FEELS MINI. DRIVES ELECTRIC.

When you drive an all-electric MINI, you get all the thrills with non of the noise. It's that legendary go-kart handling - boosted by instant torque and seamless acceleration. Behind the wheel, every corner feels sharper, every sprint more exhilarating. But electric driving isn't just about performance. It's about efficiency, smart regeneration, and caring for your battery. From braking that gives back to charging habits that keep you going longer - here's how to the the most out of your MINI, every mile of the way.

ELECTRIFYING GO-KART FEELING.

Driving an electric MINI means instant torque, sharp handling, and that iconic go-kart feeling - just with a silent twist. Step on the pedal and you're off: smooth, powerful acceleration and precise braking meet a low centre of gravity for maximum grip and grin. It's unmistakably MINI. Just electric.

WHY SO QUICK? HERE'S THE JUICE.

Your all-electric MINI delivers instant torque the moment you tap the pedal - no gear changes, no delay, just seamless acceleration thanks to ist 1-speed transmission. And when you ease off, your MINI Slows down just as smoothly, with adjustable energy recovery that lets you fine-tune the feel. Pure response, MINI style.

BRAKING THAT GIVES BACK.

Your electric MINI knows how to make every stop count. Ist intelligent braking system analyses the situation and uses maximum energy recuperation whenever possible - so you're recharging the battery while slowing down. Need a bit more stopping power? The conventional brakes kick in seamlessly. It's efficient, smooth, and even helps reduce brake wear and dust. Clever!

RECOMMENDATIONS TO OPTIMISE THE SERVICE LIFE OF YOUR ELECTRIC CAR BATTERY.*

*The charging performance depends on vehicle equipment, the state of charge and health of the battery, battery temperature, individual driving profile, use of auxiliary users, ambient temperature, and the charging power provided at the charging station.

Gentle, slow charging.

Prefer to charge electric car batteries more slowly at wallboxes, AC or DC charging stations with a maximum of 100 KW. It is best to keep High-Power-Charging (HPC) at quick charging stations for longer journeys.

Plug-in only if required.

Only charge when you need to - and not after every journey. When parking your car, low to medium states of charge are better for the service of the electric car battery.

Charge to 100% for long journeys.

A state of charge between 10% and 80% for everyday driving is recommended for your electric car battery. Only charge to 100% for longer journeys, preferably just before you set off.

Set a charging target for everyday driving.

Ideally avoid full charges in everyday driving. MINI recommends a charging target of at most 80%

Avoid empty batteries.

Charge your battery before its state of charge falls below 10%. Ideally maintain the state of charge within the recommended range of 10% - 80%.

Moderate driving styles go easy on the battery.

Accelerate moderately and drive in an anticipatory manner at a steady speed to look after your electric car battery. That also means fewer visits to charging stations.

Keep consumption low.

Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage or roof boxes. This will reduce your energy consumption and ease pressure on the electric car battery.

Moderate temperatures are ideal.

Preferably park your electric car in the shade or in a garage in hot weather. Especially if you plan to park it for a long period of time.

Moderate battery charge state over long stationary periods.

An electric car battery discharges energy very slowly when it is parked. Therefore, it's not advisable to connect your car to a charging post before longer stationary periods, for example when you're going on holiday. The ideal state of charge for the battery is 30-50%.

10 golden Rules of an electric MINI.

OUR EXTENDED BATTERY WARRANTY FOR YOUR ALL ELECTRIC MINI.

*Terms and conditions apply

The extended warranty* protects you from unexpected costs in the event of material and manufacturing defect of the high-voltage battery. For all fully electric MINI models, it is valid for 8 years or up to a maximum mileage of 160,000 km. Whichever comes first is decisive. Your fully electric MINI also comes with a warranty* against battery aging. This ensures you long-term mobility with a usable battery capacity of at least 70% compared to new condition. The warranty is valid for 8 years or up to a mileage of 160,000 km. Whichever comes first is decisive.

THINGS WE'RE OFTEN ASKED.

Electric car batteries can discharge slowly when not in use due to what’s called self-discharge. This occurs naturally in all batteries as small amounts of energy are lost over time, even when the car is not being driven. However, the rate of discharge is typically low, and the latest MINI electric vehicles are designed to minimise self-discharge thanks to their advanced battery management systems.

You can influence the service life of your battery with clever time management when charging. It's preferable to charge the battery shortly before your planned departure time. This applies especially to AC charging overnight. To this end, you can use the practical “Charging within a time frame” function in the MINI App. This allows you to set the optimal charging start time. This ensures that your vehicle is perfectly prepared for your next trip. In day-to-day use, AC charging is the best option for conserving your battery. Charging the battery to 80 percent extends the service life of the battery and enhances the charging power. Are you planning a longer journey? If so, DC quick chargers along the route are the perfect choice for quick stops along the way. If you don't plan to use your MINI electric car for a longer period of time, you should keep it at a state of charge between 30 and 50 percent. This also conserves the integrity of the battery in the long term.
