Half Of Americans Expect Electric Automotive Market To Overtake Gas-Powered Vehicles In 15 Years, According To New MINI USA Survey

A new consumer survey carried out by MINI USA finds that American consumers are increasingly looking to electrify their daily on-road travel. Releasing the results during National Drive Electric Week, the survey commissioned by Engine’s CARAVAN® reveals that half of all consumers expect the American automotive market to be mostly electric within just 15 years. Not only that, but 80% of those surveyed would also consider an electric vehicle (EV) as their primary or secondary vehicle – a clear sign of progress in the mass adoption of EVs as the ideal mode of everyday transportation for both work and leisure. more While range remains a commonly discussed concern relative to consumers’ daily driving patterns, the survey revealed that 78% of respondents do not travel more than 50 miles per day on average. With most all-electric cars today offering a range over 100 miles, this shows EVs are compatible for a strong majority of American drivers. Attainability of EVs has also increased in the eyes of the American consumer. Close to half (47%) of all those surveyed believe that EVs have become more affordable and attainable in the last two years. This is also reflected in the 32% of respondents who claimed they’d consider purchasing an electric car within the next five years. Younger consumers hold an especially positive attitude toward EVs, with Gen Z and Millennial consumers, indicating they are more likely to consider purchasing an EV in five years at 39% and 41%, respectively. They are also twice as likely to believe that electric cars fun to drive compared to older generations. “Our latest survey shows that more consumers are shifting their attention to electric vehicles as they become more attainable and compelling to own relative to gas models.” said Mike Peyton, Chief Motorer and Vice President, MINI of the Americas. “EVs are especially becoming more attractive to a new generation – ’Gen EV’ as we say. These are people who are young, fun-seeking and environmentally minded, and want more attainable, fun-to-drive EV choices such as the MINI Cooper SE. In addition to generational distinctions, regional differences were clear in the survey results. Consumers in Western states felt more optimistic (61%) about electric overtaking gas-powered vehicles in 15 years. In addition, more than half of consumers in the West also responded that they have become more knowledgeable about EVs in the last two years. In a final observation, the MINI EV survey underscores that education remains a point of continued emphasis in the EV conversation. Despite a significant majority of Americans (78%) driving far less than the range threshold of most EVs, the survey revealed that just under half of respondents believe EV range is compatible with their daily driving patterns. In light of National Drive Electric Week, the MINI survey results show opportunity still exists to have an honest conversation about the place electric vehicles already have on American roadways as a fun, reliable, and accessible option for all.

The latest MINI Anniversary Edition pays homage to iconic racing spirit and legendary Cooper performance and design.

The first Mini with a Cooper badge debuted in 1961 and hit the racetrack soon after, capturing its first victory as an overlooked underdog. Sixty years later, MINI announces a new special edition vehicle commemorating the brand’s motorsport pedigree and iconic design, called the MINI Anniversary Edition. This exclusive, commemorative MINI will be offered in limited numbers, and honors three generations of Cooper heritage with elements reflecting John Cooper’s original high-performance creation alongside his son and grandson’s contributions to the John Cooper Works brand and vehicle design. more This new special edition marks an historic milestone much in the same way the MINI World Champion 50 Edition celebrated the 50th Anniversary of John Cooper’s first Formula title. Honoring the brand’s motorsport heritage, this new Anniversary Edition harkens back to the sporty appearance of classic Cooper Car Company and MINI Cooper cars. For the US market the MINI Anniversary Edition features several iconic design characteristics: • Unlike other markets, the US cars will exclusively be built in classic British Racing Green with white bonnet stripes and red outlines, derived from Cooper Car Company design motifs. • The Cooper Car Company logo is featured on the Anniversary Edition’s door sills and side scuttles. • The number 74 is prominently placed on the hood of the Anniversary Edition as a tribute to the MINI Cooper’s first race, where the vehicle was given the number 74. The MINI Anniversary Edition is available for the John Cooper Works Hardtop 2 Door, which has strong ties to the Cooper family’s work with MINI over the last six decades. To further signal the cooperation between the Cooper family and the MINI brand, the signatures of all three Cooper generations – John Cooper, John Michael Cooper, and Charlie Cooper – are etched in the cockpit facia of all Anniversary Edition models. “The Cooper name shares a storied history with MINI, and this new Anniversary Edition reflects the Cooper performance heritage, offering a classic and sporty appearance,” said Patrick McKenna, Department Head of Marketing Product and Strategy, MINI USA. “John Cooper kicked off sixty years of performance innovation with the original Mini Cooper, and the Anniversary Edition honors the Cooper legacy that helped define MINI’s performance pedigree over the last six decades.”
