Mini Cooper Electric first drive: great fun on four wheels

Mini Cooper SE.

You don’t need to go fast to have fun in some cars. The latest Mini Cooper is one such model. Put this car into its very aptly named Go Kart Mode and you’ll be beaming ear to ear without breaking a single speed limit. 

That’s not to say the electric Cooper isn’t fast – the SE version with its larger battery and faster acceleration can really fly – but it’s still fun at moderate speeds too. The Cooper name is now used for all of Mini’s small hatchback models and comes in three-door, five-door and convertible forms. The electric model, however, only comes in three-door form. Despite similar looks, it’s a completely different car from the petrol models.
