New 2012 Mitsubishi "i" MiEV - American Version

These things are so fucking ugly. Makes even the Prius look good. And its not the oil companies faults oil prices are so high. Its those damn enviro-junkies and their lobbyists who staunchly refuse to let the oil companies drill in Alaska and expand business in the Gulf of Mexico and other areas just because they have a beef with them. There's no physical proof that their drilling will hurt the environment (its all theory only).

@auto573923 you know theories are supported by facts right, and there just not guessing

[auto573923]

@sshole69 Not anymore unfortunately (at least in this type of situation). There's no science behind the Marxist enviro-movement bullshit, just pure politics. And nobody dare defend them because their anti-democratic and anti-human agenda will affect us all if they have their way 100%. Look up some of their more radical quotes on google and you'll see what I mean. I see where you're coming from though...

This car looks extremely outdated.

@thatfrankieboyy

It;s a shame big oil bought all the properties to electric cars in the '90's.. who knows where we would of been today with electric cars..

[Kakashi101sensi]

Make it available in Texas dammit....

[kohltrain13]

so cuuute!

[proteusn7xr]

Sorry, I think it looks nice. What I don't understand is that if I want a Level 2 charger at home, why do I have to buy something from Eaton? If I already have a 220V outlet, why can't I just use it as is?

[proteusn7xr]

I think is looks nice.

[wiiplayer9revisited]

Not a bad car.

[eujeeves]

I don't understand why these car manufacturers can't design an electric car that LOOKS like a normal car. Sure it's an A to B car but they do want to sell them don't they?

[loufalce]

@eujeeves ....It`s a selling point. Electric vehicles are designed to look unusual because they are.There may be a certain "audience" who will want a car like this, but personally, I don`t think they will ever replace the internal combustion engine.

[eujeeves]

@loufalce Why not? Is that a preference or just a bleak outlook on the car industry?

[Heavymetalhero91]

@eujeeves because when your working with electric its different than internal combustion cause u have to remember the heavier the car the more electric it will use to move it if u take a car like the chevy impala and make it a EV u will get 10 miles to a charge these cars have to weigh next to nothing to be able to get the efficiency out of the batteries so they gotta make the frame smaller cut out the extra doors get rid of the trunk take this and that out and this is what ur left with

[eujeeves]

@Heavymetalhero91 Thanks that makes more sense. Sad but logical :)

[Heavymetalhero91]

@eujeeves it is but it will get better over time its like in the early 1900's when u had to crank the internal combustion engine now u just put a key in eventually they find a way to make the electric car bigger and nicer looking...just like everything else there is a flaw to it in this case its design vs efficiency in this case people would have cars that are better for the environment and better on there wallet in the long run than something that looks like a normal vehicle
