The base Mini Cooper SE will set you back $29,900 with an $850 destination and handling fee (federal and state credits will bring down the price a bit, if you’re eligible). Among the features on the standard model are a 6.5-inch display with a navigation system, Apple CarPlay compatibility, automatic dual zone climate control, heated front seats, driver assistance, a rearview camera and keyless entry.

For an extra $4,000, the Signature Plus Trim model adds a panoramic moon roof, power-folding mirrors, a Harman Kardon audio system and auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, among other features. For $36,900, the top-end Iconic Trim Level adds a larger, 8.8-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, a parking assistant, a Mini head-up display and more — on top of everything the other two models boast.

The Environmental Protection Agency has given the Mini Cooper SE a preliminary range rating of 110 miles, less than its European rating of between 124 and 144 miles on a full charge of the 32.6 kWh battery. While that might not inspire confidence if you’d planned to take the car on an out-of-town trip at any point, with a DC rapid charger, you can get the battery up to 80 percent capacity in about 40 minutes at compatible public stations.

The EV can hit 60MPH in 6.9 seconds thanks to its 181HP motor, which generates 199 foot-pounds of EV torque. The Mini Cooper SE can hit a top speed of 93MPH. If you pre-order, you’ll need to plonk down $500 at the outset.

The production Mini Electric is based around a 135kW (181HP) motor that brings the car to 62MPH in 7.3 seconds, with a top speed of 93MPH. No one will mistake it for a high-end sports car, then, but that’s comparable to the Mini Cooper S. The instant 199 foot-pounds of EV torque and lower center of gravity could give it an edge, too. You won’t be taking any long country drives with this when the 32.6kWh battery is estimated to deliver between 124 and 144 miles of range (you’ll want an i3 for longer drives), but BMW is clearly betting that this is just fine for the urbanites most likely to buy a Mini in the first place.

The capacity makes it easy to charge, at least, with a 50kW fast-charging station delivering 80 percent capacity in 35 minutes.

As you might imagine, the cabin is just as tech-laden as the powerplant. The usual instrument cluster is now replaced by a 5.5-inch screen (below) that shows your battery level and other EV-specific vitals. You’ll also find a standard 6.5-inch touchscreen in the center with Apple CarPlay, Mini Online and real-time traffic updates, not to mention electric touches like maps that show nearby charging stations. Upgraded models add perks like Park Distance Control, a rear camera and driver assists. Go all-out for the premium model and you’ll get an 8.8-inch touchscreen, wireless phone charging, parking assistance and a Harman Kardon audio system.

UK residents can order the Mini Electric today for either a £299 (roughly $373) per month lease or £24,400 purchase after a plug-in car credit (about $30,425). A mid-tier version with PDC, the rear camera, heated seats and driver assists costs £26,400 after the credit ($32,924), while those determined to max out their Minis can buy the top spec for £30,400 ($37,891). There’s no word on US pricing or availability, but don’t be surprised if it changes significantly between taxes and EV credits.
