2012 BMW Mini Electric: The sporty, speedy Electric Mini Cooper currently is zipping around New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles. The company hopes that the experience will excite customers, who will then pass along the positive experience of driving the all-electric car to other potential buyers. Although there are only two highway-legal electric vehicles on U.S. roads, unless you can afford the $110,000 Tesla Roadster, the electric Mini Cooper is probably going to be more your speed.
With new EV and plug-in hybrid makes and models to enter the market later in 2010 and in 2011, BMW may be out of the gate with extra traction towards market share. As of the date of this publication, you cannot yet purchase a Mini E. However, the lucky few that were chosen for the special BMW lease program will likely become effective spokespersons for the new EV when it hits the market. With more than 100 miles per charge and zero tailpipe emissions, there are sure to be plenty of potential buyers interested in the EV.
