The all-electric MINI will hit Berlin! November 26, 2008

BMW and Swedish power group Vattenfall will launch a pilot project next year to test the feasibility of electric cars in Berlin. BMW will provide 50 electric MINI models while Vattenfall Europe will establish a network of charging points throughout the German capital, a joint statement said. "We want to know how typical customers drive an electric vehicle in all day use," BMW chairman Norbert Reithofer said in the statement as the project was presented to the German environment ministry. "We also want to have a realistic view of the technology's potential," he said. So, if you live in Berlin you have got a good chance to spot a MINI E in 2009!
