  • The Mini E is the electric version of BMW's popular Mini automobile. Making its United States debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November of 2008, the Mini E can travel over 240 kilometers on a single charge of its batteries by using a regenerative braking system, which uses kinetic energy produced during braking to recharge the batteries. BMW will launch 500 Mini Es in the US in 2009, to be leased by users in California, New York and New Jersey for one year and then returned to BMW for testing.Economic Times: BMW MINI says the E-word (November 6, 2008)

  • Race For First Place

    Though BMW promises the Mini E will be the first mainstream all-electric automobile, it may be in for some competition from Chevrolet, whose Dodge EV is set for release in 2010.Metronews: BMW readies MINI E for world debut (November 5, 2008)PC Magazine: Chrysler provides details on new "electric cars" (September 23, 2008) BMW's Mini E will be launching in limited numbers in 2009, but users will only be able to lease the vehicles (and must return them to BMW for testing at the end of one year), which means Chrysler's Dodge EV may well be the first all-electric automobile to be available to consumers for ownership.
