CREATIVITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP IN TECHNOLOGY.
Electric driving offers new opportunities to elevate the MINI driving experience to a new level of refinement and performance. Our innovations and technologies get smarter – but it's how we use them that enables us to drive meaningful improvements and shape a more sustainable future.
POWERED BY INVENTIVENESS.
THE ELECTRIC DRIVETRAIN.
From the very beginning, MINI established itself as the definitive compact car. And the MINI 3-door Hatch is now the available with a fully electric drivetrain. MINI Electric combines our traditional creative use of space with future-oriented technology.
The high voltage lithium-ION battery is arranged in a T-shape and positioned along the length of the vehicle floor. The centre of gravity is much lower than with a petrol-driven MINI, enabling enhanced stability and agile handling. The legacy of innovation lives on. We continue telling the story.
THE DRIVE.
Dynamic yet smooth. The MINI Electric's compact system produces extremely low vibrations and lets you glide through the city in near silence.
Fast and direct. It gives you full torque immediately to deliver thrilling agility, stirring acceleration with no lag, no gearshift interruptions and a very responsive drive.
One pedal driving. You can drive almost entirely with just one pedal. Accelerate to your desired speed. And put power back into your battery every time you lift your foot up and come to a stop.
“Puts a smile on your face.”
MINI Electric drivers tell us what they love about the drive.
MINI ELECTRIC RESOLUTE EDITION IN NANUQ WHITE.
In the language of the Inuit, Nanuk means "polar bear". Nanuq White is the new body colour of the MINI Electric Resolute Edition. It is reminiscent of the light-coloured fur of these impressive animals. And the comparisons don't end there, as even in extreme sub-zero temperatures, the electric drive, high-voltage battery, power electronics and charging technology will impress with their reliably high performance.
Available soon, the new MINI Electric Resolute Edition speaks volumes at every turn – and is ready to make every moment electrifyingly memorable.
FULLY ELECTRIC BY 2030.
It's official. MINI's last ever internal combustion-engined vehicle will launch in 2025. By 2030, the MINI range will be exclusively electric.
PART ELECTRIC. FULL OF ADVENTURE.
MINI COUNTRYMAN PLUG-IN HYBRID.
The MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid offers the space and spirit you need to take on all sorts of adventures, while emitting fewer emissions along the way. It’s powered by both a combustion engine and electric motor, so you can experience an electrifying combination on both your everyday drives and extraordinary escapes.
ALL4 ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE.
The ALL4 all-wheel-drive is an intelligent torque vectoring system that maximises traction on virtually any surface. It's electrohydraulic multi-disc clutch smoothly varies the amount of drive torque distributed from the MINI TwinPower Turbo engine to the front and rear axles according to the driving situation.
That all means optimal traction, maximum stability, and even more fun cruising around corners.
MAX EDRIVE.
The optional eDrive Service from MINI Connected maximises the comfort and efficiency of your MINI Electric and MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid. While you are driving, it continuously calculates your Green Route - the most energy-efficient route you can take. View the next charging station, battery range, charging status or remaining charging time on your central display or in the MINI App.
In addition, eDrive offers extended setting options for your battery and remote the services for the practical operation of vehicle functions via your smartphone. The service also helps you to drive more efficiently by evaluating data from your last trip together with other statistics.
OTHER EV CONCEPTS.
Two other electric mobility concepts can be found on the road.
MILD HYBRIDS.
Regenerative braking recoups energy which would normally be lost when slowing down and redeploys it to boost power to your engine helping it perform more economically. You cannot charge a mild-hybrid directly via a plug at home or a public charger.
FUEL CELL EVS – POWERED BY HYDROGEN.
Hydrogen fuel cell cars are driven by an electric motor. The difference, however, is that they produce electricity themselves. So unlike BEVs and PHEVs, they don’t get their power from a built-in chargeable battery. Instead, hydrogen cars effectively have their own efficient power plant on board – the fuel cell.
FAQS.
What is the function of the Green Mode in my MINI?
The GREEN mode in your MINI offers you a consistently consumption-reducing setting for a maximum range. To activate GREEN, press the MINI Driving Modes switch down until GREEN is displayed in the instrument cluster.
What is ALL4?
The ALL4 all-wheel-drive is an intelligent torque vectoring system that maximises traction on virtually any surface. It's electrohydraulic multi-disc clutch* is linked to Dynamic Stability Control and smoothly varies the amount of drive torque distributed from the MINI TwinPower Turbo engine to the front and rear axles according to the driving situation.That all means optimal traction, maximum stability and even more fun cruising around corners.
What is WLTP?
WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) is the legally binding test procedure for all car manufacturers that determines figures for exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. This laboratory test will also be supplemented by an emissions test that measures pollutants directly on the road; RDE (Real Driving Emissions).
Is the MINI Electric greener than the MINI Cooper S?
The greenness of any electric car ultimately depends on the source of the main electricity that feeds the battery. Another aspect of the lifetime CO2 footprint is the energy used to manufacture the battery pack. With this in mind, tests showed that if the MINI Electric is charged using a renewable electricity mix, it breaks even or has ‘worked off’ the CO2 released during its manufacturing after approximately 19,000 km. Over a full life cycle, the emissions of a MINI Electric are 40% (EU mix) and 70% (renewable mix) compared to that of a petrol-driven MINI Cooper S. That means, using typical daily driving distances, it takes just twelve months of driving for the MINI Electric to offset the extra global warming emissions from producing it.
