Mini abandoned plans for a complete transition to electric trough by 2030

The vice president of the brand Michael Payton said that cars with internal combustion engines are still popular in the North American market. In this regard, the brand will continue to invest in the development of machines equipped with gasoline power plants. Plans for the electrification of the lineup will be completed later.

Mini plans to release a new crossover with an internal combustion engine, which will replace the Aceman electric SUV in the United States. In addition, the battery version of the Cooper hatchback, as well as an electric convertible, will not go on sale to the North American market. Due to the popularity of machines with traditional engines, the company postpone plans for the electrification of the lineup. At the same time, the manufacturer plans to develop a battery line based on the Rocketman concept.

Mini abandoned the electric convertible due to weak mini sales changes in the production of electric cars due to poor demand now with the ICE: Mini declared “charged” hatchback and convertible JCW

In the first quarter of 2025, the share of electric vehicles in BMW Group supplies, including Mini and Rolls-Royce models, amounted to 18.7 percent. At the same time, Bavarians plan to reach 50 percent by 2030. However, the real figure will depend on market demand and infrastructure development.

At the end of February, Mini refused to foam electric vehicles in the UK. The company made a decision due to low demand for battery transport.
