The thought of being a lab rat never held much appeal for us, but if you were to replace running on that wheel for endless hours with riding in an innovative new vehicle, we just might bite. The Mini-E is looking for a few good drivers to take their groundbreaking, 100% electric, zero emissions model for a spin. Did we say a few? We meant 500. The Mini-E Field Trial offers environmental enthusiasts and technology fanatics the chance to get a first hand experience in shaping the electric car revolution by taking a year long test drive of this lithium-ion battery powered subcompact. By agreeing to lease the car for one year, participants will play an integral role in the improvement of technology by answering key questions related to how these cars could better complement our day to day lives. If you have the pioneering spirit and want to be a part of automotive history, we recommend heading over to the MINI website and filling out an application now.
