The MINI Electric is a car that, once driven, is much loved. Boasting standout style, amped up performance and rapid recharging, alongside a cossetting tech-packed interior, it’s worth talking to people who have spent time behind the wheel of the MINI Electric to learn why they’re such big fans.
In fact, that’s just what we’ve done. As well as talking to MINI Electric owners Iola and Misty – who named their favourite MINI Electric features and offered their top tips for making the electric switch – we asked Kent-based entrepreneur Monwar to tell us about his experience of driving the MINI Electric. Here’s what he thought.

“It just feels fun”
“I recently moved to Kent to expand my chai business, which I’m trying to make fully sustainable. My partner and I have always loved MINI, and I’m a big fan of The Italian Job. The whole look and feel of MINI is youthful and cool, while a modern MINI is compact, fun and really suits our lifestyle. The MINI Electric takes that a step further, with its awesome looks and futuristic features. It’s the perfect next step.
“I particularly love the pearlescent paint. It feels like it changes colour, depending on how the sun hits it. The alloy wheels, which look like a three-pin plug socket, are also really cool. They’re an awesome way of showing it’s an electric car.
“Inside the MINI Electric the build quality is top-notch. The steering wheel particularly stood out for me. The feel of the leather and the way it sits in your hands seems so natural. The ambient lighting is another nice touch – especially the lights around the central dial. The way the lights change colour is so funky. It just feels fun.”
