Standard portable charging cable
(120V)
Requires 15-Amp (minimum) dedicated
outlet
The Mitsubishi i includes a convenient,
portable charging cable that plugs into a standard 120V household outlet (the
very same outlet you would use for a toaster, television, lamp, etc.). From
empty, the 120V charging method gives you a nice, full battery in about 22.5
hours.
Prior to charging your Mitsubishi i on a standard
household 120V outlet, it's important to make sure that outlet is rated for at
least 15 amperes. Our home inspectors can easily check that for you, or you can
consult a certified electrician. Remember, you should consider a home
electrical inspection as standard procedure before you purchase any electric
car. Be safe out there. |

Optional home charging dock
(240V, EVSE)
Requires purchase and
installation
This is our recommendation for fast
and convenient home charging. Developed by Eaton, a global leader in electrical
components, the 240V wall-mounted quick-charger gives you a full charge in just
six hours. Essentially, the 240V charger is your own personal
"fueling" station.
Better yet, the federal
government is offering tax credits up to $1,000 * for those who purchase the
240V home charging dock. That's in addition to the $7,500 * tax credit for
buying the Mitsubishi i. And then there's all that money you won't be spending
on gas. The good news just keeps piling up around here.
