People had the opportunity to see -- and experience -- the newest concept car from Mitsubishi Motors, the i-MiEV, or Intelligent Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Car at Boston's.
- Looking inside the back of i-MiEV, the box on the left is actually a computer that makes the car function. On the right, is an AC/DC converter, which converts the AC power from your house into DC energy for the vehicle.

- A shot from inside as the i-MiEV is taken for a test drive
- It's not a transmission, it's a shifter -- this controls the amount of electrical energy the i-MiEV uses

- It looks like a gas filling, but that's a plug charging the car with electricity!
- And from there...
- The i-MiEV is given a 110 volt charge with electricity from the Boston's dealership building. It can be fully recharged in 14 hours -- or just 14 minutes with a quick charge!
