Mitsubishi adds plug-in hybrid to plug-in portfolio

EVs and PHEVs

Mitsubishi has now added plans to develop plug-in hybrid vehicles in addition to its previously stated plans to develop electric vehicles such as the iMiev according to GCC.

"The development of a plug-in hybrid comes on the heels of the auto maker’s plan to launch a mass-produced electric vehicle [the iMiEV] next year in Japan... Masuko noted that the plug-in hybrid will be better suited for longer distances than the electric car."

The iMiev is supposed to go on sale in Japan next year, so late 2010 is probably a good guess for the US market, as far as the iMiev.

At this point it isn't clear how developed the Mitsu plug-in hybrid is, but the batteries for both the EV and the PHEV are being developed concurrently, so it doesn't seem the PHEV should lag the EV much.

About the last comment I leave on this site.. I was talking about the next model of hybrid that gain more power and fit for longer driving. Cause some people think that hybrid car (electric car) only for driving in the city. People think that hybrid car is underpowered . This is one myths of using hybrid vehicle..

I think u misunderstand in my comment, It's 100% about the topic. I really want to join with you , share my idea or make a discussion but my english make me in trouble..
