F56 MINI Electric Forum 🔋🇬🇧

Has @MINIUK @BMW_UK not appreciated the strong possibility the disappointing demand for its latest BEVs is BECAUSE they are not yet being built at @MINIPlantOxford?🤷🏻‍♀️ WE will not consider buying a Chinese built EV, so our current @MINI could be our last!🙍🏻‍♀️theguardian.com/business/2025/…

@EVPuzzle @MINIUK @ListersMINI @MINIPlantOxford @BMWGroup Currently have THIS as a courtesy car… Range is almost double our F56 and it drives well with comfortable front seats. BUT ride seems harsher, interior is much less attractive with cheap plastics and lacks physical controls. We would NOT swap from our 🇬🇧 MINI for this 🇨🇳 one!

@MINI_Electric @MINIUK @ListersMINI @MINIPlantOxford @BMWGroup Shooting themselves in the 🦶

Just noticed my @MINIUK @ListersMINI data services are about to expire after just 3 years They want £9.95 a month for a terribly slow App with functionality I use once a month if lucky 99p/mth would be questionable I haven't even been offered a extended warranty beyond 3 yrs

@EVPuzzle @MINIUK @ListersMINI @MINIPlantOxford Indeed. If they start whacking on extra charges after three years, then we’re going to have to purchase something that looks cheaper and blander and is made over in China anyway, we may as well just buy a Chinese EV brand for half the price?!🙍🏻‍♀️ Very disappointing from @BMWGroup

@MINI_Electric @MINIUK @ListersMINI @MINIPlantOxford In my mind is just damns the brand . It make me less inclined to buy from @MINIUK again. Having a car online should be standard in 2025 not optional for £9.95 a month At least Kia and Hyundai offer 5rs warranty and services and their apps work on all phone platforms Mini don't

@road_electric @graeme_cobb @newt7215 @EarlTheLeaf @juliandc Our key objection at the moment is that this car is being built in China rather than @MINIPlantOxford. 🇨🇳👎🏼 This should NOT be happening with this British brand.✋🏼 When manufacturing of @MINIUK BEVs returns to the UK we’ll think about it. 🇬🇧🤞🏼 Until then it’s not on the list…

Tell us what you think of the new all-electric MINI Aceman! #MINI #ElectricVehicles #ElectricVehicle @graeme_cobb @newt7215 @EarlTheLeaf @juliandc START POLL - bit.ly/4hJNlN2

@discover_ev @UKMiniElectric @MINIUK @MINICountryMen … and made only in Germany. 🇩🇪👎🏼 Therefore it’s even less of a “proper” MINI than it was before, unfortunately... 🙍🏻‍♀️

Take our 3-question (multiple choice) UK Fuel Poll. Also, you can let us know your thoughts on electric cars & the ban on the sale of new petrol & diesel cars in 2035. #electricvehicles #petrol #diesel #Hybrid @graeme_cobb START POLL #source=ertwitter" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pexkfcfdt4s.typeform.com/to/qNXsRU5P#so…

@BritBuiltCars @EarlTheLeaf @Yorkshire_Grit @QuentinWillson @renault_uk @MINIUK @MINIPlantOxford @MINI In fairness, the tail lights on the latest model are so strange you might not realise it’s a bit of our Union Flag, anyway?! 🙍🏻‍♀️ Agreed it should not be there on a Chinese made MINI, though. It’s clearly aiming to mislead buyers who are wanting to buy a British electric car. 🇬🇧👎🏼

@EarlTheLeaf @Yorkshire_Grit @QuentinWillson @renault_uk @MINIUK @MINIPlantOxford @MINI @MINI_Electric Always thought the Union flag tail lights should have been on the options list anyway.

Loving the new Renault 5 electric. If it comes to market at around the £25k @renault_uk are saying, it’ll be a big hit.

@Yorkshire_Grit @QuentinWillson @renault_uk Yes, that’s what I was thinking.🇬🇧🤷🏻‍♂️ Only @BritBuiltCars should be allowed that roof - or Union Jack tail lights!🙎🏻‍♂️ Listen-up @MINIUK with your electric MINIs built in China. 🇨🇳👎🏼 Please remove our flag until they’re finally being made again at @MINIPlantOxford in 2026!!! 📣🙏🏼

@UKMiniElectric @MINIUK @MINIPlantOxford Okay! 😕 Any experience of/thoughts on the Aceman, please? 🤔 We understand that’s also (eventually) due to be built at @MINIPlantOxford… 🤞🏼

@MINI_Electric @MINIUK @MINIPlantOxford You'd be disappointed I'm afraid . It's a good car but no more than good imo lots of backward steps which means we won't be buying one wherever it's made The Countryman though is surprisingly good in JCW Sport spec .. needs to be for £53k🤯

😍

@UKMiniElectric @MINIUK @MINIPlantOxford Not yet - actually in protest that they’re not being built in Britain! 😠

@MINI_Electric @MINIUK @MINIPlantOxford Have you driven one yet ?

@UKMiniElectric @MINIUK And the fact that all #MINIelectric models are current being built only in China. 🇨🇳👎🏼 Roll on 2026 when FINALLY @MINIPlantOxford will be manufacturing EVs again and we can resume championing them. 🇬🇧👍🏼

@MINIUK Shame about the toys r us starting button though 🤦

Old or new Mini startup sounds ? @MINIUK @MINI_Electric @UKMiniElectric

We love this Road Trip Report! Who loves their MINI Electric? @MINI @MINIUK @MINI_Electric @learnsmartuk @i3Roadtrip electricroad.co.uk/2024/08/mini-e…

Using your @MINIUK #MINIelectric example for this piece was very interesting. However, the ‘running cost’ of 6.4p per mile with home charging is very pessimistic. For example, with Intelligent @OctopusEnergy Go, it’s 7p per kWh overnight, so nearer to 2p per mile!👌🏼 @DrivingEVs

@graeme_cobb Couldn’t agree more. 👍🏼 I’ve owned a @NissanUK @NissanEVuk LEAF since 2016 and my wife bought a @MINIUK @MINI_Electric in 2022 - because they’re both great cars, but also we wanted the lowest manufacturing carbon footprint by buying British. 🇬🇧 We’re never reverting to ICE! ✋🏼

What do you do when you've driven 150 miles in the Mini Electric and arrive home with 14% battery left? Go back out to beat your last record of 170 miles 174 miles driven 1% --- miles remaining @MINI_Electric @UKMiniElectric

@discover_ev @UKMiniElectric @MINI @motoringmuseum We think… er KNOW… that it’s currently built in China. 🇨🇳👎🏼 Once they start manufacturing it @MINIPlantOxford we’ll get back to you… 🇬🇧👍🏼
