Using the accelerator - drive smoothly, accelerate gently and
read the road ahead. Your real-time energy consumption
is displayed at the power meter. Try to keep the red needle
within the green Eco zone. When your foot is off the
accelerator or you are braking (regenerating energy), the red
needle should be in the blue Charge zone.
Freeway driving - use Eco mode and try to maintain a
consistent speed. The faster you go, the greater the energy
consumption and less overall range.
Uphill driving – use D mode and try to carry as much speed
(momentum) from the flat section of the road up the hill as
possible to avoid having to accelerate in the middle of the hill.
While decelerating - try to take your foot off the accelerator
as early as possible. The moment you take your foot off the
pedal, the vehicle will start regenerating electricity which is
especially effective while driving downhill in B mode.
Extending Your Driving Range
Shift position
Selecting the most suitable shift position will help extend your driving range.
D- is the standard mode and provides full power access and normal regenerative braking
Eco- slightly reduces overall power thus conserving energy and slightly increasing regenerative braking
B- provides full power with the strongest calibration of regenerative braking

Charge Overview
CHARGING YOUR MITSUBISHI i
The Mitsubishi i can be charged anytime. However, repeatedly charging the vehicle’s battery
when it is almost full may decrease the battery’s overall lifespan.
There are three different levels of charging your Mitsubishi i.
Level 1 charging is based on using a standard rated A/C 120 Volt outlet.
1) Fully apply the parking brake and place the selector lever in the P - (Park) position.
2) Turn off the headlights and turn the key to the Lock position.
3) Pull the Level 1 / Level 2 charging opener located at the bottom left of the instrument
panel to open the regular charging lid at the rear passenger side of the vehicle.
4) Remove the key and lock the vehicle.
5) The Regular Charging Lid will be open. Press the tab to open the inner lid providing
access to the charge port.
6) Insert the charging cable plug into a standard 120 Volt outlet rated for 15 amps or more.
Warning - make sure the outlet is on a dedicated circuit which is not shared with any
other appliances. Also check the outlet to confirm there is no rust or corrosion.
Note: You cannot connect the charger cord into an extension cord. Please ensure you have a Garage Site Survey
completed before plugging in an EV into any outlet in your home or garage. Use a hook and a rope that can support
the weight of the EV charging cable, 8.8 lbs (4 kg) as shown in the figure to the right. Make sure that the rope has no
damage before use.
7) Open the cap on the regular charge connector and make sure there is no foreign matter such as dust or dirt on the end
of the connector.
8) Connect the regular charge connector to your Mitsubishi i until you hear a click. You will also hear a fan turn on briefly.
9) Make sure the charging indicator on the Mitsubishi i’s instrument cluster is illuminated.
10) Charging is complete when the charging indicator light turns off.
11) Remove the connector while pressing the button on the top of the connector.
12) Close the inner lid and the regular charging door.
13) Remove the charging cable plug from the outlet and store appropriately for future use.
Level 2
You can charge your vehicle through the regular charging port using 240 Volt Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) compatible
with the Mitsubishi i. For connecting/disconnecting the charging connector to or from the vehicle, follow steps 1-12 (omitting #6) as
outlined above. Also, please follow instructions provided with the 240 EVSE.
For further information, please refer to the General Information Section in your Owner’s Manual under Charging. Please pay particular
attention to instructions, warnings, and cautions in the Owner’s Manual.

Q: Will my battery’s capacity decrease over time?
A: The capacity of the lithium-ion battery used as the main drive lithium-ion battery on your Mitsubishi i, like other commonly used lithium-
ion batteries, will decrease according to time and usage. This type of decrease in battery capacity is normal, and is not indicative of
any defect or failure in your main drive lithium-ion battery.
Q:Can I charge when it is raining or stormy?
A: To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly grounded and waterproofed outlet. Never connect or disconnect the
plug with a wet hand.
Q:How can I tow my car?
A: Do not tow this vehicle with rear wheels on the ground at any time. Please see additional information in your Owner’s Manual.
Q:What do I do if I need to store my Mitsubishi i for a long period of time?
A: Do not disconnect the battery or any of the i’s cables. Make sure the battery’s Energy Level Gauge shows 2-4 bars and make sure all
lights are turned off. Do not leave the battery charged with more than 4 bars as this may severely decrease the main drive battery’s
overall lifespan. Check the battery residual every 3 months and if you see any discharge, please charge to 2-4 bars. Try to avoid storage
in a hot or cold environment.
Q:Where can I find charging stations?
A: You can find charging stations near you by logging on to the US Department of Energy’s Website at www.afdc.energy.gov.
Q:Why does my Mitsubishi i Energy Level show bars but the engine won’t start?
A: Even though your main drive battery displays a charge, your 12 volt battery may be drained and in need of charging. Your 12 volt
battery provides the power to start up the main battery.
Q:What does this light mean?
A: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System gives you information to help maintain your tire pressure. Please note that changes in the
outside temperature may decrease tire pressure causing the TPMS light to turn on. If the TPMS light remains illuminated, check
your tire pressure.
Q:What do I do if I need Roadside Assistance?
A: For Roadside Assistance, call 1-888-648-7820.
Q:Where do I get my Mitsubishi i serviced?
A: Only Mitsubishi i authorized dealers are factory trained to service your vehicle.
