Mitsubishi i-MiEV
Mitsubishi was one of the first brands to sell electric cars in North America. The i-MiEV has been available for several years, a unique-looking little vehicle that provides a driving range of more than 150 kilometres, according to Mitsubishi. It can also recharge to 80% capacity in less than 30 minutes with a level-three quick charger. Plus, this little urban runabout can even be equipped with a navigation system and Bluetooth technology.
