tesla.
