We just received an e-mail from MINI USA informing us that the company has opened the application phase for the all-electric MINI E field trial. Unfortunately none of us could apply as we don't live in the designated New York City, New Jersey or LA Metro areas. But even if we did, you'd have to be extremely lucky to be among the 500 people that MINI will hand-pick to lease the vehicle for a year. For those of you that meet the criteria and would like to participate, we must warn you that MINI says the application form is relatively long and could take at least an hour to complete. If chosen, MINI will ask you to sign a closed-end 1-year, $850 per month lease.Click here for more information and pictures of the 204HP all-electric MINI E that made its debut at the LA Auto Show.Link: MINI E Application
