Mitsu's i MiEV may be getting off to a slow start, but it's just the
beginning. The company has announced a number of programs collectively
titled "Environment Initiative Program 2015," a sort of stepping stone
toward a broader reaching "Environmental Vision 2020." That Vision
indicates a desire to have 20 percent of Mitsubishi sales be either
pure electric vehicles or at least plug-in hybrids. The 2015
initiative sets a more modest goal of five percent, and to get there
the company will launch a whopping eight electro-augmented vehicles
between now and 2015. It starts with a commercialized MiEV this year,
moving to two PHEVs next year, a new EV in 2013, and then another new
EV in 2014 -- hopefully with names that roll off the tongue a little
better than "i MiEV." Might we suggest the 2014 Mitsubishi Mitueevee?
