of the all-electric mini cooper car review

Me and the Mini-e: Ken Kuhl gives a review of the new Mini-e (All-Electric Mini Cooper).

Here is the most distinctive characteristic of driving the Mini-e: when you take your foot off the gas the car immediately and dramatically begins to slow down.

This is BMW’s technique for getting the maximum re-charge for the battery while driving.

It is the first and last thing the Mini Cooper reps tell you about before you get behind the wheel of a Mini-e.

The decrease in speed when you take your foot off the gas is so dramatic, in fact, that the brake lights come on as you start to slow down even though you're not using the brake.
