First MINI Electric car.. Actually a electrified Cooper S but I think its called a Cooper SE (E for electric), priced at $163,888... 181bhp, 270Nm of torque but maxes out at 150km/hr Standard MINI good looks, the bright yellow on white visual cues outside and interior electrified me...

But with its limited range, the MINI Electric cannot travel far beyond Johor Bahru. From Miami’s Institute of Contemporary Art to Fort Lauderdale in stop-start traffic – about 58km – the car’s charge dropped by about a quarter.

After clocking 53km on the drive back to the institute on the highway, the car had about 45 percent charge left. That means it would realistically cover around 200km in stop-start traffic.

That range is about 60 percent of what a number of EVs currently on sale in Singapore can do.

But to its credit, the MINI Electric is relatively inexpensive. The Cooper SE variant’s price is an estimated $163,000 with COE.

Buy a DC diesel generator, install a roof rack, strap the generator on the roof rack. Can eliminate range anxiety. Haha...Maybe Mr Bean can base its new tv series on such a setup. LoL...

But cannot siam tax. COE will be based on the kW or hp it produce and tax according to hp. Might as well get a petrol engine MINI.

Dont think it is practical here.

Maxes out at 150 km/h?

That means it cannot even do 100 mph.

Even a Perodua Axia is faster.
