MINI Countryman Now Eligible for £3,750 Government Electric Car Grant

The new MINI Countryman Electric has officially been added to the list of vehicles eligible for the UK Government’s £3,750 Electric Car Grant, making it one of the latest fully electric models to benefit from support aimed at helping more drivers make the switch to zero-emission motoring.

The Government’s Electric Car Grant is designed to reduce the upfront cost of new electric vehicles, which is one of the biggest barriers for drivers considering going electric. Since its launch in July, the scheme has already helped over 40,000 motorists choose cleaner, greener vehicles.

With its combination of practicality, style, and efficiency, the MINI Countryman Electric now becomes an even more appealing choice for families and everyday drivers across Northern Ireland.

Why the MINI Countryman Qualifies

To be eligible for the Electric Car Grant, EVs must meet strict criteria, including:

Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of £37,000 or less
Maximum electric driving range of 286 miles.
Three-year or 60,000-mile vehicle warranty
Battery warranty of at least eight years or 100,000 miles

The MINI Countryman Electric fits all these requirements, offering a blend of value, range and build quality, backed by MINI’s trusted warranty protection.

A Big Boost for EV Buyers

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander commented on the scheme’s rapid success and the significance of expanding the list of eligible models:

“Our Electric Car Grant has already supported over 40,000 drivers to choose electric, and this latest expansion doubles the number of models available for the top discount, putting thousands of pounds back in more families’ pockets.

We’re doubling down on our drive to help people buy EVs, extending the grant to push down costs and boosting charging access with a further £200 million to expand the charging network across the UK.”

The addition of the MINI Countryman to the scheme means drivers can now enjoy MINI’s latest and most versatile fully electric model with a £3,750 reduction in purchase cost - a significant incentive at a time when interest in EVs continues to grow.

The new MINI Countryman Electric offers:

All-electric driving with impressive real-world range
