BMW plans 500 Electric MINIs for California

The emissions-free MINIs will be silver with a yellow roof, which should stand out nicely in the land of fruits and nuts.
There are no details at this point pertaining to EV range or date of availability, but BMW claims it will make an announcement regarding electric vehicles later in the year. With all the talk of game-changing vehicles coming in the near future, we're getting the feeling that the upcoming auto show season could be one of the more memorable on record.

they already built a bunch of electric minis...they used them for The Italian Job, in the subway scene.
Im wondering, how are Minis considered "some of the most efficient vehicles for sale in the US"? they make like 30 mpg at best. lol
