We are only a couple of months away from debuting the all new “i” that Mitsubishi is highly anticipating. It is set to roll out to dealerships sometime in November. Over the course of this year, we’ve been bringing you some information on why going the electric vehicle route might be a great option.

Last month we outlined some more specifics on the pricing for the upcoming Mitsubishi ‘i’, an all new electric car. We’d like to pass on to you that this hot little auto will be ready to go here at the store in November. There is a lot of press focusing on the ‘i’ and for good reason, such as the ones we’ve outlined in other posts and will be bringing to you as its local debut gets closer. Your Normal Mitsubishi dealer is set to have charging stations set up and ready to go, so you can see how they work.
Testing of EV car will be a local event
If you follow our blog or the car industry in general, you’ve most likely heard about the growing popularity of electric vehicles. Several auto makers have already launched models in several parts of the U.S. and Mitsubishi is right in the mix. The iMiev is Mitsubishi’s next states-bound electric car that will be tested right here in Bloomington-Normal. Those of us employed at your preferred Bloomington car dealership are thrilled that this environmentally friendly auto will have local exposure.
Mitsubishi, which has a local manufacturing center right here in Normal, will be teaming up with the Bloomington-Normal EV Task force to educate the community and gain support of electric vehicles in general. The town will be supplied with a large quantity of iMiev’s that local businesses will be able to test drive. The task force, which is made up of various leaders in the community, will be spotlighting the “i’s” at big events throughout the year. Moreover, the town of Normal is working with a maker of charging stations to have them installed throughout the city over the course of 2011.
Mitsubishi has in part been able to make this EV venture possible by forming a partnership with the State of Illinois, as seen in the signing of a memorandum between the auto maker and our state governor. The state is committed to making electric vehicle education possible through research, grants, and more. With the community home to a major university, it’s a very good possibility that some ISU students and staff could work with this program as well? Stayed turned for more information.
The plan is to have Bloomington-Normal turn into a leading “EVtown” where its residents will appreciate these autos and have more knowledge about the importance of helping the environment while behind the wheel. Once this is achieved, they’ll be eager to check out the energy saving iMiev when they roll out in large quantity by 2014. It’s a very good possibility you’ll be able to see one at your Normal Mitsubishi dealer, O’Brien Mitusibishi of Normal, when they officially go on sale in a few years time.
