The MINI E seems to become quite popular. The car received a huge endorsement from the City of New York. The BMW group will loan 10 electric MINIs to the City of New York for the SCOUT program or Street Condition Observation Unit. The MINIs will arrive this spring and they will go into action. Each SCOUT car is doing 100 miles per day. Its mission is to monitor the problems on the streets and monitor the City’s response to 311 complaints.
The MINI has a 150 miles driving range on a charge and the 150 kW engine produces 201 hp. 500 MINIs are going to arrive in the U.S. with the first ones to be delivered in April. Besides the USA, London and Berlin will begin testing the MINI Electric soon. And who wouldn’t want to test it?
