…and I have to say, after riding in a friend’s gas version of it, I’ve come to see the appeal of the MINI Cooper!

So at a breakfast meeting on July 22, the vice president of MINI USA announced that by next summer, electric versions of the MINI Cooper will be available to consumers. He is unsure whether they will be leased or owned or how many they will make, but they will be available. So, for those who want another alternative for in-town travel, sounds like you may have your wish. I still personally have issues with batteries for electric cars (trip length, battery replacement, among other things), but for those communting to work, this might be a good choice!
