Posted by Lloyd On October - 25 - 2010 1 COMMENT

Electric Mini CooperThe Brit based Mini Cooper is back and now wants to take command of the electric car space.

They’ve just recently tested their 100% electric Mini Cooper.  The car has remained the same as it’s gas counterpart, just the engine has been replaced with an electric one.

With everyone slowly entering the electric car marketing, its getting us excited to see which manufacturer trumps this arena.

Key Specs about this car:

1) It can travel 100-156 miles on a single charge

2) Charges in 4.5 hrs on an 32 Amp power of 10.5 on a standard home power system.

3) It has a 198 horsepower. WOW.

4) Can do 0-62 in 8.5 seconds.  Not bad :)

5) Expect it out with a lease cost of $330 a month.  Although, no release date has been set.
