4 miles for every hour plugged in, that is the annoying thing about how they present that info, if you are charging from 120v it doesn't take 20 hours unless you drove the full 82 mile range! if you drove half the range it takes 10 hours, if you drove 20 miles it will take 5 hours!
It's pretty clear that it's based off a gasoline vehicle and that they are trying to keep costs down, the transmission I assume is there to allow for a smaller electric motor and to help increase range but I see it being a weak point.
having an ignition like slot for a key by not having it rotate is just weird! the Mitsubishi i-MiEV has a key and you turn it like you are starting an engine to power up the drive electronics, it's what people are used to and it's a smooth action.
