MITSUBISHI MOTORS UK CUSTOMERS IN PRIME POSITION FOR £5,000 ‘PLUG-IN-CAR GRANT’ ON i-MiEV
Following Lord Adonis, Transport Minister’s announcement today, Mitsubishi Motors UK customers will be in a prime position to enjoy the benefits of £5,000 off of the purchase of the multi award winning all electric i-MiEV.
The announcement from the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) means that from January 2011, motorists will be entitled to a ‘Plug-In Car Grant’ of up to £5,0001 when buying an electric, plug-in hybrid or hydrogen fuel cell car meeting their safety, reliability, performance and warranty standards set by the Office for Low Emissions Vehicles (OLEV) in consultation with industry.
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is a fully electric city car with zero emissions. It's a real car, ensuring no compromise in safety and reliability, while cabin space easily accommodates 4 adults and room for luggage. It has a top speed of 81 mph, a range of up to 100 miles and can be trickle charged from flat to full in 6 hours at any UK three-pin socket - and it only costs 96p for a full charge, the equivalent of £115 for 12,000 miles driving. Quick Charging to an 80% charge is already possible with the i-MiEV, subject to infrastructure developments.
Mitsubishi Motors UK’s Managing Director, Lance Bradley, commented: “We are thrilled with this news, particularly as it coincides with the opening of the Mitsubishi Electric Vehicle Centre in Central London. We are now accepting customer orders for the i-MiEV with deliveries for January 2011. In addition, we are delighted with the successful Plugged in Places outcome, which will lead the way in infrastructure development, and we are a confirmed consortium partner with London.”
