After rumors popped up several weeks ago that Mitsubishi and Peugeot would collaborate on a French-badged version of the iMiEV electric car in Europe, both sides vehemently denied it. Those denials can now be laid to rest as Peugeot and Mitsubishi have announced that a memorandum of understanding that should lead to the introduction of a Peugeot EV by late 2010 or early 2011. The two companies have been negotiating for more than 10 months. Mitsubishi will build the cars for Peugeot and they will be sold alongside the iMiEV in the European market. The Mitsubishi version goes on sale in Japan this summer and Europe in mid-2010. Mitsubishi still hasn't decided whether to offer the car in the U.S., although several of them are currently operating in test fleets in the U.S. now. We drove the iMiEV in New York a while back, so click here to check out our driving impressions.
