Electric Mini Cooper
1 of 4 from Photos: Electric and hybrid cars hit the streets
The Fortune Brainstorm Green business conference last week had a handful of cutting-edge electric vehicles on display.
The Electric Mini will start being leased to customers in California next month. Unlike a hybrid, the Electric Mini runs entirely on batteries. A driver can get about 100 miles of driving from a full charge. But that range comes at a cost: the batteries take up most of the back seat.
