With some used parts as well as some off-the-shelf ones, Rich Benoit built an electric Mini Cooper for less than $3,000, not counting very many labor hours.

With a new, all-electric Mini E set to arrive in dealerships in a year or less, BMW wants to highlight the idea of a Mini Cooper powered by batteries.

We've known since last July that an all-electric Mini Cooper will go into production in 2019.

The Mini Electric Concept is recognizable as the three-door hardtop version of the...

The first Mini E, cobbled together by putting a battery pack where the rear seat used to be, was BMW's very first attempt at building a modern electric car.

The 2015 MINI Cooper five-door breaks new ground for the brand, as demonstrated by this ad.

MINIs aren't really Mini any more, but modern safety, comfort and equipment standards mean we'll never have a car quite as small as the original Mini ever again. That, and relentless niche-filling from parent company BMW means the car must be hugely profitable--something the classic car never...

The all-new, third-generation 2014 MINI Cooper three-door hatchback--now called "Hardtop" by MINI--sports a longer nose, a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, and an interior that at last cleans up some of the disastrous ergonomics of the previous cars. Specifically, the round display in the...
