Cooper SE

The Mini Cooper SE is a 4-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2021 to 2024, when it cost £32,550 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.3 seconds, slower than 61% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 112 miles (180 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 64th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.9 mi/kWh (161 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 28.9 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 43 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 114 miles (183 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2021 example is estimated at £8,900–£11,100 and a 2024 one at £15,500–£17,400, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2021 car should still manage about 101 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
