Ownership Advantages

    $7,500 federal tax credit.4
    Two words: Cha. Ching.

    Great news. The IRS will reward your purchase of the Mitsubishi i with a generous $7,5004 tax credit. In addition, many cities and states are offering tax incentives and rebates on top of the federal benefit when you purchase an electric vehicle. Keep in mind that federal and state funding for tax incentive programs can run out, so now's the time to order your car.

    Driving a Mitsubishi i has other advantages. Some cities offer parking perks for drivers of electric vehicles. Others let you access the coveted "HOV" lane without passengers. Long story short? It pays to be green.

    It turns out gasoline is kind of expensive.

    As you happily zip past the gas station (where it's $3-$5 per gallon) to charge your Mitsubishi i at home (where it's probably about 12 cents per kilowatt-hour), you'll be saving money. Lots of it. Even compared to a hybrid. Let's take a look. Cost to drive Hybrid Vehicle vs 100% Electric

    The comparison to regular gas-powered cars is even more impressive. If you drive the Mitsubishi i 15,000 miles per year, you could expect to spend as little as $541 on electricity. An efficient gas car with a respectable mpg rating can consume more than $1,980 worth of gasoline each year.6 Yikes.

    Less maintenance.
    Therefore less maintenance costs.

    A gas-powered car has hundreds of parts that simply aren't required on the 100% electric Mitsubishi i. Over time, there's less to wear out and less to require attention during a regularly scheduled maintenance. It's a fact that could translate to greater long-term savings for you, the proud owner.

    For example, the Mitsubishi i has no use for the following:

    • Engine oil
    • Oil filter
    • Fuel filter
    • Engine air filter
    • Fuel-injection components
    • Spark plugs
    • Muffler
    • Exhaust system
    • Smog-control system
    • Fan belt
    • And dozens of other costly parts
    Based upon various EPA testing methods using different driving conditions and climate controls; the EPA rated the Mitsubishi i with a driving range of 62 miles per charge. Actual range will vary depending on driving/charging habits, speed, conditions, weather, temperature, and battery age. Gradual loss of battery capacity will result with time and use.
