Mitsubishi Motors, which will debut its i-MiEV battery-electric vehicle in the U.S. this fall, will have a reservation system up and running this spring as it looks to gauge interest in the four-seat city car. EV.
Customer requests for information on the i-MiEV have "easily doubled" over the past month as U.S. gasoline prices have edged towards the $4 threshold, according to Mitsubishi Motors spokesman Maurice Durand.
"Because of the interest, we're going to be enacting an ordering process," said Durand. "Certainly within the next 90 days."
The car, which has a single-charge range of about 93 miles, will be priced around $30,000 before tax incentives when it goes on sale in the U.S. in November.
The i-MiEV, which debuted in Japan last April, became available in Europe last month. Mitsubishi is offering the i-MiEV for $40,172 after government incentives in France and for up to $47,600 in some of the 14 other European countries where it's now on sale, with the cost to consumers varying with tax incentives.
