DRIVING MY $750 ELECTRIC CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME!

EV Channels Review

Kyle takes possession of a 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, acquired for a mere $750, after it was revived from a junkyard state by Alex from the Out of Spec Renew channel. The car's primary issue was a single dead battery cell, which was successfully replaced, bringing the vehicle back to life. The reviewer highlights the i-MiEV's quirky design, rear-wheel-drive configuration, and surprisingly brisk acceleration for its age and class, comparing it favorably to the Nissan Leaf of the same era. While acknowledging its cosmetic imperfections and the need for an alignment and detailing, Kyle expresses significant enthusiasm for this unique piece of EV history, especially given its low acquisition cost. The video also touches upon the car's charging capabilities, interior features, and the process of getting it registered. The reviewer concludes by expressing satisfaction with the purchase and hints at future content involving the i-MiEV.
