Whilst on the
GQ website the other day I saw an BMQ advertisement calling for field testers for the new Mini E and I got all excited. Considering I don't live in the London area and I don't have a driving license I'm not sure why. I think it's because despite the fact they say it's an experiment I don't believe it'll stay that way...as long as they can get the price right. This is the first practical, entirely electric, zero emissions car. This has got to be a good development. I mean think about it...no paying for petrol! What more of an incentive could you want?
The Mini E and its entirely electric engine:
There are some issues...a lack of backseats and the fact they'll only manage 100-120 miles per full charge...though this won't be a problem for commuters. There's also the fact there'll only be 40 in the UK for testing...It's pretty amazing though that they've designed an eco-friendly car that's still 100% Mini. In other words great fun to drive. (Yes...despite not having passed my driving test I have driven a Mini!) I'd get applying soon if you fit the criteria. Check out details on the
Mini E Field Test website.
