A Cooper SE Convertible could be a great niche electric vehicle and a minimalist effort, aimed at evening cruises and quick blasts out on country roads.

Like other Mini models, the Cooper SE gets standard Apple CarPlay for 2023, while its 114-mile range carries over.

Each conversion includes a 90-kw (120-horsepower) motor and 6.6-kw onboard charger, and original engines are marked and stored.

Mini has confirmed that it's developing a production vehicle based on its Urbanaut electric van concept; look out VW ID.Buzz.

Embracing a stripped-down and minimalist approach could help Mini make a more sustainable EV that delivers more with less.

A retest of EPA ratings for the Cooper SE yields better results this time around—to a figure that's likely more than enough for the commute.

Mini hasn't given the Cooper SE any more range for 2022, but it gets a bigger standard screen and downplays the yellow accents.

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.

The conversion kit and battery alone—not counting labor—could cost more than a brand-new Mini Cooper SE electric car.

Mini says that it's making much of its range available as electric vehicles alongside gas and diesel, but it hasn't given a timeframe for the remake.

The combination of a fully electric powertrain and the modern Mini driving experience may come together yet.

According to a report, the next-generation Mini lineup will include just three vehicles and all will feature electric propulsion.

Mini plans an all-electric car smaller than the Cooper SE, although it might not be available outside China, let alone the U.S.

As one of the pioneers of electric cars, Mini isn't content to build a more efficient, emissions-free version of its basic hatchback when it develops its first production electric car. Instead, it hopes to reimagine the electric car as a life-sized slot car that takes advantage of the electric...

BMW announced last month it will significantly expand and overhaul a facility to produce batteries for electric cars at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany.

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.

When consumers think of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid cars, most likely conjure thoughts of Tesla, or perhaps Nissan with its Leaf and Chevrolet with its Volt and Bolt EV. However, none of those three brands managed to sell 10,000 plug-in cars during the month of September. That sales honor...
