MINI's contribution to the EV market builds on the technology that BMW created for the groundbreaking i3. Like its predecessor, the MINI Cooper SE is a small, short-range vehicle built for carbon-conscious commuters. Unlike the i3, the SE fits easily in the brand’s heritage. It delivers the same playful design, go-cart handling, and park-anywhere convenience of gasoline-powered MINIs, just without the engine noise and emissions. If you don’t have to carry kids or cargo — and don’t mind driving in the shadows of pickup trucks — this is the EV for you.
