What are the running costs?

The Aceman’s reasonably-sized battery options will help keep charging costs low, given less charge will be needed when you plug in. Naturally, using public chargers will ramp up your costs here, but the Aceman claims to be reasonably efficient with its electricity use.

During our drive that mixed country road zigs, urban street zags and a bit of motorway cruising, we managed around 3.6 miles per kWh – Mini claims between 4.1 and 4.4. That resulted in a predicted real-world range of around 200 miles. Good enough? It won’t be for some – especially given the Aceman’s rather timid charging speeds.

Servicing and warranty

MINI offers a three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty as standard on all its cars and, for electric models, the warranty includes an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery pack. The firm also offers warranty extensions directly, and offers servicing options.

Reliability

Good reliability record for the brand
Fewer moving parts in EV
Tech shared across several models

The Aceman is on a relatively new architecture and chassis, meaning a lot of the technology is new to buyers. While some of the brand’s tech is proven, and therefore reliable, we’d have to reserve judgement on long-term reliability for now.

But as this model was developed to be an EV from the outset, and tech is shared with the MINI Cooper Electric and GWM Ora 03 reliability shouldn’t be an issue.
