15 MINI E cars have been roaming the streets of Munich and neighboring rural districts with E.ON power until July 2010. E.ON's part in the demonstration project with BMW involved building a network of public charging stations, while ensuring that the test participants were able to recharge their cars both at home and close to work.

E.ON provided all of the cars included in the field trial with electricity-preferably generated by hydroelectric power stations without emitting carbon dioxide.

In so doing, E.ON has proved that zero-emissions e-mobility is already possible. But we are also aware of the fact that it still faces a long road to mass production. We intend to pass a milestone en route to achieving this goal with pilot projects like this. In addition, we want to collect experience: Where do our customers want to charge their cars? How do they use them? What products and price plans do we need?
