BMW begins limited production on all-electric Mini Cooper

In 2010, BMW will sell 500 all-electric Mini Coopers to customers in NY, NJ and CA in an effort to gauge their usage and performance in real-life traffic. The cars will be offered to specific customers only, so don't expect to get one yourself.

They'll have a 150 mile range and the backseat will be replaced by a very large lithium-ion battery. This won't make it an effective family car, but I'm fairly certain my wife will want one.
