MINI eDRIVE
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with
the series. It also describes features and
functions that are not necessarily available
in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected op-
tions or country versions. This also applies
to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems,
the applicable laws and regulations must be
observed.
General information
This MINI is an electric vehicle. The vehicle
features a high-voltage system that consists
of an electric motor and a high-voltage bat-
tery among other things.
The eDRIVE system exhibits the following
special features:
– The vehicle is operated emissions free
using its electrical drive system.
– The special high-voltage battery sup-
plies the electric motor as well as the
comfort features with power.
– The high-voltage battery is charged via
a charging cable, for instance when
parked or while driving by energy recov-
ery.
– The vehicle can be charged very rapidly
at special charging stations. Charging is
also possible at household power sock-
ets.
– On the go, the energy recovery ensures
that only little energy is lost when brak-
ing.
– When the vehicle decelerates, the elec-
tric motor acts as a generator and con-
verts the kinetic energy released into
electric current.
– As a result the high-voltage battery is
partially recharged in order to reach
maximum range.

Functions
Electric driving: eDRIVE
The vehicle is powered exclusively by the
electric motor. The accelerator pedal can be
used not just for acceleration, but also for
deceleration. When the vehicle decelerates,
the electric motor acts as a generator and
charges the high-voltage battery. With a
sensible driving style, this function can be
used for especially efficient energy recov-
ery and comfortable driving, using just the
accelerator pedal.
