MiEV Presentation

An interesting part I like about EEE(Electrical and Electronics Engineering) is its variety..There're lots of stuff I can learn from by taking this course. C programming, design and management process, machine labs, electronics, engineering mathematics... and lots of fun stuff.. The electrical and computer department organised a presentation on MiEV in the machine lab on Monday and I got the chance to see the future of sustainable energy by the innivation of highly efficient electric car.. MiEV stands for Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle.. This car will be introduced into NZ sustainable transportation options by Meridian and Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand..

MiEV


According to the presntation given by a tecnical engineer,Hayden Scott-Dye, from Electrical Vehicle Programme, Meridian Energy, this MiEV employs a highly energy efficient electric motor powered by recycled lithium-ion batteries and hence, producing no emission, making it one of the most sustainable transportation options. Besides, this car substantially creates less vibration and noise than the petrol powered car. Battery-powered vehicle was proven to have far greater torque and yields stronger acceleration..
