More than 60 years after the first MINI rolled off the production line and launched an icon, it’s a car that continues to turn heads. Its timeless looks, cutting-edge in-car technology and classic-meets-contemporary design touches have powered by decades of passion, and the latest limited-run edition of the MINI Electric – the Resolute Edition – is no exception.
Having already spoken to three real MINI Electric owners – Misty, Iola and Monwar – who shared their favourite features with us, we decided to open the floor to users on our social channels, asking you to tell us what you love about your MINI Electric and what it’s like to live with. Here’s what you had to say.

Plenty of performance
Lots of you commented on your MINI Electric’s exhilarating performance, regularly returning to the responsive power delivery and MINI’s traditional go-kart-like handling, “It’s so smooth to drive and the instant acceleration and breaking is a lot of fun”, said Liz R.
Some of you were even able to compare your previous experience in petrol models. “My MINI Electric replaced a MINI Cooper S, so I had direct back-to-back experience of the electric and petrol versions. The MINI Electric drives just the same as the petrol one in terms of handling, with more immediate response at lower speeds,” said Paul Beasley.
Phil G suggested similar, commenting, "The biggest thing I enjoy with the MINI Electric over my previous petrol MINI is the change of weight distribution. It turns in extremely well."
One of the wonderful things about electric cars is the instant performance and torque on tap wherever you are in the proverbial ‘rev range’, and – in this respect – the MINI Electric leads the charge. “I love how it drives. It’s planted and poky,” said Paul Beasley. Stephen PJ continued that sentiment: “I do love the power. It’s a rocket!”.
