About the MINI Cooper Electric (J01, 2024)
Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.
The J01 is a fully new generation on an EV platform developed with Great Wall Motor; earlier electric MINIs still used a petrol architecture. The Cooper SE delivers about 218 hp from a 49 kWh net battery. The interior centres on a round OLED screen without analogue instruments.
In practice
The WLTP figure is about 400 km with the 49 kWh net battery (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging peaks around 95 kW; 10-80% takes about 30 minutes under favourable conditions (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Owners report a noticeably lower range in winter (public forums, limited n, not measured by us). The indicative list price rose from about 35,500 euro (peildatum early 2024) to 36,900 euro now; this is a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.
Points to note
The boot of about 210 litres and the four seats make this a city and commuter car, not a family car; check this against your actual use. The Cooper Electric is not rated for towing. The controls move almost everything to the round screen; whether that works pleasantly is a matter of taste, check it on a test drive at the official dealer.
