The good folks over at Mitsubishi i are sponsoring a cool giveaway for Planetsave readers. You have a chance to win:
- a $200 Whole Foods Gift Certificate,
- some Flip & Tumble Reusable Bags, and
- a Pure Balance Water Bottle.
Before telling how you can enter to win this prize package, however, let me tell you a few things about the Mitsubishi i that might surprise you….
If you’re not familiar with the Mitsubishi i (or i-MiEV), it’s a new electric vehicle (EV) with a tremendous MPGe rating and a surprisingly affordable price tag. Here are some of its key details and awards:
- 112 combined MPGe!
- EPA’s fuel economy leader / most efficient car in production
- 100% electric
- ‘The Greenest Vehicle of 2012′, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy
- net MSRP* after the federal tax credit = $21,625 for the standard ES model (note that state and city EV tax credits may also be available to you, and note that you’d save some serious cash in operation costs driving this vehicle compared to a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle)
- net MSRP* after the federal tax credit = $23,625 for the SE version
We’ve written about the i-MiEV several times over on sister site CleanTechnica in recent months, if you want to learn more of the details.
You can also find a Mitsubishi i dealer near you or schedule a test drive today to get an even closer look at the vehicle.
And, of course, you can keep a close eye on the Mitsubishi i Facebook page, its Twitter feed, the Mitsubishi i channel, or CleanTechnica for the latest news on this pioneering EV.

The MPGe, of course!
fuel economy is the thing I’m most interested in – looks cool, too!
I love the fact that the car is electric and transport more than two people.

I love that it relies solely on electric energy. So much better for the environment. I am currently in the market for a car and will definitely be checking this one out!
I love that it doesn’t rely on gas! 100% electric is awesome. Shared on FB!
I love how it’s helping usher in a greener age! The 100% electric aspect is amazing.
MPG is import as much as gas cost and i would love it for the reason
The best feature is the great savings on gasoline.
best feature has to be that whopping MPG!
Wait .. is this already available? I haven’t seen any in California .. This would give the Prius a run for its money!

I actually didn’t know about this car. Mitsubishi has been quiet lately .. though their cars are pretty decent. When is this available in the US?

The most awesome thing has to be that it has a $7500 tax credit, on top of all the money you would be saving on gas, that its a pretty amazing deal!

Thanks! And like the new meaning of Mitsubishi i! Think they should use that one. 😀
112 mpg???? Wow. I do a lot of little short trips- and I’m spending more and more money on gas lately. This little car would be awesome!!!!!!
The price seems really great for an electric car – my friend from
college has an electric car and I believe he paid much more than that for it – That federal tax credit is good.
imagine the money you could save on gas!
Yeah, this EV is sort of revolutionary for its low cost. Add in the gas savings and I’m not sure if it could be beat.
I like that the i-MIEV runs up to 112mpg! That’s an improvement over the hybrid I was considering.
i love this car for short trips to portland, without spending alot on gas.
Wow, 112 MPG! I thought my Saturn getting 33 MPG was good. I love my Saturn but I would rather have something that goes 112 MPG! I’m flabbergasted…
It’s cute, it’s electric and has a tremendous MPGe rating and a surprisingly affordable price tag. What more could you want?
I am imoressed by the miles per gallon and the electric aspect.
cute, affordable and great savings to get around town in!
I love how it’s electric and eco-friendly! My husband drives over 45 minutes each way to and from work! The i-MiEV would be the perfect car for him!

I think the savings in gas is what would interest me most!
