    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, the Mini Cooper Electric is an excellent city car due to its compact size, agile handling, and quick acceleration. Its 183 km range (EPA estimate) is ideal for urban commutes, and the car’s small footprint makes it easy to park in tight spaces. However, it may not be the best option for long road trips due to its limited range.
    The Mini Cooper Electric supports both Level 2 and DC fast charging. Using a Level 2 home charger, it takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes to fully charge the battery. With a DC fast charger, the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in about 35 minutes, making it convenient for quick top-ups.
    The EPA-rated range is 183 km on a full charge. In real-world driving, factors such as weather conditions, driving habits, and terrain can impact the actual range. The Mini Cooper Electric is best suited for city and suburban use rather than long highway trips.
    The Mini Cooper Electric accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7.3 seconds. With 135 kW (181 hp) and 270 Nm of torque, the instant power delivery makes it feel quick and nimble, especially in urban settings.
    Yes, the Mini Cooper Electric offers adjustable regenerative braking. Drivers can choose between low and high settings, allowing for a smoother or more aggressive regenerative braking experience. In the highest setting, it enables one-pedal driving, where lifting off the accelerator slows the car significantly, reducing the need to use the brake pedal.
    Absolutely! The Mini Cooper Electric retains the go-kart-like handling that the brand is known for. Its low center of gravity, front-wheel drive, and responsive steering make it engaging and sporty to drive. It feels quick in city traffic and corners well, making it one of the most fun small EVs on the market.
    Cargo space is 8.7 cubic feet (246 liters) behind the rear seats and expands to 32.6 cubic feet (923 liters) with the rear seats folded down. While it’s compact, the rear seats split 60/40, allowing for flexible storage. However, there is no front trunk (frunk), as the space is occupied by the electric motor components.
    The Mini Cooper Electric comes with an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, and built-in navigation. It features a digital driver display, Harman Kardon premium sound system (optional), wireless smartphone charging, and ambient interior lighting. The heads-up display is available but uses a flip-up plastic screen rather than projection onto the windshield.
    The main drawbacks of the Mini Cooper Electric include its shorter driving range compared to competitors, lack of adaptive cruise control, and limited cargo and rear passenger space. It is also front-wheel drive only, meaning no all-wheel-drive (AWD) option is available, unlike some competitors. Additionally, it no longer qualifies for federal EV tax credits in the U.S.
    The starting price of the Mini Cooper Electric is approximately CAD 48,200. The price increases with optional packages, premium interior materials, and additional tech features. While it was once one of the most affordable electric vehicles, price increases and changes in tax incentives have made it slightly less competitive in the EV market.

    Pros & Cons

    Pros:

    The Mini Cooper Electric retains its signature go-kart-like handling, offering precise steering and a lively performance. With a 181-horsepower motor and a 0-100 km/h time of around 7.3 seconds, it delivers a fun and dynamic ride, making it one of the more engaging small EVs to drive.
    The cabin features high-quality materials, including fabric-covered surfaces and optional vegan leather seats. The new OLED circular display adds a futuristic touch, and the toggle switches provide a classic Mini feel. The premium build quality and playful design make it stand out in the small EV segment.
    With a length of approximately 3.86 meters, the Mini Cooper Electric is one of the smallest EVs available, making it ideal for city driving. Its tight turning radius and nimble handling allow for easy navigation through congested urban streets and tight parking spaces.
    The latest Mini Cooper Electric maintains its iconic look while incorporating modern elements like LED lighting, flush door handles, and a revised grille. The customizable lighting signatures and new wheel designs enhance its visual appeal.
    With DC fast-charging support up to 95 kW, the Mini Cooper Electric can recharge from 10% to 80% in approximately 35 minutes. A Level 2 charger at home takes around 3 hours and 30 minutes for a full charge, making it convenient for daily use.
    The car features a 9.5-inch OLED infotainment screen with Mini’s latest software, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an optional Harman Kardon sound system. The user-friendly interface and customizable themes enhance the tech experience.
    Owners can personalize their Mini Cooper Electric with various color combinations, roof designs, and interior trims. The LED matrix rear lamps allow for different signature styles, including the Union Jack design, adding a unique touch to the vehicle.

    Cons

    The Mini Cooper Electric has a maximum range of approximately 183 km, which is significantly lower than competitors in the small EV segment. While sufficient for city driving, it may not be ideal for long-distance trips without frequent charging stops.
    Unlike some other EVs in its class, the Mini Cooper Electric is only available in front-wheel drive. This limits its appeal to those looking for better traction in snowy or wet conditions.
    With only 200 liters of trunk space and a tight rear seat, the Mini Cooper Electric is not the most practical option for families or those needing substantial cargo capacity. The rear seats are best suited for shorter trips or smaller passengers.
    While the sporty suspension enhances handling, it also results in a firmer ride compared to some competitors. Rough roads and potholes may feel more pronounced, making it less comfortable for long-distance travel.
    Starting at around CAD 48,200, the Mini Cooper Electric is more expensive than some rivals with longer range and additional features. Its price point may deter buyers looking for better value in the electric vehicle market.
