500 All Electric BMW Mini's to be leased next year...

BMW has just announced that it will be test piloting a program which will lease 500 All Electric Mini vehicles called the Mini E in California, New Jersey, New York.

The vehicles will be powered by lithium-ion batteries that have a range of 150 miles with a maximum speed of 95 mph and will go 0-60 in 8.5 seconds.

The vehicles will have the ability to be charged overnight or a special high speed wall box charger will be able to charge the batteries in 2.5 hours. The initial test vehicles will be two seaters because of the space that is needed to house the battery pack.

The vehicles will be leased for $850.00 per month which will include all maintenance.
BMW has committed itself to producing energy efficient vehicles and reducing emissions on the road.
