    Is the Mitsubishi i available for fleet purchase?

    Of course. The 100% electric Mitsubishi i - with room for four and a range of 62 miles7 - is an economical solution for fleets that specialize in short deliveries and car sharing (just to name a few of the many corporate uses for the Mitsubishi i). For more information, visit our Fleet page.

    If I change my mind, can I get a refund?

    Should you decide, for any reason, that the Mitsubishi i is not quite right for you, the $299 deposit to reserve your car is 100% refundable up to the time of delivery. In addition, the $99.99 fee (which we're waiving for the first 2,000 customers who pre-order) to secure your home electrical inspection is also refundable, assuming the inspection has not been initiated. If you have scheduled a garage site inspection through Best Buy, please contact them directly at (800) 219-6747 to cancel as it may impact your refund amount. Subject to location. Some locations may require additional surcharges. For specific details, please see our complete Refund Policy.
