Introducing MINI's range of all-electric cars
MINI's family of all-electric cars are engineered to retain the legendary charisma their regular new cars are renowned for, but with the benefits of zero-emission driving.
Lower running costs and usable every day range make them a compelling choice for anyone looking to make the switch to electric.
The brand's electric vehicles live alongside their popular hybrid range, and are ideal for anyone living in urban areas due to their compact proportions and zesty low-speed performance.

Benefits of buying an electric MINI
Low Running Costs
The cost of charging compared to refuelling is considerably less expensive, and you will also benefit from low vehicle excise duty rates (road tax).
Zero Emissions
Electric cars are better for the environment and emit no tailpipe emissions, meaning you will not be charged to enter low emissions zones.
Performance
Thanks to instantaneous torque, electric cars offer a unique and exciting driving experience.
What are the different types of hybrid and electric vehicles?
Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV)
Mild hybrid systems assist the ICE and improve fuel economy by harvesting and storing energy that is normally lost when braking.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
HEVs combine an ICE with an electric motor and battery pack that is charged through regenerative braking to offer all-electric driving for short distances.
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV)
A PHEV uses a similar setup to a HEV, but has a much larger battery pack to offer a more substantial all-electric range. You will need to plug in to fully recharge.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)
BEVs only use an electric motor and battery pack for power, producing zero tailpipe emissions and impressive all-electric ranges. There is no combustion engine, so you will need to plug in to recharge.
