All-Electric Vehicle Sales Grow Approximately 88% Year-on-Year

MINI announced on the 11th that it sold a total of 105,535 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) worldwide last year. This means that more than one-third of the 288,290 vehicles sold in total last year were all-electric, representing an increase of approximately 88% year-on-year and numerically proving the brand’s successful electrification.


In the Korean market as well, MINI is continuing its smooth transition to electrification. MINI Korea officially launched the three-model All-Electric MINI Family in March 2025, introducing all-electric versions across the brand’s entire lineup, including the MINI Cooper, Aceman, and Countryman.

MINI Korea sold a total of 1,889 all-electric vehicles last year. Out of MINI Korea’s total sales of 7,990 units in 2025, all-electric vehicles accounted for approximately 24%, meaning that one out of every four MINIs sold in Korea last year was an electric vehicle.


MINI Korea’s all-electric lineup benefits from the application of a battery management system, high battery energy density, and comprehensive expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure by BMW Group Korea, and as an incentive, government subsidies for electric vehicle purchases this year have increased significantly compared to last year.


For national subsidies, The All-Electric MINI Aceman is set at 4 million won for all trims, up 940,000 won from the previous year, and when combined with local government subsidies, buyers can receive up to 9.5 million won (based on Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do). The All-Electric MINI Cooper SE is also set at 3.96 million won, an increase of 930,000 won from last year, and including local government subsidies, buyers can receive up to 9.15 million won (based on Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do).



The All-Electric MINI Cooper received excellent scores in all four assessment categories of Euro NCAP, the European New Car Assessment Programme: adult occupant protection, child occupant protection, protection of vulnerable road users (such as pedestrians and cyclists), and safety assist systems. In particular, every trim, including not only the SE but also the JCW, demonstrated top-level safety, proving strong competitiveness.
