CYPRESS, Calif. – Mitsubishi Motors North America Inc. has begun delivery of the company’s all-new 100 percent electric-powered 2012 Mitsubishi i featuring Mitsubishi innovative electric vehicle technology to the first retail customers in the continental United States.

Not only is the 2012 Mitsubishi i an affordably priced mass-market EV but it was recently named the No. 1 vehicle on the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of Fuel Economy Leaders: 2012 Model Year in the governmental agency’s annual Fuel Economy Guide.

Currently available in California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii, the 2012 Mitsubishi i will be available across much of the United Sates by this summer. With a starting price $21,625 for the entry-level ES model (the premium-grade SE version begins at $23,625), the 2012 Mitsubishi i is the first of several new alternative-fuel production vehicles that the Japanese auto manufacturer plans to bring to the North American market in the next few years.
