The MINI Aceman is one of the few cars in this class that offers buyers a choice of battery sizes, meaning if range isn’t all that important, you can save a bit of money and opt for the lighter, more efficient model.

All Acemans use a single electric motor mounted to the front axle, with the base ‘E’ model featuring a 42.5Wh battery for up to 192 miles of range. We’ve not tried this version, but even the punchier ‘SE’ model, with its bigger motor and larger 54.2kWh battery, managed around 3.8mi/kWh on our test route. That was over a mix of roads, as well as in cool autumn temperatures of around 10-12 degrees.

Whichever Aceman you go for, you get a mediocre peak charging speed of 95kW. While that might have been a stand-out feature five years ago, it’s nothing to write home about today; the Jeep, Peugeot etc all manage 100kW, while a Volkswagen ID.3 can do 135kW or more. Still, those speeds should allow the MINI to recharge from 10-80 per cent in around half an hour – with the bigger-battery car taking slightly longer.
