I test drove the new Mitsubishi electric car today. No I can't afford one Entry price is £29K minus a £5K government grant, so £24K. I felt like using up my lunch hour by pretending to be an interested punter
But they reckon it costs about £135 a year in electricity and you really can just plug them straight into the mains at home with an ordinary plug.
Also no road tax.
It drove very well, is smooth, they are all automatics apparently and accelerates nicely.
It is completely silent too.
I thought it was a great car.
Downside is cost and also it only runs for between 70-90 miles before needing a recharge 9depending on whether the lights are on, air -con is switched on etc).
Apparently some local authorties are already planning on installing charging plugs in expectation that this will take on.
