Mitsubishi is expected to be one of the first major carmakers to launch an all-electric vehicle when its compact i-MiEV enters mass production next year. The car was originally slated to be leased on a small scale to government and business groups next year, with public sale beginning in 2010. Latest reports indicate the car’s retail launch has been brought back a year in light of smoother-than-expected preparations for mass production and the favourable sales conditions created by rapidly increasing fuel prices.
