Home Charging Made Easier

With a range of up to 144† miles from a single charge, MINI Electric can handle hours of adventure without needing to stop. And you can feel good driving all of those miles, because you’ll be emitting 0g/km of CO2. When you do need to charge up, you can do it at one of the 15,000 public charging stations around the UK or at home.
