FAQs

What is the best Mini Cooper EV?

Currently, only the Mini Cooper Hardtop is offered in EV guise, so you don’t have a lot of choice. Luckily, it can be customized in a variety of ways, including exclusive wheel designs and graphics. Overall, it is a well-packaged vehicle with a fun and engaging driving character, though it will cost you quite a bit.

Are Mini electric cars reliable?

While Mini is not traditionally known for having the best reliability ratings, the Mini Cooper Electric Hardtop has not had any issues in recent years. The warranty is pretty standard, including the eight-year/100,000-mile coverage of electrical components.

How long does it take to charge Mini Cooper electric cars?

The relatively poor range of the Hardtop EV is somewhat mitigated by its quick charging times, since the battery only stores 32.64 kWh of power. Using a 240-volt outlet, this can be filled in just four hours, while a 440-volt charging station gets the job done in just under an hour.

What is the price of new Mini Cooper electric vehicles?

Mini Cooper cars are not cheap, and adding electric components only pushes the price up further. In the case of the Cooper Electric Hardtop, this means you will be spending over $30k for the base trim, or around $35,000 if you want the top-tier model.
