BMW Active-E Electric Car Debut ::

BMW debuted the new ActiveE electric 1-series concept at the Detroit International Auto Show.  The ActiveE concept is all electric. Similar to the Mini E electric car, the ActiveE is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor that stumps up 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. BMW claims 0-60 in less than nine seconds. The car is powered by a chained-together group of laptop batteries – quite similar to how the Tesla Roadster is set up.
