We recently received confirmation that the first
all-electric Mini production model will be built in the UK and now the latest
word on the street indicates the vehicle will debut at next month's Frankfurt
Motor Show.
Rather than being a bespoke model, the electric Mini
will be a battery-powered version of the three-door Hatchback and BMW Blog
reports that it will premiere in just a couple of weeks.
Neither BMW or Mini have confirmed the news but we
do know the hatchback's electric powertrain will be built by BMW at its
e-mobility center in Bavaria before being delivered to the Mini factory in
Oxford, UK for installation.
Production of the electric Mini will commence in
2019 and the car will be followed shortly after to the market by an all-electric
BMW X3.
