Test Drive of New Electric MINI E

[sockosockosocko]

almost nobody will charge during the day. it's very easy to charge at night. and with nightly charging, the grid could handle 84% of ALL our cars without one additional plant. -2007 DOE study

How many MPG does this thing get?

[TakayaFreeman]

0 MPG. MPC? (Miles per charge) 120-ish.

[evric2008]

120 miles is great !

[CruiseMaster78]

we have 2 hummers and we love them. we fill safe in them . them little coke cans with wheels are not safe.our life means more than saving gas.

[madashelldude]

LOL! no one wants to take your stupid hummers away, you can keep'em until gasoline will cost so much you'll have to make a choice between paying your bills for the month or running your dumbass gas guzzler for 5 miles to the mall and back ;)

[CruiseMaster78]

LOL! i did not say anybody wanted to take my hummers away and yes i WILL keep them. we get 20 to 24 miles a gallon with them. no they ARE NOT DUMBASS GAS GUZZLERS. we pay our bills every month and if gas goes up to $10.00 a gallon we will just pay it NO PROBLEM AT ALL. WE LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, OUR LIVES MEAN ALOT MORE THAN SAVING GAS BY DRIVING A COKE CAN WITH WHEELS.

[madashelldude]

No Hummer can get 24 MPG. If you ONLY drive them on hwys you can get 18. It's more like 12-15 MPG in real life.

Besides, real men drive Harleys and only girls and drunks think tonnage equals safety or that safety is on top of the list when considering a vehicle purchase ;)

Check out a 2009 Volvo S40 4-DR. w/SAB a small car that's safer than a Hummer.

Hummer is not even on the 2009 IIHS list ;)

yes our hummers does get 20 to 24 MPG. i have PROOF. if you speed you will not get 20 to 24. we don't speed that is why we can get 20 to 24 MPG again i have proof. we have 1 volvo and yes it is a real good car and yes SAB are made very good,they are safe but not safer than a hummer..i am not hear to fuss with you i'm not a girl and i don't drink but tonnage does equals safety and i am a real man.

[sockosockosocko]

great. as you gain safety you increase the danger of driving for all the rest of us. i think that's kinda selfish.

[CruiseMaster78]

you are wrong. i'm not increasing danger to no one. We all need to think about our safety. No i'm not selfish at all.

[JRIPx]

That's one very shallow comment...

[clearwater04]

now how much is it and will it ever be out for the public is the question

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

It's great to know Dr. Van Nostand likes it, but how about Kal Varnsen, Art Vandalay, or H.E. Pennypacker?

[tonmagicwon]

i have 2 hummers with turbos,,just kidding

[amberwawas]

What i don't get is he keeps saying push on the gas. Gas pedal. It would be an accelerator pedal. That car has no gas!!!

[RWL2011]

@amberwawas "accelerator" on its own has 2 more syllables than "gas pedal" - gas pedal is easier to say!

[Sunnray]

Range of 120 miles is weak. Kinda limited to city driving too.

[oilhammer04]

People can set timers for charging their vehicles in the early morning hours when electricity use is low.

[EASPORTSHOCKEYMAN]

i like the key hole its cool

[oilhammer04]

Good, honest look at an electric vehicles.
