MINI Electric hits production milestone

MINI Plant Oxford has hit a significant milestone by building more than 11,000 MINI Electrics since production began, just before the plant's annual summer shutdown.

Premiered in July 2019, during the brand's 60^th anniversary year, MINI's first all-electric model is fully integrated into the production process at Oxford, running down the same line as the combustion engine models. Since its launch, more than 3,000 MINI Electric orders have been placed in the U.K..

The growth in popularity of electric vehicles means that next year, a third of MINI three-Door Hatch models built at Plant Oxford is expected to be the fully-electric model.
