Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc., (MMNA), has seen the company’s all-new 100% electric-powered 2012 Mitsubishi i featuring Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle (MiEV) technology named to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy’s (ACEEE’s) prestigious “Greenest Vehicles of 2012” and “Greener Choices” lists.

The “Greenest Vehicles” and “Greener Choices” lists appear in the ACEEE’s Green Book® Online. The Green Book® Online, according to the ACEEE, is an “annual ranking that highlights the environmental friendliness of vehicles in the United States.” Only the twelve highest-ranked vehicles by the ACEEE make it onto the organization’s “Greenest Vehicles” list.

 With a starting net value of $21,625* for the well-equipped entry-level ES model (the premium-grade SE version begins at $23,625*), the 2012 Mitsubishi i is the most affordably-priced mass-produced electric vehicle (EV) available in the United States and is the first of several new advanced, alternative-fuel production vehicles that the Japanese auto manufacturer plans on bringing to the North American market in the next few years.

The all-new 2012 Mitsubishi i will be available to test drive at participating dealerships throughout the northeast, Virginia and Illinois beginning in March (the vehicle is already available in California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii) and will be available nationwide by this summer.
