The All Electic MINI IS Coming
By JayCogen
Editor’s Note– While it didn’t make our 13 Gasoline-Free Supercars list yesterday, this is some pretty cool news on its own!
An all new, all Electric MINI is set to be revealed at next month’s auto show in LA. The MINI E, as they are calling it, will look like any other MINI but will have plug logos all over it so you won’t forget it’s electric and try to put gas in it. The MINI E has a claimed 0-62 in 8.9 seconds and a 150 mile range per charge which is actually very practical. 204 hp and 164 lb-ft of torque at idle ain’t too shabby either. A two and half hour charge time is estimated by plugging into a standard power outlet but a high amperage wallbox will be supplied to give it the juice it needs. One car company needed to step up and deliver a practical all electric car. It’s only logical that MINI would start it off. [via ButteyBlend]
