MINI Cooper SE: The First Fully Electric Car from MINI
Tags:
Introduction
The British automotive company MINI has entered the electric mobility space by revealing limited details about its first fully electric vehicle, the Cooper SE. The name Cooper SE aligns with the brand's offerings and current strategy, as it is set to launch later this year. It also fits seamlessly into the Cooper lineup, where the letter "S" denotes gasoline versions, while "SD" represents diesel models sold in other markets.
Changes in MINI Management
The announcement of the Cooper SE comes amidst management changes within the company, with Bernd Körber taking over as the brand's head, succeeding Sebastian Mackensen, who has moved to the sales division of the BMW Group in Germany. According to Peter Nota, a board member of BMW, "I look forward to working with Bernd as MINI moves towards a dynamic, urban, and electric future."
The Future of MINI Electric Vehicles
Although the British company has not shared much about the upcoming Cooper SE, it has confirmed that more electric models will be launched in the coming years. What we know so far is that despite previous efforts to demonstrate the practicality and usability of electric cars, the "MINI Cooper SE" will be the first fully electric vehicle produced on a large scale for the British brand.
