Electric power has come to drag racers, hill-climb cars, and Formula E racers. Why not rally cars?

Unlike the winged sedan that took the off-road rally racing world by storm 15 years ago...

The Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid is something of a missing link in the market for plug-in cars. There are finally plenty of choices for those who want to dispense with gas entirely and buy a small hatchback. Several electric SUVs are coming, but the only one that really lives up to the...

Think back, if you can, to early 2008. In the real world, that's just 10 years ago, but in electric-car time, it's several millennia.

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car deserves a place in history. It was arguably the first mass-produced modern electric car put on sale, well before the Nissan Leaf arrived in December 2010.
