6. The Is the Integration of MMC’s Advanced Technologies
MMC revealed the new-generation EV i-MiEV in June 2009 and began delivery of the vehicle in July.
Mitsubishi Motors’ EV Heritage
At Mitsubishi Motors, we viewed lithium-ion drive batteries as the core technology to create
a practical EV; and worked early on to develop them.

8. “i-MiEV” Product Feature
Ecological
The i-MiEV is a Zero-emission Vehicle. (Even when taking into account CO2
emissions at the power plants , it emits approximately 30% of a gasoline vehicle.)
•As i-MiEV doesn’t mount gasoline combustion engine, while
driving car there is no emission of greenhouse gases (CO2)
which influences to global warming.
•i-MiEV reduces the effects on the environment.

23. Expansion of Charging Infrastructure
Mitsubishi Motors’ Initiatives
●MMC works to popularize and standardize charging infrastructure as a member of the “Quick-charger Infrastructure
Promotion Association” (tentative name).
●MMC plans to outfit all of its sales outlets with quick-chargers within CY 2010.
*1 Information regarding MMC’s and other quick-charger information can be found on the EV portal site http://www.ev-life.com/.
Expansion of Charging Infrastructure
Shopping Centers Convenience Stores Public Parking Lots
Home With a 200V Outlet
(ex.: Aeon Lake Town) (ex.: LAWSON) (ex.: Park 24) (ex.: Crevia Court Kitayamada/Itochu Property Development,
Ltd.)
Highway Parking Areas
Public Parking Areas
(ex.: Daikoku Futo PA) Gas Stations
(ex.: Kanagawa Prefecture) Homes With “Car Studios”
(ex.: Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K.)
(ex.: Mitsubishi Estate Home Co., Ltd.)
24. Necessity of Quick Charger
Before Installation
After Installation
After the installation, and public awareness
fostered, the driving radius expanded
Quick charger alleviates “Range
Anxiety”
