 This is an awesome car!! A lot of fun to drive. Only looking to sell because car seats don't fit very well in the back seat. This car has less then 47,000 miles on it at the moment but I do drive it most everyday so the miles are going up a little.  This car is very clean for an 18 year old car. I had the water pump and timing belt replaced in June. Great paint and body with very few scratches most of which aren't noticeable unless you are looking for them.  There aren't any dents of any kind.  The interior is just as good if not better. There aren't any rips in the seats or headliner which is fully in tact without any sagging, the dash doesnt have any cracks or scuffing. The car is fully stock with the original Infinity stereo system which includes the double din radio and equalizer, 6 disk cd changer behind the back seat, amp under the front passenger seat, 2 6x9s in the rear 6 1/2s in the doors and 3 inch speakers the dash. All of it works but the dash speakers will need to be replaced or disconnected if you like your music loud. They vibrate and rattle with high volumes. This car does have the DOHC engine in it which gives you an extra 40 hp over the SOHC engine. Everything in the car works including the heat, air, rear window defrost, rear window wiper, all gauges and the power locks, windows and side view mirrors.. The struts also work on the hood and rear hatch. There aren't any cracks or rock chips in the windshield.  The only bad things with the car is the volume knob on the radio doesn't work right. You will have to play with it for a second to turn the radio down. The only other thing is the power antenna doesn't always go down when the radio is turned off.  The motor runs but the antenna doesn't always retract. It comes with a donut spare and jack, Overall this will be an excellent car for someone for quite sometime! Please ask any questions before bidding and only bid if you are 100% willing to buy the car.  The car is for sale locally as well although I haven't posted it in about a week and won't post it during this auction. Just in case it's an issue this car does require premium fuel per Mitsubishi.  There is a $500 deposit through paypal within 48 hours of auctions end unless you pay for and pick up the car within that time frame.
GOOD LUCK

8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs

Thu, Jul 31 2014

We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.

The 100,000th EV sold in the US is... a Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

The news here isn't that 100,000 EVs have been sold in the US, although that's quite the accomplishment. It's that the 100,000th car is a Mitsubishi i-MiEV - a car that takes nearly a full day to recharge on a standard outlet and can only travel about 62 miles per charge (according to the car's Monroney).
Jabs at the Mitsubishi aside, the fact that US dealers have moved 100,000 electric cars is made more impressive in that it's only been done since the latest generation of EVs arrived, typified by the Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus Electric and aforementioned i-MiEV. Chronologically, that means roughly the last two years. It's a number that we can only expect to climb, as EVs gain a stronger foothold among manufacturers and consumers.
Plug In America, an EV advocacy group, crunched the numbers for a contest called #PIA100K, to find the lucky buyer, who would be given a ClipperCreek Level 2 charger (which takes the i-MiEV's recharge time down to just seven hours). The winner, Rich Salmon of Grand Bay, Alabama, picked up his i-MiEV from Pete Moore Mitsubishi.

1,400 Mitsubishi vehicles lost in shipping tragedy

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

A cargo ship carrying 1,400 Mitsubishi vehicles from Japan and Thailand collided with another vessel off the coast of Belgium and the Netherlands yesterday. The 485-foot Baltic Ace was carrying cars from Zeebrugge, Belgium to Kotka, Finland when it collided with the 439-foot Corvus J. While the Corvus J sustained damage during the incident, it is not in danger of sinking, and its 12-man crew is currently still on board.
The Baltic Ace, meanwhile, went under. Three ships from the Royal Dutch Sea Rescue Organization, two navy vessels, four helicopters and one coastguard aircraft spent the evening searching for survivors, but rough seas and high winds hampered the effort. Eighteen of the Baltic Ace's crew, including the captain, were rescued after being found in life rafts, but six remain missing. The search for survivors has officially been called off.
The collision occurred in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the North Sea, and the managers behind the Baltic Ace said they believed human error was to blame for the incident. Dutch police are currently looking into whether or not they can investigate the sinking despite the fact that the collision took place outside of the country's territorial waters.
