Star Motor Carnival gives visitors opportunity to test the Mitsubishi i-MiEV

The first electric car to be registered for our roads, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, will be available for test drive at the Star Motor Carnival from September 14 to 17 at Bukit Jalil Stadium, Kuala Lumpur.

The four-seater i-MiEV has a top speed of 130kph and can travel up to 150km on a full charge.

“We want to create awareness that electric cars can offer driving smoothness and performance that is better than petrol-powered cars,” said Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia senior head of Project and COO Office, Hoffen Teh while giving a demonstration of the car here yesterday.

The car’s lithium ion battery can be fully charged in eight hours using an ordinary house wall plug point.

In addition to the i-MiEV, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia will also be displaying its range of Lancer and ASX passenger cars, Triton VGT pick-up trucks, Pajero V6 and Pajero Sport VGT sports utility vehicles at the carnival.

Besides Mitsubishi, other marques exhibiting include Honda, Mazda, Ford and Chinese brand ZX Auto.
