It was around a century ago that Ford and other fossil fuel powered vehicles put the electric vehicles out of business with their awesome new cars powered by gasoline and it seems ironic that the same big shots are now being forced to turn towards electric vehicles with the way the planet and its environment are dictating terms to us today. Electric Vehicles are back and with superior technology at disposal of modern designers, they are sure here to stay this time around.
Gas prices in the market are really high, that’s why car manufacturers did not stop developing a car that will serve as an alternative on our current model that slurp large amount of gases daily. Just like the new all MINI Cooper electric car by BMW. This car is in compliance to California’s strict emission regulations, wherein car manufacturers are required to build and release zero emission vehicles in the state. The new Mini sure looks cool too with its simple and to an extent traditional design.
Unlike the outlandish concept car designs and the more sleek and sexy modern car designs, the Mini looks more like a traditional electric carrier that might not scorch the road but it will also not burn a hole in your pocket with the soaring oil prices. But this is a limited edition project from BMW meaning not all will drive in one of these and that explains the very special, almost retro look of the car! Very impressive indeed.

a MINI by BMW what a combination. hopefully it doesn’t lessen the cars power. I never knew that electric came first of fuel powered vehicles. Autopartswarehouse already has parts for hybrids.
Electric vehicles are sure the future and the REV ones are really good. It is pretty powerful and will more than do for city commuting, which is what it most likely caters to. The MINI has a real good look to it though and that is something that really caught our eye...
