Another electric car announcement

Ireland's electric car odyssey continues. The latest point in the journey will be marked today with an announcement by Minister Eamon Ryan of a new partnership between the Irish Government and Mitsubishi and ESB's first electric car trial.

At the announcement in Trinity College will be ESB Chief Executive Padraig McManus; President of Mitsubishi Motors Europe, Akinoro Nakanishi; and
President of Mitsubishi Corporation Automobile Europe, Tomoo Yoshikawa.

Mitsubishi's first mass-produced electric car, the i-MiEV, is a city car.
