Mitsubishi has announced Japanese market pricing for its MiEV electric car, and it’s a staggering ¥4.38 million, or $45,660 according to Automotive News [sub]. And what does that buy you? 100 miles of lithium-ion powered range, 4 doors, a 14 hour charge time on 100-volt power (seven hours on 200 volts and 30 minutes on a high-output quick charger) and LED headlights. Unlike Subaru’s $40K+ Stella, however, the MiEV is headed stateside. Eventually. Hopefully the staggering price-point will have come down a bit by then.

Dead ringer for a Tata Nano. At 20x the price.
i would hazard a guess the tata nano would end up costing you less to run any which way you cut it
the price shown is pretty much means nothing to me without showing what other cars are for sale at that price in Japan. does a camry cost that much? is it 3-series money? 5-series money? etc etc
