Hi Don,
I got the impression the iMiev was not well received generally in the US. It
is certainly a small car - tho by no means the smallest (think, Fiat 500) but
it is still good for 4 fairly normal sized adults. I test drove one here last
year and found it perfectly capable but basic. If o
Thanks Donald for the update/correction,
the Canadian and European newswires I read must have used 100 miles as
the stated range. Looking at:

Battery 16 kWh / 58 MJ (Li-ion battery)
Range 160 km (99 mi) (Japanese cycle)

The iMiev is a well designed, purpose built Production EV. Sadly,
Mitsubishi decided that U.S. buyers can only buy an iMiev with a smaller

I agree that a ~3kW on-board charger is limiting, especially with the
Spark EV not really having a L3 charging ability (there aren't any ccs

just seven hours."
Whoohoo a 2.5kW charger! The only option for a faster charge is GM's
version of DC fast charging. How many years before that is widely
availabl

Noticed in the paper a day or two ago that one of the SF Bay Area Nissan
dealers is offering Leaf leases for some-$3000 down and $99/mo. I think
Fed/state tax credits are still after that.
