Here you have it folks, it’s the Mini E, or the first electric and electric only Mini. You will get 204 hp of an electric motor similar to the Tesla. The E will get a range of 150 miles off the 35 kWh lithium-ion battery it carries. It reaches 60 miles in a little over 8 seconds and you only need to have it plugged in for 2.5 hours to have it fully charged.
The car will be launched at the LA Auto Show later next month and BMW is planning to lease 500 units to commercial and private customers in California, New York and Jersey early next year. Interested in one? Get in line then. The Mini E might be just the car for me…
