With its compact footprint and pure-electric power, it’s a practical choice for cleaner driving on busy city streets. Designed to bring zero-emission driving to everyday motorists, the Mitsubishi I-MiEV stood out for its simplicity and compact shape. An early entry into the UK's all-electric market and sold through to 2016, its main draw was accessible battery-electric motoring at a time when there were few rivals except for the Nissan Leaf, the Citroen C-Zero and the Peugeot iOn – the latter two actually being based on the same design as the I-MiEV. The I-MiEV was a reworking of Mitsubishi’s ‘i’ city car but swaps petrol power for an all-electric drive. It’s easy to manoeuvre, with a surprisingly spacious cabin for its size and a no-fuss design. Don't expect to be taking on long road trips with any early all-electric car, especially not one designed specifically for shorter trips. But if you need convenient, fuss-free travel in town, the I-MiEV remains a straightforward option – though later EVs are a step up for comfort and refinement.
