Cooper E

The Mini Cooper E is a 4-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £26,905. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.3 seconds, slower than 61% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 155 miles (250 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 52nd of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 4.3 mi/kWh (146 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 36.6 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 60 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 166 miles (267 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £173 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £10,200–£11,300 and a 2025 one at £15,300–£17,500, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 146 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
