BMW already has the i3 and the i8. They have been on the road for some time now. With the eMini they are just expanding their electric line to an existing chassis.
But yeah, the European manufacturers seem to be lagging when it comes to electric automobiles. Smart has been advertising that in two years, they will be electric only, and BMW has been extolling their electric cars, but VW? Renault? Fiat? Can’t think of any electric cars in their offers at the moment.
