About the MINI Electric (Cooper SE)

The MINI Electric, also known as the MINI Cooper SE, is the brand’s first fully electric vehicle. Launched in 2020, it retains the iconic MINI Hatch 3-Door design while incorporating a 32.6 kWh lithium-ion battery and electric motor. With zippy handling, a low centre of gravity, and instant torque, it delivers the classic MINI go-kart feel-only now emissions-free. Despite its compact battery size and modest real-world range (around 180-200 km), it’s a popular choice for city driving and short commutes. The Cooper SE combines style, tech, and sustainability in a familiar MINI package.

Common MINI Electric (Cooper SE) problems

One of the most commonly noted drawbacks is the limited range, especially compared to other EVs in its class. The Cooper SE’s range can drop even further in cold weather or during aggressive driving, which may disappoint buyers used to longer-range EVs.
Some owners report that the charging port flap does not always close properly or can become misaligned over time. This can allow moisture to enter or cause difficulty when plugging in the charger.
The digital display and navigation system in the Cooper SE can occasionally freeze or restart unexpectedly. These bugs are sometimes resolved with software updates, but persistent glitches have been reported, particularly in early models.
While regenerative braking is a highlight of EVs, the Cooper SE’s system has been noted for feeling inconsistent by some drivers. It can take time to get used to, and in certain driving conditions, the level of regen may not match expectations.
Despite being an EV, the Cooper SE still uses a conventional 12V battery for accessories. Some owners have experienced unexpected battery drains, particularly after infrequent driving or long periods of inactivity.
Because of the instant torque from the electric motor and the heavier weight of the battery, front tyres may wear faster than expected—especially if the car is driven enthusiastically, as many MINIs are.
In colder climates, the heating system can consume a significant amount of battery power, reducing the overall driving range. Some owners have also mentioned that the cabin can take longer to warm up compared to petrol models.
