BMW has announced that 20 prototype Mini E electric cars will be on British roads from next month, as part of a research project. They will be driven by successful online applicants, as part of a six-month leasing programme that begins in December. A second round of applications will be accepted in mid-2010, with Mini seeking 20 drivers.
Below videos feature the Mini Es driving around London. Interestingly, all models are left-hand drive, as with the model seen in our February video shot in Berlin.
