Mini fully electric
Mini presented its first fully electric car, equipped with a 204 HP engine but with only 2 seats.
The new Mini electric car is built in Oxford, without engine and transmission, and then sent to Munich in order to receive the electric system. It is powered by a set of batteries positioned in the back (this is why it only has 2 seats). A full load of batteries lasts 8 hours or 240 km.
However, the model doesn’t impress with its weight, having a mass of 145 kg, which is partially offset by the 204 HP electric engine with a torque of 220 Nm, the car being capable to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. Its maximum speed is electronically limited to 152 km/h.
