MINI Plant Oxford has hit a significant milestone by building more than 11,000 MINI Electrics since production began, just before the plant\u2019s annual summer shutdown. MINI\u2019s first all-electric model<\/a> was introduced in Summer 2019. MINI says that over 3,000 orders have been placed for UK market so far.<\/p>\n The car is fully integrated into the production process at Oxford, running down the same line as the combustion engine models, joining the MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid. These two models have proved extremely popular in the UK and together account for 19 per cent of worldwide electrified MINI sales. A quarter of all UK MINI Countryman orders are for the plug-in hybrid version.<\/p>\n David George, Director, MINI UK, said \u201cWe\u2019re delighted the MINI Electric is such a success in the UK and that our customers love the car as much as we do. It\u2019s fantastic to see the growing popularity of electrified vehicles \u2013 the UK already accounts for nearly a fifth of global MINI Electric and MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid sales and we know that demand is increasing.\u201d<\/p>\n
