Mini Aceman: small EV, tiny BIK bill
Illustration generated for THRIVE

The Aceman starts at £28,905, roughly £2,000 above its Cooper Electric stablemate, and on paper that premium is easy to justify: 252 miles of WLTP range and up to 1,005 litres of boot space with the seats down, useful if drivers are ferrying kit rather than just commuting. What actually matters for cost is the 4% BIK rate confirmed for 2026/27, which keeps small EVs like this one comfortably cheaper than any petrol equivalent for a driver, and via salary sacrifice employees are typically saving 20-50% against a personal lease. The segment is heating up too, with searches for "mini electric car" climbing steadily. Worth a look before drivers default straight to the Cooper. (The Electric Car Scheme)
