Mini is now converting classic models to run on electricity at its factory in Oxford, U.K.
Owners of the original Issigonis-designed Mini can now have their cars converted to run on electricity under a new program called Mini Recharged, which is being handled at the Mini factory in Oxford, U.K.
The program sees the original engine, transmission and exhaust removed and a battery and electric motor installed. Mini is light on details but said the electric motor delivers a maximum 120 hp, which is enough for 0-60 mph acceleration in about nine seconds. The battery is big enough to deliver an estimated range of close to 100 miles, meaning the conversion will only suit buyers who plan to remain in urban environments. The maximum rate for charging is 6.6 kilowatts.
The Mini Recharged team also updates the central instrument cluster so that it displays remaining range instead of fuel, and whether you're in reverse, neutral or drive. A charging port is also added to the rear, where the fuel filler cap normally sits.Mini said the conversion doesn't require new registration of the vehicle, and can be reversed should the customer desire. The removed internal-combustion components can be marked and stored.
