There are plans to bring in a battery-powered Mini into the US, although plans have not yet been finalized. There is no confirmation on the type of battery used in the car if this rumor is proved true, but Mini will be making an announcement later this year concerning its position, presumably somewhere near or at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Other details such as whether these electric-powered vehicles will be leased or sold, or the number of quantity produced are unavailable, leaving the answers open to speculation. I want to know what the performance figures are for an electric-powered Mini compared to a stock version.
