Mitsubishi Motors to Loan Two i-MiEVs to the State of California for Evaluation
Tue, May 25, 2010 - SACRAMENTO, Calif -
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., (MMNA) announced it will loan two of its zero-emission, new-generation, i-MiEVs to the State of California for evaluation in their test fleet. The move comes as the Governor’s office and the Department of General Services both expressed interest in the inclusion of electric vehicles (EVs), such as the i-MiEV, into the State’s support vehicle fleet.
During a May 24th press event, Governor Schwarzenegger was introduced to the Mitsubishi Motors i-MiEV by company officers. Schwarzenegger sat in the i-MiEV, and later spoke to a panel of reporters about the battery electric vehicle being representative of the technology necessary to tackle the sustainable transportation challenges facing California.
