🏷️ Basic Information Identification Make: Mitsubishi Model: i-MiEV Model Full Name: Mitsubishi i-MiEV IMIEV Year Range Covered: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 Codes Chassis Code: HA1W Platform Code: MC Platform (shared with later generation Mitsubishi i) 👋 Introduction Market Position Market Position: The Mitsubishi i-MiEV was one of the earliest mass-produced, highway-legal all-electric vehicles, targeting urban commuters and early adopters of EV technology. It competed with other early EVs and small, efficient gasoline-powered city cars. Competitive Analysis Competitive Analysis: Positioned as a unique, compact, and eco-friendly urban transport solution. Its distinctive 'kei car'-inspired tall and narrow design provided surprising interior space for its footprint but also limited its appeal in larger markets compared to more conventional vehicles. Competitors included the Nissan Leaf (though launched slightly later and with a larger battery/range), and various small hatchbacks. Key Features Key Features: All-electric powertrain, compact urban-friendly design, rear-wheel drive, distinctive styling, focus on low-emission transportation. 📋 Manual Details Coverage Areas Coverage Areas: Comprehensive service, repair, troubleshooting, electrical diagnostics, bodywork, and technical information Page Count Page Count: Not specified in product information, typical for full service manuals is 1000+ pages.
