TOKYO -- Mitsubishi Motors will set up quick charge stations for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids at all of its 700 dealerships nationwide by March 2016. The Japanese automaker wants to promote green vehicles which are selling slowly and whose future is overshadowed by lower crude oil prices.
The quick chargers, which will be mostly available 24 hours a day, can recharge about 80% of a car battery in half an hour. Users will have to pay only 1,000 yen ($8.27) a month if they have industry-wide membership cards.
