The article discusses the emergence of new city-sized electric cars, including a high-performance, John Cooper Works (JCW) version of the new electric Mini Cooper three-door hatch. Overseas reports claim the electric JCW is due next year, with Australian arrivals expected in 2025. Mini has also previewed the styling of its first electric hot hatch with a JCW-branded styling pack for the Cooper E and Cooper SE. The electric JCW may produce approximately 185kW, improving upon the SE’s 6.7-second 0-100km/h acceleration time. The petrol-powered JCW will live on for another generation, while the new Mini Cooper electric car is underpinned by a dedicated electric architecture co-developed with China’s GWM.
