"has set the Manufacturer&amp;#039;s Suggested Retail Price of its i electric vehicle at $27,990 for the ES model and $29,990 for its SE version. From each of these, many buyers can eventually subtract $7500 by way of a federal tax credit. These prices place the tidy i at some $5000 less than the (admittedly larger) .   The ES includes air conditioning, a driver seat heater, remote keyless entry and a 4-speaker 100-watt AM/FM/CD with MP3/WMA capability. The SE adds alloy wheels, two-tone interior touches, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, fog lamps\u2014and another 260 watts to the sound system. Another $2790 SE Premium package adds HDD navigation with rearview camera, FUSE Hands-free Link with USB port, steering wheel mounted audio controls and a Level 3 Chademo quick-charge port.   Customers encountering freezing climes should also opt for a $150 Cold Zone package that includes outside heated mirrors and a Warming System for the car&amp;#039;s 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack.   With the battery at its lowest state of charge, a Level 3 quick charge can return the pack to 80 percent in 30 minutes, provided, of course, that you locate an appropriate Level 3 charger. At this point, be aware that Level 3 is in a formative stage. The Chademo hookup, also an option with Nissan&amp;#039;s Leaf, isn&amp;#039;t compatible with the one being developed by SAE. A complete Level 1 110-volt replenishment takes 22.5 hours. A Level 2 220-volt hookup accomplishes this in 6.5 hours and is the sort recommended by Mitsubishi, for both practicality as well as battery life. The i comes with a 8-year/100,000-mile warranty on its battery pack. Given that the car&amp;#039;s range is rated at a modest 85 miles (on EPA&amp;#039;s LA4 city cycle), I predict that most i EVs will reach 8 years before they travel that 100K.   , I&amp;#039;d find this wide-body i the perfect city transport delight; EV-spirited, tidy, easy to park, yet with a surprising amount of interior space within its 144.8-in. overall length. Fold down the rear seats and it&amp;#039;s even an urban hauler.   Mitsubishi has devised innovative marketing for early adopters. Visit beginning Earth Day, April 22, 2011, and create an account which includes your own &amp;quot;My Mitsubishi i&amp;quot; page. Be among the first 2000 to place a pre-order (alas, it may already be too late), and the company will waive the $99.99 home electrical inspection fee (this inspection required to assess your home&amp;#039;s EV readiness). There&amp;#039;s also a refundable deposit of $299 via PayPal. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
