It’s said that all good things come to an end, and so it is with our field trial test of our BMW Active E, Buzz. It’s hard to believe that two years (25 months, if we’re being specific) have already zipped by. Doesn’t seem possible. When we signed up to participate in the Active E…
It’s hard to believe, but we’re just about to enter the last third of our 2-year experiment with Buzz, our all-electric BMW ActiveE.
