Question

Wiil People Buy The Electric Mini Cooper that is being produced by BMW?

Answer 1

Maybe. It depends on how much range it has, and how much it costs. I know someone with a hybrid Prius who just got a quote of $3000 to have his batteries replaced after a little over 3 years of driving. I live in Las Vegas, and the heat out here just destroys batteries. I've never had a battery last more than 3 years in the 20 years I've lived here. Some die after only 2 years. I know the batteries in the Prius aren't liquid sulfuric acid like a car battery, but evidently they don't last any longer anyway.

Answer 2

It's only n the concept stage.  And it's California only.

Answer 3

That just depends how much they cost and what kind of range they have.  Currently there don't seem to be any details about this.

However, there are already companies converting Mini Coopers into electric cars, so clearly the demand is there.
