Excitement Grows

MINI held their Los Angeles event on May 5th. Response by attendees on various blogs and forums has been enthusiastic. Some even said they were going to bow out until they went to the event. The LA Times printed an interesting article, “Mini E lease program has electric vehicle fans all charged up,” on May 11th. It explains America’s sudden excitement about electric cars.

Now that the US Automakers’ political power is waning, small companies are able to finally compete without fear of expensive lawsuits from the “Big Three.”

MINI E Pioneer Business Card

As for me, I’m psyched for the New York Event tomorrow. I can’t wait to meet the other MINI E Pioneers in the area. Attendees at the LA Event talked about the possibility of charging up at each others’ homes to increase range when getting together with other MINI owners for a drive. I’d like to do that here, too. Otherwise, my MINI E will be unable to get very far off of Long Island.

To save time and effort, I’ve created a MINI E Pioneer business card with my email and blog addresses. I’d like to eventually replace the picture with one of me in my own MINI E.

I’ll be back later in the week to post about the event and share some pictures. If you’re attending the New York Event, please stop by and introduce yourself. It’s going to be a fun night.
