The Mini Electric supermini now comes with an added incentive for those thinking about buying one.
Customers who order a Mini Electric before 31 March 2023 will receive a free home charging wallbox.
The offer includes installation of the wallbox by Pod Point, Mini’s official EV charging partner. It applies to vehicles bought via Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) and Personal Contract Hire (PCH) finance.
Home charging solved
Pod Point will supply a home wallbox capable of topping up the Mini Electric from 0-80 percent battery charge in just three hours.
Using a dedicated wallbox for charging is faster than a domestic three-pin plug socket. It also allows Mini owners to access the Pod Point smartphone app.
In line with the latest smart charging legislation, the Pod Point app means Mini Electric owners can schedule charging for off-peak hours. It can also be used to track charging activity, add up costs and view usage history.
Installation of the free wallbox needs to take place before 31 March 2024, and is subject to the buyer’s home wiring being up to the relevant standards.
Big benefits for Mini owners
Customers who already have a wallbox for home charging do not miss out, however. Mini offers the option of a £750 deposit contribution instead of the wallbox.
All Mini Electric owners are eligible for free 12-month access to the Mini Charging service. This allows access to more than 11,000 public chargepoints in the UK, including Ionity and Instavolt rapid charging devices.
Prices for the Mini Electric start from £29,000, which includes satellite navigation, a digital dashboard and smartphone connectivity as standard.
Fitted with a 32.6kWh battery, the Mini Electric is officially capable of covering up to 145 miles when fully charged.
