Yesterday I received via e-mail the first of what will be a weekly MINI E Field Trial newsletter called PLUGGED-IN. Kudos to Mini for keeping us field trial participants informed and engaged.
Key points shared in the newsletter:
- that there is a newsletter and we’ll now be getting it weekly
- wall box inspections have started on the West coast and will start on the East coast shortly
- there’s been a delay in the production of the cable for the wall box but they’ll still be installing the boxes and will then come back to install the cable once it’s available
- due to the cable production delay, the cars won’t be available until May at the earliest
- final tidbit was that the pictures in the media of the MINI E with the decals (side graphics) on the side are the auto show cars. The MINI E’s in the field trial will not have those side graphics
My reactions:
- Was glad to hear from MINI and get the update
- Was not surprised about the pushing back of the delivery date because it aligns well with what my contact at Morristown MINI told me last week
- Thinking that my electrical service will need to be upgraded because I think we run 110v to the garage and the charging stations requires 240v
I’m very much looking forward to the arrival of my MINI E!
