BMW has thrown its hat into the all-electric vehicle ring with the release of 490 e-Minis in California. The vehicles will be available for lease to a select group of customers (probably folks that can afford regular gasoline anyway) and will be identifiable by a silver and yellow paintjob. There is no word as to exactly when the e-Mini will land, but word on the street is that we can expect an announcement later this year. [Automotive News* via PopSci]
