BMW's all electric Mini car is going to be leased in a pilot project. They are going to lease 500 of these cars in California, New Jersey and New York. I think it would be great to drive a Mini All Year Electric is the wave of the future.
It has a lithium-ion battery with a range of 150 miles. It can get up to 95 mph so it can run pretty fast. It is suppose to be able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 8 1/2 seconds, but I would have to see that to believe it. It is only available in a two seater, and it leases for $850 a month.
I think the biggest upside is that recharging the car is fairly cheap compared to a gallon of gas. They can use a standard outlet so you don't need a special plug in. You would get a wall box that would make it so you could charge the car in 2 1/2 hours. I think all in all this would be a great way to try out an all electric car!
