Great to hear about the Min-E Cooper!
I didn't care to hear it's specs listed as a negative.
"The MINI E demonstrates again that battery technology is still lacking when it comes to energy density. Along with giving up two seats and several hundred miles of range, the electric MINI also weighs in at 550 lbs more than the gas powered Cooper S."
They are comparing the RANGE of a gas car to an electric version!
I would be EXSTATIC to have an electric car that can go 150 miles!!!
It still bugs me that everything is always compared to gas! I didn't notice anywhere in there about how much more efficient electric is or how much it helps air quality or any of the other advantages of EVs!
The Tesla has about a 52KWh battery pack. I talked with a Tesla salesperson for about an hour this summer. The total pack size to get that 200 miles plus range was something I found impressive and memorable.
I look forward to hearing more.
