FactMitsubishi sold this same car in Europe as both a Peugeot and a Citroen, badge-engineering an electric kei car into two French showrooms.
The i-MiEV is the electric version of the Mitsubishi i kei car, built at the Mizushima plant and described as the world's first modern highway-capable mass-production electric car. It was launched for fleet customers in Japan in July 2009 and for the public on April 1, 2010. A rear-mounted 47 kW (63 hp) permanent-magnet motor drives the rear wheels through a single-speed reduction gear from a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery. It was also sold as the Peugeot iOn and Citroën C-Zero in Europe, and a larger version was sold in North America. Production ceased in March 2021.
