Rumour: BMW to Make Full Electric Car by 2012
It is said that BMW has plans for making full electric vehicles, as new Californian laws force the cars manufacturers to have a significant electric vehicles offer for the market beginning with 2012. They plan to make Li-Ion powered car, with two seats (90% of the time only one is used in practice). The car will have an autonomy of at least 200 miles. BMW already has a tiny car model, Isetta, and rumours are that they will be producing the new electric car based on this one. Other news sources say that it will be co-branded with Smart.
Omolody, from Flickr, has already made some pictured predictions of how the new Isetta might look. One of them is shown above.

Wow are those tiny! I’m sure eventually all cars will be run by some form of electricity, but you can’t tell me the majority are going t be ready to jump into a vehicle that looks like that?
