Over the past few weeks, the all-new BMW ActiveE has made its way into driveways and garages of BMW Electronauts. They've hit the road and hit the forum to share their excitement and stories about their new high-performance EVs:

"The car is just what I would expect from BMW. It's rock solid, has great handling, is very comfortable and the cabin is exceptionally quiet."

"As the gas prices climb, I'm thankful to be driving a 100% electric car."

"Have you test driven one yet? MEGA TORQUE!"

"It's really a great car and feels and drives like any other BMW."

"No matter what crazy stuff has happened during the day, I find that when I get behind the wheel of the ActiveE, it all melts away and the fun driving experience takes me away. Peaceful, Quiet, Fun, Fast, Exciting?it's quite the package."

This is only the beginning of the BMW ActiveE Field Trial. Visit the forum to take an exclusive look into the lives of our Electronauts, see why the BMW ActiveE is the Ultimate Driving Machine®, and help us pave the way into the future of mobility with the upcoming BMW i3 and i8 vehicles.

Hi Everyone -
So I've had my first drive in the Active E = Wow!

Now some of you might say "Ah, he's a BMW person" and of course you would be right.  For a moment though let's consider a few items that seem to be getting lost in the discussion on electric vehicles.

First and foremost an electric car isn't for everybody.  I have read a number of articles on the Active?
