Hey, Mitsubishi, how about asking your dealers NOT to fully-charge their i-MiEVs until they're about to be delivered to the customer? Mine had sat on the showroom floor for at least a couple of months sitting at 16 bars 100%SOC.
 
My car, when I received it, had about 2/3rds of a charge. Because of time constraints, I couldn't leave with a full charge. (My fault, not theirs.) My dealership didn't leave my vehicle at full charge for a long period of time.

That was my first-day concern: Would I have a full charge when I got home and charged it overnight? :shock: I had 7 bars out of 16 when I finally got home and immediately started charging. The next morning, I woke up to a full battery. That's about as close to range anxiety as I've ever had. Not too bad. ;)
