The i-MiEV was launched for fleet customers in Japan in July 2009, and on April 1, 2010, for the wider public. Retail sales began in the Japanese market at a price of ¥3,980,000 (~US$43,000). The electric car is eligible for government subsidies of ¥1,140,000, thus reducing the price to customers to ¥2,840,000 (~US$30,700). Sales to the public in Hong Kong began in May 2010 at a price of HK$395,000 (~US$50,631) and sales to fleet customers in Australia began in August 2010 via leasing. Cumulative global sales since July 2009 reached around 16,000 i-MiEVs by October 2011, including 4,000 units rebadged and sold as Peugeot iOn and Citroën C-ZERO by September 2011.

The i-MiEV was launched in Germany in December 2010 at a price of €34,990 (~US$51,000). Sales in the U.K. began in January 2011 at a price of GB£28,990 (~US$45,100) before the GB£5,000 Plug-in Car Grant. The i-MiEV was launched in Costa Rica in February 2011 and in Chile in May 2011. Sales in Canada are scheduled for late 2011 and U.S. sales for January 2012. The American-only version, called "i", is larger than the Japanese version and has several additional features.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV, based on the Mitsubishi i kei car, was first exhibited at the 22nd International Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exposition in Yokohama. Mitsubishi eschews the in-wheel motors (MIEV) in favour of a more conventional array of batteries, motor and inverter to replace the "rear midship" engine and fuel tank of the conventional car. Mitsubishi Motors provided three power companies with vehicles in 2006 and 2007 in order to conduct joint research to evaluate how fast-charge infrastructure may be developed for EVs. Fleet testing by five power companies was conducted in 2007. The car had a range of 130 kilometres (80 mi) for the 16 kW•h lithium-ion pack and 160 kilometres (100 mi) for the 20 kW•h pack. Top speed was 130 kilometres per hour (80 mph). Plans were announced in 2008 to sell the i-MiEV in European markets as the Peugeot iOn and Citroën C-ZERO.
