The electric Mini-E is finally on its way
The new all-electric Mini E by BMW is finally on its way, and it sure is a cutie! I've always liked Minis but now that this one takes gas prices out of the equation I think I'm officially in love. Besides its exterior design and snazzy paint job (notice the "gas cap"), the car has a lithium ion battery snuggled under the hood that takes only 2 1/2 hours to charge and provides plenty of get-up-and-go (204hp) that lasts for up to 150 miles before you need to plug in and recharge.
The only downside seems to be that there will be only 500 Mini Es available in California, New York, and New Jersey so if you want one you'll have to act fast and fill out one of the applications that will be available in about 3 weeks (mid-November).
