Mini E Just Start of BMW EV Push - After Mini E customer testing, BMW executive says days of range anxiety 'are long gone'

摘要

IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE BMW AG began leasing 600 electric Mini E coupes, and since then the initiative has generated invaluable information the auto maker is using to prepare the launch of its second EV, the ActiveE, next year. Based on a 2-door BMW 1-Series, the ActiveE will seat four adults, whereas the Mini E had room for only two, as the backseat and cargo area were filled with massive battery packs weighing hundreds of pounds. Unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the ActiveE represents BMW's next steps toward "CO_2-free mobility."
