" Mitsubishi Motors North America will loan two of its electric cars, the i-MiEV, to the State of California for evaluation in their test fleet. The move comes as the Governor&amp;#039;s office and the Department of General Services both expressed interest in the inclusion of electric vehicles (EV) into the State&amp;#039;s support vehicle fleet. During a May 24th press event, Governor Schwarzenegger was introduced to the Mitsubishi Motors i-MiEV by company officers. Schwarzenegger sat in the i-MiEV, and later spoke to a panel of reporters about the battery electric vehicle being representative of the technology necessary to tackle the sustainable transportation challenges facing the State of California. The i-MiEV went on sale in Japan in July of 2009. This sub-compact vehicle seats four adults and can be recharged from a standard wall-socket. Mitsubishi Motors plans to introduce an EV for U.S. consumers 2011.
