The 2012 Mitsubishi "i" electric car has been around in one form or another for several years now, so there's a lot of information to keep track of.

The tiny egg-shaped electric car, with four doors and four seats, is currently on sale in the U.S. It's been on sale in Japan for some time now, and also in some European markets, where it's known as the 'i-MiEV'.

Since our Nissan Leaf Ultimate Guide has gone down so well, we thought you might find a similar page useful for the quirky "i" electric car and its Citroen and Peugeot cousins overseas, compiled from all our relevant GreenCarReports articles.

With a starting price of $29,125 before federal and local incentives, the diminutive "i" is one of the cheapest electric cars available, and carries an EPA rating of 112 MPG equivalent - the highest of any vehicle currently on sale. Official range is 62 miles on a charge.

    Best estimate at the moment is Fall 2011 to early 2012, so another year at the earliest.

    I've had my $300 deposited for a few months now. I don't think they've received 2K reservations yet - have they?

    @Anthony and TheGreenAutos, the article states available in Nov. 2011, right? If this is correct (and I understand this is just an estimate), how would "another year at the earliest" be correct? If it arrives in Nov. 2011, that's 2-3 months from now. Or do you mean as a national rollout, perhaps?
    No criticism intended at all, just trying to get this clarified. Partially since my Volt is finally almost ready and I have to decide by Monday if I want it or something else soon. Thanks!

    You'll note those comments were posted back in 2010. This particular article is being continually updated, so the comments aren't as new as the most recent content.

    I would much rather have a Nissan leaf then this thing. Tesla Model S is the pick of the litter but at $57,000 or $49,500 with the Federal tax credit.
