“We were the first automaker to put 450 electric vehicles on US roads for daily use,” said BMW manager of electric vehicle operations and strategy North America Rich Steinberg.
“We have gained so much insight into living with an EV with our MINI E pioneers over the last year. Partners such as the City of New York’s Mayor’s Office, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and Southern California Edison have also been critical to the success of the programme.”
The BMW ActiveE field trials will start in Summer 2011.
