Overview

General information

This MINI is an electric vehicle. The vehicle

features a high-voltage system that consists

of an electric motor and a high-voltage bat-

tery among other things.

High-voltage battery

The eDRIVE system exhibits the following

special features:

–

The vehicle is operated emissions free

using its electrical drive system.

–

The special high-voltage battery sup-

plies the electric motor as well as the

comfort features with power.

Functions

–

The high-voltage battery is charged via

a charging cable, for instance when

parked or while driving by energy recov-

ery.

Electric driving: eDRIVE

The vehicle is powered exclusively by the

electric motor. The accelerator pedal can be

used not just for acceleration, but also for

deceleration. When the vehicle decelerates,

the electric motor acts as a generator and

charges the high-voltage battery. With a

sensible driving style, this function can be

used for especially efficient energy recov-

ery and comfortable driving, using just the

accelerator pedal.

The vehicle can be charged very rapidly

at special charging stations. Charging is

also possible at household power sock-

ets.

–

On the go, the energy recovery ensures

that only little energy is lost when brak-

ing.

–

When the vehicle decelerates, the elec-

tric motor acts as a generator and con-

Acoustic pedestrian protection

The system generates a continuous driving

noise during electric driving at low speeds.

Energy-saving driving and

maximizing the range

Energy-saving driving is the basic prerequi-

site for as large a range as possible. eDRIVE

provides various functions that assist with

an energy-saving driving style and help to

monitor the range, and if needed, to in-

crease it. The following descriptions provide

an overview of the available functions and

the personal measures.

Coasting

An especially efficient operating point is so-

called coasting. In this case, the vehicle is

decelerated only by driving resistance and

no energy flows between high-voltage bat-

tery and electric motor. In order to coast,

depress the accelerator pedal far enough so

that the pointer in the performance display,

refer to page 120, is between the areas for

ePOWER and CHARGE.

Before driving

eDRIVE allows use of the air conditioner

even before driving off. The stationary cli-

mate control, refer to page 184, provides

more range than using full air conditioning

while driving.

Energy recovery: CHARGE

The high-voltage battery is charged while

driving through energy recovery.

The electric motor acts as a generator and

converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle

into electrical energy.

Parked vehicle ventilation during the charg-

ing process can provide maximum range

when driving off.

Charging can take place in various situa-

tions while the vehicle is in motion:

Trip planning and special functions

of the navigation system

Several special functions of the navigation

system support trip planning taking into ac-

count the electric range:

–

As soon as the accelerator pedal is only

slightly depressed.

–

As soon as the accelerator pedal is not

depressed.

–

Range assistant, refer to Integrated

Owner's Manual, checks whether an en-

tered navigation destination can be

reached. If the range is not sufficient,

various recommendations to help in-

crease the range are displayed automati-

cally, for instance, a consumption opti-

mized route based on driving in GREEN

Mode is displayed.

The pointer in the instrument cluster is lo-

cated in the CHARGE area.

Sensible driving and early speed reduction

are important to make full use of the energy

recovery feature.

Automatic deactivation

Working on the vehicle

If an accident occurs, the high-voltage sys-

tem is switched off automatically to prevent

risk of danger to occupants and other traf-

fic.

General information

The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-

mends that no changes be made to the vehi-

cle, for instance the retrofitting of accesso-

hybrid system.

Read the information on What to do after

an accident, refer to page 261.

Safety information

DANGER

Improperly performed work, in particular

maintenance and repair on the high-volt-

age system, can lead to electric shock.

There is a risk of injury, fire and danger to

life.

The manufacturer of your vehicle recom-

mends that the work on the vehicle, in par-

ticular maintenance and repair, be per-

formed by a dealer’s service center or

another qualified service center or repair

shop.
