Calling an EV a Major Home Appliance

Posted December 04, 2010 7:00 AM

Mitsubishi Motors and Bic Camera are working together to market the i-MiEv in the latter's retail appliance stores in Japan. Bic Camera's president classifies EVs as a type of home electrical appliance. Is that innovative marketing or what? What's your opinion?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Appliance Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Appliance Technology today.

Would it be possible to get this translated into English? What is an EVs? What is an i-MIEv? What has this got to do with either Bic Camera (any relation to the Bic cigarette lighter, or the Bic ballpoint pen?) or Mitsubishi Motors? What is it that makes a motor company and a camera company bed-mates? I would really like to understand some of this, but this little teaser does absolutely nothing to sate my curiosity...

Absolutely support cwarner7 here, using initials/capitals rather than names or words is in-group behaviour, if you want to sell your product you need to communicate to the world, not your colleagues, - leave the alphabet soup to the kindy programs, - even there it is rarely well done..

I agree. Why would anyone give a rip about this?

[Just like a lot of these "sneak peek" teasers.]

If you have a big enough home theater, an EV is a minor appliance.

Your sacked!

Lower that nose, you will otherwise walk into something. I am not interested in it, whatever it turns out to be.
