Australia’s First Ever Electric Vehicle Fast Charger to be Installed at Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) will unveil Australia’s first ever fast charge electric vehicle recharging station later this month in Adelaide to service Mitsubishi’s innovative electric i-MiEV.

Located at MMAL headquarters in Clovelly Park, Adelaide, the Level 3 Electric Vehicle DC Fast Charge System will provide fast and convenient charging for the i-MiEV, one of the world’s first truly viable zero drive-time emission city commuter vehicles.

MMAL has worked with motoring club product and service supply company Club Assist to bring the latest electric car re-charging technology to Australia.

The Fast Charger charges the i-MiEV’s Lithium-ion battery to 80 percent capacity in just 30 minutes and a 50 percent charge is completed in under 12 minutes. The battery can also be charged from a normal 15 amp domestic household power supply, taking about seven hours to reach full capacity.

President and CEO of MMAL, Masahiko Takahashi, said he is thrilled to bring Australia’s first ever Fast Charger to Mitsubishi customers.
