The Mini Countryman E now qualifies for the full £3,750 UK Government Electric Car Grant, bringing the entry-level price down to £29,255 for the Classic trim.
Government officials announced that Mini’s electric SUV – positioned to compete with the Kia EV3 and Skoda Elroq – joins seven other models in the grant’s highest discount tier.
The Countryman E Monochrome edition comes next at £29,555 after the grant. This version features blacked-out wheels and comes in either black or white.
Moving up the range, the Countryman E Exclusive costs £31,755 with its more premium styling. The flagship Sport trim tops the lineup at £32,955, featuring JCW-inspired design elements throughout the interior and exterior.
Battery and Range Options
All Countryman E models use the same 64.7kWh battery pack. Range depends on which drivetrain you choose.
The front-wheel-drive version produces 201bhp and delivers 286 miles of range. The all-wheel-drive ALL4 system reduces that slightly to 266 miles but adds traction in challenging conditions.
Grant Expansion
The Countryman E wasn’t the only new addition to the Electric Car Grant. Renault’s 4 and 5 models, plus the Alpine A290, also qualified for the full £3,750 discount.
That brings the total number of vehicles eligible for the top-tier grant to eight. The complete list includes:
- Citroën e-C5 Aircross Long Range
- Ford Puma Gen-E
- Ford E-Tourneo Courier
- Nissan Leaf
Over 40,000 UK drivers have used the Electric Car Grant since its July launch.
The government reinforced its commitment to EV adoption during the recent Autumn Budget. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced an additional £1.3 billion for the grant program, extending it through 2030. The package also includes £200 million for public charging infrastructure.
This expansion signals the government’s long-term strategy to accelerate electric vehicle adoption across the UK market.
