The Mitsubishi i MiEV Sport Air concept car is to be unveiled in Geneva this March, but Mitsubishi’s i MiEV 2010 all-electric hatchback is already here. It is set for introduction to the Japanese market later this year. Mitsubishi hopes to bring it to the US market ‘soon.’ A gasoline version is currently for sale in Japan. The i MiEV is quiet and spacious and has better acceleration than the gasoline-only model. It’s shorter than an Mini Cooper on the outside, but has a roomier interior. The gasoline version gets 50 mpg. The electric version has a 100 mile range promises to be a contender for the limited dollars of eco-conscious urban consumers.  This new Mitsubishi i MiEV Sport Air electric car concept has a touch of arty 1950s design in it, which is neat. Of course all these proposed electric cars have huge hurdles to overcome when they start rolling off the line in earnest. Like where are we all going to plug them in? Forget about traffic jams and parking wars, we’re more likely to see a surge in plug rage in the future, as frantic commuters scrap with each other over the last available power socket at the supermarket.
