What is the top speed of the Mini Electric in km/h?

The story behind the answer

The top speed of the Mini Electric is 150 km/h.

Also marketed as the Mini Cooper SE outside the United Kingdom, the Mini Electric is the battery-electric version of the third-generation Mini Hatch. BMW introduced it for the 2020 model year, pairing a front-mounted electric motor with front-wheel drive.

Its 135 kW motor produces 184 hp and 270 Nm of torque, giving the small hatchback brisk acceleration: 0–100 km/h takes about 7.3 seconds. The 150 km/h figure is an electronically limited maximum, not simply the fastest speed the motor could theoretically produce.

A common mix-up is confusing this car with newer electric Mini models. The first-generation Mini Electric/Cooper SE covered by this question has the 150 km/h limit, while later electric models use different platforms and specifications. The limit also reflects the car’s urban-focused design and helps balance performance, efficiency and battery range.
