MINI e mobility

The BMW Group today announced at the Washington Auto Show the first results from a comprehensive study conducted in cooperation with the University of California (UC Davis) and consumers leasing MINI E electric vehicles as part of a year-long program to acquire real world use patterns.

* The range of about 100 miles is sufficient for most daily needs

* Charging at home provides enough energy for most daily driving

* Demand for additional charging is centered on the place of work, or where sufficient time is spent during the day (shopping centers, stadiums, etc.)

* Driving the MINI E is a delightful experience and there is no sacrifice of “real car” values

* Unmet demands focus on having enough space for four passengers and more cargo to stimulate even more use of an electric vehicle

This vehicle is scheduled to be introduced just before the mid-point of this decade.
