In case you've missed the Mitsubishi i MiEV at the half-dozen auto shows it has graced over the last several years, it's an all-electric car that the company has been developing with full production in mind. It's expected to go into fleet use this summer and Mitsubishi has said that it plans worldwide consumer sales shortly thereafter.
In a bid to shore up confidence in its pint-size crossover thing, Mitsubishi has released this video of the vehicle undergoing various reliability tests. You've got your "high speed" oval run, slalom test, rough road test and even a deep water crossing.

I like the "rough road testing". It may be the smoothest dirt road that I've ever seen.
I also like the "cold start testing". It's an electric motor. It's going to start. Also, did they intentionally frost the exterior so it would "look" cold? Why is nothing else in the room frosted?
