This was bound to happen sooner or later. Take the pint-sized, driving-bliss MINI and swap the go bits for electrics. MINI has pulled the wraps off its EV version ahead of the LA Auto Show coming next month. Power comes courtesy of a 201 hp electric motor mated to a 35 kw/h lithium-ion battery pack. Unfortunately, the power storage units put a hurt on storage space out back. Naught to 60 happens in about 8 seconds and has a range of about 155 miles. BMW is building about 500 of the ‘lectric MINIs for California, and they should start popping up soon. [Source: BMW]
