From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Peugeot has started taking what it describes as pre-reservations for its i0n electric car, which is expected to be introduced at the end of 2010. Although private customers can register their interest, it seems that the i0n is initially being aimed mainly at company and local government fleets.
Peugeot has considerable experience of electric vehicles – the electric version of the Peugeot 106 sold between 1995 and 2003 is still claimed to be the best-selling electric car ever – but in the case of the i0n, it is leaning on its links with Mitsubishi Motor Corporation.
The i0n is the second vehicle sourced by Peugeot from Mitsubishi in order to fill a gap in its range; the first was the 4007 SUV, which is based on the Mitsubishi Outlander.
