Mini Australia has reduced the price of the Mini Cooper Electric by ~$20,000 down to $49,990 drive away until the end of the year, or until stocks last.

Power: 135kW / 290Nm
Range: 233KM
0-80% Charge: 36mins

Important things to note:

  1. Next-Gen Mini Cooper Electric arrives next year. It will be made in China by Great Wall Motors. See more info here: https://www.drive.com.au/news/2024-mini-cooper-electric-hatc…

  2. There are other Chinese made EV’s around the same (or less money) that will offer more range/value for money:

  • Tesla Model 3 RWD (if you want a sedan, and are happy getting the current pre-facelift model)
  • MG 4
  • BYD Dolphin
  • BYD Atto 3 (if you want a compact SUV)
  • BYD Seal (if you want a sedan)
  • GWM Ora

But for the people that love the Mini style, want a European brand and live inner city, this could be ideal.

Terms & Conditions

  1. Drive away price based on a new, base model featured vehicle and excludes: (a) the cost of any options; and (b) the effect of any discount, rebate or promotion.

  2. Drive away price is recommended by MINI Australia, but individual dealers may charge a different dealer delivery fee – which may be higher or lower.

Prices shown are the manufacturer’s recommended prices and include applicable GST. Above amounts do not include any manufacturer rebates, incentive payments or alike which may affect tax and duty amounts calculated. The Recommended Drive Away Price includes 12 months’ registration and compulsory third party insurance (CTP) and is based on a private owner aged 40 with a good driving record and the vehicle being garaged in the postcode entered.

This is a manufacturer's publication, and new vehicles must be purchased from authorised MINI dealers. The actual drive away price may vary according to different states in Australia and individual circumstances (including, in NSW and QLD, the choice of insurer) and may vary from dealer to dealer. Financing, leasing, hiring or credit costs associated with the purchase of the vehicle are not included. Please consult your MINI dealer to confirm the price that is specific to you.

All information is current as at the date of publication and assumes that delivery of the vehicle occurs at the dealer's premises.

                @EightImmortals: Agree. Battery EVs are a transition solution away from ICEs, and longer term the world will have to move to something else - hydrogen maybe, idk. Batteries are just so filthy to produce and dispose. People who drive battery EVs with the sole intention of being 'green' are unfortunately misinformed.

                1. VW

                • "other automakers, including Hyundai and Volvo, are sticking to their targets"
                • "Volkswagen said they began to pick up in the third quarter as new models hit the market."

                2. "Ford"

                Like the previous article, there isn't enough to draw a conclusion based off a single manufacturer.

                3. Panasonic

                • " low demand for the Tesla models S and X"

                While this appears to be a result of sales of luxury models, there is no mention of other Teslas which, IIRC, are sourcing their batteries from elsewhere.

        Hi sheikyerbouti,

        Sky was just the first link that came up. I really wish it wasn't the case that catastrophic thermal runaway fires are happening but we need to follow the evidence wherever it leads. Hopefully they can invent safer batteries but until then I'd stay away.

        This youtube channel has a lot of evidence and discussion, including 2 destroyed ships. Ferries in Norway are now restricting/preventing them from boarding.

      Brands like BYD, Tesla and Ford are using LFP batteries either across their line up (BYD) or in their most popular models (Tesla, Ford, MG, GWM).

      LFP batteries don’t have the same thermal runaway issues that other batteries have. YouTube the BYD Blade battery getting pierced with a nail. Pretty much explains it all.

      Those LFP packs also don’t use Cobalt or Nickel either. So you don’t have poor little African kid’s mining that to power your new EV either

      EV sales are still increasing year on year.
      We are at that inflection point where the early adopters all have one now, and they now need to be sold to your everyday consumer, all while dealing with higher cost of living, and interest rates.

      Something like 90% of cars in Australia are financed. So higher interest rates and cost of living are going to have an impact. But overall year on year sales are only increasing at this point in time.

      • findingbargains on 03/11/2023 - 09:37

        I think we should be more skeptical of this. My understanding is that LFP batteries are not as thermal-runaway-proof as manufacturers claim they are. The nail piercing trick is a marketing gimmick by the manufacturer. I would like to see some verification and testing of those batteries by independent parties. The consequences are too catastrophic to dismiss this risk too easily.

        • elease on 03/11/2023 - 17:01

          Man, why thrusting a nail into a battery that is supposed to have thermal runaway issue, is a marketing trick?

        So do ICE vehicles, and they're more likely to burn.

        You need to find credible news sources mate. John Cardogan hates EVs because they are gonna decimate his car brokerage business.

        When Tesla has been the best selling passenger car for the past few months and you own a car brokerage business that can sell exactly 0 Teslas (and more EV first car makers moving to a direct to consumer model), you can see why he’d wanna spout EV hate.

        What he is saying is not 100% factless, but he is blowing things well out of proportion and misrepresenting the safety of EVs for personal gain.

          You've missed the point entirely.

          EV fires are catastrophic. The example I gave of Luton Airport was where one Jeep Hybrid destroyed 1400+ cars and collapsed the multi level concrete and steel carpark.

          • sheikyerbouti on 03/11/2023 - 11:03
            +8

            @trevor99: They're not catastrophic. We've attended several and they're quite unremarkable. Sure, the battery burns, but its no worse than 80L of petrol burning when a tank is ruptured. There was one just south of sydney recently. A Tesla ran over debris that punctured the battery and went into thermal runaway. Even afterwards, once the thermal runaway had been extinguished, the car body was mostly intact. Because the flames come out the sides and front not the top. There's far greater danger from cheapo chinese Ozbargain lithium battery-powered devices being charged in homes and starting fires there.

            Your example is a bit crap anyway. In car park fires like that, it doesn't matter what the cause was - all those cars packed together will burn regardless of the cause. To blame EVs is idiotic. Sydney Olympic Park saw 50 cars destroyed and dozens more damaged in a carpark fire (in 2013, before EVs) because cars parked together always allow fire to spread.

              That would be cool, because the whole point is as these fires produce their own oxygen, they can only be left to burn out.

"Fires produce their own oxygen" sure, but when out in the open air, who cares? It's not like there's a lack of oxygen available to the fire anyway.

            @trevor99: You argumentation is catastrophically flawed…
            The Luton airport fire was a diesel Land Rover. Cross check multiple sources, don't cherry pick and notice lot of them even debunk the hybrid/electric claims for that event.
            1400 cars burned. I doubt many if any EVs were involved and yet we had a massive catastrophic blaze caused by all those safe ICE cars.
            Sure, some EVs can get into hard to put out fires but have you seen photos and videos of burned out ICE cars by the road? They go poof in seconds, just like EV would. So they are equally dangerous in burning you alive. Some EVs can just burn longer which makes little difference to occupants. Statistically the ICE is more likely to catch fire.

              @goodwillN1: Yeah I've fought in fires too including ash Wednesday. A diesel tank is hard to ignite, and even if somehow it did, it would burn black.
              That Landrover had white smoke coming horizontally from the left side. I don't believe any media whitewash, especially after what we've seen in the past few years.

              How many ships have burned out from car fires before EVs? Now we already have two, because the sprinklers don't work, because the fires are a completely different beasts. By the way I can't accept where you say "I doubt many if any EVs were involved" because UK has around 3% penetration.

            @trevor99: It was a diesel Land Rover that started the fire, the car park also had no fire suppression system and it was a partial collapse. You’re not wrong that battery fires can be catastrophic and harder to put out currently, but you need to be careful where you get your information from since there’s a lot of hyperbole and agendas out there.

    Isn't there a fully electric Mazda for around same money? Same crappy range though.

      Mazda MX-30 has been discontinued in Australia.
      It was around $70,000 from memory.

      Everyone’s quotes are going to be different as they all take into account

      • The area you house the car
      • your sex
      • your age
      • your driving history
      • your claims history

      When I’ve checked EV insurance quotes they are all pretty much the same as equivalent priced petrol/diesel cars.

        I was talking to someone who said they worked for Suncorp.They said the price of insurance for Tesla's were about double other cars and about to increase more, as repairers can't guarantee that after a bingle the batteries are all fine, so they need to replace them which costs a fortune.

        So I was wondering what other people's experiences are.

        The factors you list affects all vehicle insurance quotes, not relevant to EV's like this.

          Just did a quote for Tesla Model 3 and Y with RACV and Allianz with my details.

          Compared to it 2 other brands that cost the same. The Tesla’s came in $12 and $16 a month cheaper respectively compared to the other 2 brands I checked.

          I am aware Tesla force insurance companies to use their authorised repair centres. They are the only ones that will get the spare parts in to fix. That’s likely why Insurance companies don’t like them?

              @mikokik5: If you are upgrading from some cheap Japanese/Korean run-about, it's going to come as a shock. Not denying that.
              But you need to compare it against other cars that are priced around the same amount of money that it directly competes with.

              Model 3
              BMW 3 Series
              Audi A4
              Merc C-Class
              Skoda Superb Sportline
              Kia Stinger

              Model Y
              BMW X3
              Merc GLC
              Audi Q5
              Skoda Kodiaq RS
              Kia Sorrento GT Line
              Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander
              Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line

              When I did my comparison they were all around the some sort of costs to insure through RACV and Allianz.

      I've been researching this recently due to the FBT changes for BEV/PHEV vehicles:
      As it is partly business use, and one of my Veterinarians and my son are only 24:
      Tesla Model 3 RWD $2700+, Model 3 AWD UNINSURABLE, Model Y RWD $1800+, Model Y AWD UNINSURABLE
      Mercedes A250e PHEV $1100+, Mazda CX60 PHEV $1100+ despite both models being $10+k dearer than the outgoing Model 3.
      The stupidity here is that the CX60 actually does 0-100 in 5.8secs which is faster than my Q70 which no insurance company will insure my son for???

      • mikokik5 on 03/11/2023 - 12:31

        A Q70 is an Infinity yeah? They have exited Aus market a long time ago.

        • petebern on 04/11/2023 - 12:47

          Yes it is an Infiniti, but the Insurance Companies seem to base age restrictions on 0-100 times rather than the car company.
          The Q70 claims 0-100 in 6.2(which I think was VERY conservative) and no Insurance Company will insure for <25. Yet the TESLA is 6.1 0-100 and they will insure it - at what seems to be a 'Tesla' Premium?? The Mazda is quicker again, so I don't know why it is that much cheaper than the Tesla??
          By the way, the Q70 has the same Engine as a 370Z(slightly detuned) so you can still get parts and is an absolutely BRILLIANT car for the money. Unfortunately I only get to drive it on weekends as my Business Car is a BT50.

    0-80% Charge: 36mins

    is that with a fast charging station or via standard power outlets?

    • M00Cow on 03/11/2023 - 08:39

      That's probably how long it takes to swap the battery out ;-)

    • Caped Baldy on 03/11/2023 - 09:27

      It's 100% with a fast charger at least 50kW. It is misleading.

      You can get a charger with a standard wall outlet but they only go around 2.2kW in my experience.

      • z28 on 03/11/2023 - 09:49

        Mini has only 1kwh battey pack which explains the fast charging.

  • jackwilk on 03/11/2023 - 08:41

    New Toyota/Subaru electric looks promising, but we are talking $70k+ and lengthy waiting times. There is probably waiting list for these already :)

      Compared to the competition they are not good.
