Mitsubishi (http://www.autoblog.com/make/mitsubishi) is nearly ready to join North America's nascent all-electric parade. The 2012 Mitsubishi i (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mitsubishi+i) will be available sometime early next year, and the automotive world has been speculating on the type of electron-powered economy one can expect to achieve when behind the wheel. The speculators can take a break because the EPA has finally released its ratings for the i.
How does a mile per gallon equivalent of 126 city and 99 highway sound? That's a combined MPGe rating of 112. The EPA also subjected the 2012 i to its LA4 driving test, also known as the city test. This subjects the vehicle to numerous starts and stops, as one would encounter when cruising through town. The electric four-door achieved a max cycle range of 98 miles.
From an efficiency standpoint, the 2012 Mitsubishi i stacks up nicely against its electricity-drinking competition. The Tesla Roadster 2.5 has a 119 MPGe combined rating (http://green.autoblog.com/2011/05/26/tesla-roadster-2-5-snags-official-119-mpge-rating/) while the Nissan Leaf sports a rating of 99 MPGe combined (http://green.autoblog.com/2010/11/22/nissan-leaf-snags-99-mpg-rating-on-official-epa-sticker/).
