Mitsubishi announces $6,130 price decrease for 2014 electric i-MiEV

(December 4, 2013) CYPRESS, Calif. — In an effort to jump start sales of its all-electric city car, Mitsubishi says its 2014 i-MiEV electric-powered vehicle receives an expanded standard equipment package and a considerable price reduction of $6,130 over the previous 2012 model year vehicle.

The 2014 model year Mitsubishi i-MiEV ES model including CHAdeMO DC quick charge port, battery warming system and heated side view mirrors now starts at only $22,995 — a $6,130 price reduction from the previous generation. After factoring in the Federal tax credit of $7,500, the net MSRP of the 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV drops to only $15,495.

With a net MSRP of only $15,495 after factoring in the avail
able EV federal tax credit of $7,500 and, for example, with the California state EV financial incentive of up to $2,500, residents in California can obtain the i-MiEV for as low as $12,995.

Furthermore, the new 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV boasts a much more comprehensive standard equipment package. Newly added items that are now standard equipment at no charge to the consumer include driver and front passenger heated seats, CHAdeMO DC quick charge port, battery warming system, heated side view mirrors, rear door speakers, 8A/12A switchable Level 1 charging cable, and charge port lamp.
 
To date, more than 30,000 Mitsubishi i-MiEV and i-MiEV-based production vehicles have been sold around the globe in such diverse markets as the U.S., Europe and Asia.

In 2012, the Mitsubishi electric vehicle was number one on the EPA's list of "Fuel Economy Leaders" in the governmental agency's annual Fuel Economy Guide.  It is EPA-rated 112 combined/126 city/99 highway MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent).
