My MINI E
My experiences testing MINI’s new all-electric vehicle around Long Island
They picked me!
MINI is field testing their new all-electric vehicle, the MINI E. They accepted applications in late 2008 looking for test subjects. On a lark, I applied. On March 16, 2009, I was notified that I was chosen as one of the 500 US drivers who will have one year to play with... er... test the MINI E. This is a record of my experiences.

Hey thanks for stopping by with the new car today. Very interesting and exciting to see the new technology in action before my very own eyes. Hope to see it again in the near future. JeffHi! I am Mini E 276 in South Orange, NJ, My cable AND PSEG meter is in (and inspected) and all is great. Will be in Montclair tomorrow for lunch with several Mini E testers - come on over, we can give you a charge to get home.Hello Stu -I think I met you briefly at the NYC event? Anyways, I've been driving #217 for a week now, over 300 miles, and so far just 2 brief acknowledgements - so I know how you feel! My guess is that it's going to take a little time for people to realize - for now, they clearly just assume it's a MINI.Cliff with #249 here on LI Stop by for a charge (when I get the cable)Hi! No. 035 here. We received our Mini-E on Tuesday. Having a blast with it. Our 4 year old daughter keeps thanking my husband for "her car". The car is great and super peppy. Hope you get to enjoy yours soon!Just a quick introduction...Wasn't Wednesday @ the IAC event great? We live in Ossining (just north of the Tappan Zee Bridge) and will be happy to be a 'charging station' with a little prior notice. My husband owns an historic racing car restoration shop (www.hudsonhistorics.com) where we have a dynomometer, so it'll be fun to get the mini on that! We had our electrical inspection the other day, so we are that much closer to the anticipated arrival. Next Wednesday is our scheduled test drive at the dealer.Hi, my name is Klaus. Originally, as all Klauses, I am from Germany. I was picked for the Mini E Trial back in the beginning of February.Thank you for visiting my blog. I'd like to know who my guests are. Won't you please sign my guestbook and let me know a little about yourself and your interests? Thanks. -Stu
