After apparent success with its Mini E lease program (it was just extended indefinitely), BMW has decided to offer a similar deal for the Active E electric 1 Series. BMW officials told trade publication Automotive News that it intends to lease the Active E to customers in Europe and the United States beginning next year. Data gathered during the limited leases will help BMW as it pursues a commercially viable electric vehicle. The company says it plans to start selling a purpose-built EV in the 2014-2015 time frame.
