MINI Cooper Electric
The Cooper SE is MINI’s first and still only electric vehicle. Equipped with a 181-horsepower motor and a 32.6 kWh lithium-ion battery, it can officially travel up 183 km with a full charge. That kind of range is definitely not competitive by today’s EV standards, but you have to remember the Cooper SE is designed with urban driving in mind. The next generation coming for 2025 will be able to cover longer distances thanks to a 54.2 kWh battery.
