Automaker Mini, with help from BMW, have developed the Mini E. It is fitted with a 150-kilowatt electric motor that produces 204 horsepower, a high-performance lithium-ion battery pack (good for 150 miles on a full charge) and a single-stage helical gearbox that sends the power out to the front wheels. From a standing start, it will hit 60 mph in about 8.5 seconds; and reach a maximum speed of 95 mph.
Announced at the L.A. Auto show yesterday, the automaker has plans to release 500 electric vehicles for long term testing. If you live in the Los Angeles or New York City metro areas, you're in luck!
