Why Should I Care About EVs?
Every driver should care about electric vehicles because they represent the future of the automotive industry. With the number of severe weather events increasing just about every year due to global warming, motorists need to do their part to limit their impact on the environment. For many, that means making the switch to automobiles that consume green energy rather than fossil fuels.
Are EVs Eco-Friendly?
Electric vehicles are the eco-friendliest of all automobiles currently available. Since they consume electricity exclusively, EVs don’t release any harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
What EVs does the MINI Brand Manufacture?
“EV” refers to any vehicle that has an electric motor that sends power directly to the wheels on a part-time basis at least. That means the term accounts for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles as well as all-electric cars. When you look through the latest MINI models at our location, you’ll see the carmaker we represent produces the MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid along with the MINI Electric Hardtop.
Can I Finance a MINI Cooper Electric Vehicle?

How can I Charge a Battery-Electric Car?
There are three types of charging for EVs, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 or DC Fast Charging. Level 1 charging is the slowest while DC Fast Charging is the quickest option to charge an EV.
Is it Less Expensive to Charge an EV than it is to Fill up with Gas?
Charging an EV is less expensive than filling up a similar car with fuel. Conservative estimates indicate EV owners will save about $1,000 on fuel annually.
