MotorWeek reviews the MINI E
Here's a quick little video review of the MINI E from the folks at MotorWeek. They don't like the strong regen unlike most MINI E drivers who love it. I'd attribute that to the short time they spent with the car. After a day or two of driving I'd guess they'd change their mind. The strong regen is one of my favorite features of the car. I'll hit 30k in a couple of days.

Saved $323.00 at LAX!
As many folks know, if you drive your electric vehicle to LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) and park in either P2 or P6 on the arrival level (there are designated charging areas) you can park for up to 30 days at a time for free. The normal charge is $30.00 a day. Since the MINI E is a little light on storage capacity you must pack accordingly. However, we were able to pack what we needed for 10 days in Italy for my wife and I with room to spare. The trip was fantastic and paying $0.00 to park for a little over 10 days was great!

Front tires keep spinning & GE leads the EV charge!
It seems lately that I just can't stop spinning the front tires. Perhaps the electricity of late has been extra pure, kinda like premium gasoline. :) As the 28,000 mile mark quickly approaches, the car is as fun to drive today as day one. I seem to be getting more thumbs up of late too. Perhaps all the press coverage of the various electric cars in the pipeline are finally getting folks attention.
Speaking of the press, was very happy to see this article about GE, my employer.
Getting vehicles out on the road is a big step in gaining acceptance with the folks who remain skeptical about how the vehicle would fit into their life. I have a feeling that the sales people GE intends to drive these vehicles will find themselves shopping for an electric vehicle of their own sooner than later.
