Those with a small budget and a big love for Mother Nature, listen up. Skyline Mitsubishi would like to share with you the true cost of owning a Mitsubishi i. Unlike other automotive purveyors, we're going to give you more than just the starting MSRP, because everyone knows that buying a vehicle costs more than what you pay up front...it's all about the way you fuel up and the bill you rack up by doing so.
Fortunately for future owners of the one-of-a-kind Mitsubishi i, that bill is quite small. Up front, the new electric vehicle wears an extremely fiscally-friendly price tag of $29,000. This makes it even more affordable than top industry competitors such as the Leaf and Volt. But like we mentioned before, starting cost isn't everything. You have to factor in fuel...or in this case, electric power.
In order to determine just how financially conservative the Mitsubishi i is, both the automaker and the government did a bit of research. What did they find? Over an entire year, Mitsubishi EV owners will only need to spend about $550 on electricity to drive their car. Now, upon first glance that number might seem a bit larger than you'd like. But consider this, the average driver of a gas-only model spends somewhere around that much on gasoline in a matter of a few months. Five-hundred for a year doesn't sound so bad now, does it?
Many electric skeptics make the argument that while juicing up an EV costs less than filling up your gas tank, charging can be rather inconvenient. Skyline Mitsubishi understands this. However, we'd also like to let you in on a little secret. Quick Chargers can be easily installed into your own home and though the price of these bad boys might be high, most offer rebates to cover a good amount of the cost.
