The MINI Electric (referred to in some markets as the Mini Cooper SE[3]) is an all-electric Mini from BMW launched in 2020. The drive train utilizes technology developed for the earlier BMW i3. It has a 184 PS motor and a 32.6 kWh battery, comprising twelve packs of lithium-ion cells arranged in a T-shape between the front seats and below the rear seats. It has an EPA rating of a 110 mi (177 km) range at a single charge, with a 36 minute fast charging time to 80% capacity.[4]
The Mini Electric was previewed by a concept car, the Mini Electric Concept at the 2017 Frankfurt IAA.[5]
The Mini Electric should not be confused with the 2010 Mini E which was a limited production vehicle used as a technology and market test platform.[6][7]
