CHARGED WITH PASSION
The first all-electric MINI is every bit the original iconic MINI, but powered for the roads of tomorrow. It fuses legendary go-kart feeling, distinctive design, and premium quality with emission-free driving. It's driven by a high-voltage, 96-cell, 32.6 kWh (gross capacity) battery pack that's mounted under the floor. This gives it an extra low center of gravity, which not only improves stability and handling - but makes taking every bend more fun than ever. It's MINI at its most intense - and most evolved.
DESIGN
The traction motor has an output of 181 hp (135 kW; 184 PS) and 199 lb⋅feet (270 N⋅m; 27.Five kg⋅m) of torque, drawing from a 32.6 kWh battery, of which 28.Nine kWh (ninety three.2 Ah) are usable. The battery makes use of twelve packs of lithium-ion cells arranged in a T-form among the the front seats and beneath the rear seats. It has an EPA rated variety of one hundred ten mi (180 km) on a unmarried fee, with a 36 minute rapid charging time to eighty% potential the usage of a 50 kW DC rapid charger. According to the WLTP check cycle, the car has a variety of 126 to one hundred forty five mi (203 to 234 km).[8]
Compared to the Mini E, a confined manufacturing battery-electric vehicle leased with the aid of Mini to a few hundred customers in the United States in 2008, the acceleration, power, and range had been nearly the same, but the battery in the more modern Mini Electric takes up much less passenger volume; the battery of the Mini E occupied the whole rear seat and load location.
The chassis position of the battery shifts the burden stability from 63/37 (front/rear) for a Cooper S with an inner combustion engine to 58/42 or 54/forty six (F/R) for a Cooper SE; further, the center of gravity is 1.2 in (30 mm) decrease for the SE, in spite of an increase in journey top by 0.71 in (18 mm). The chassis turned into outfitted with unique dampers; springs have been borrowed from the Countryman and Clubman models to house the greater weight of the battery, which extended weight through 284 to 350 lb (129 to 159 kg) as compared to a base Cooper.
The top velocity of the Mini Electric is constrained to 93 mph (150 km/h).
