Mitsubishi Motors To Mass-produce Electric Motorcar In 2010 - Motor Trend News:
"Masuko said the envisaged electric car will have a lithium-ion battery, emitting no gas and requiring only one-fifth the energy to drive compared with hybrid gasoline-electric cars.
The electric car will be modeled on the mini-vehicle called i, also a brand-new model, and have an 'in-wheel motor' system in which a motor is directly attached to the wheels, according to a company official. The car will make its first test run next year, the official said."
Fantastic! Mitsubishi is making a great, bold move, good for them (and us).
