SLOUGH, UNITED KINGDOM – January 4, 2010: Mitsubishi Motors in the UK has today confirmed competitive finance offers for the Mitsubishi i-MiEV fully electric vehicle. Independent advisors CAP have predicted the Mitsubishi i-MiEV will retain 43% of its on the road price after the £5,000 government incentive P-ICG and after three years and 30,000 miles which is better than most combustion engined rivals.

The ultra-low running costs of the i-MiEV are also a key advantage over other cars, with additional incentives including ‘fuelling’ for as little as £1.05 per full charge (if using Economy 7 tariff), low servicing costs and downtime. The i-MiEV is also exempt from road tax, is free from the London Congestion Charge and is entitled to free parking in some London Boroughs and cities such as Milton Keynes.

Company car drivers will further benefit as the i-MiEV is not subject to Benefit-In-Kind tax. Furthermore, businesses will benefit as they can write-down the vehicles full value in the first 12 months.
