CLIMATE IMPACT
THE CO2e FOOTPRINT OF THE MINI COOPER E.
Every vehicle leaves behind a CO2e footprint throughout its life-cycle. This life-cycle includes the procurement, production, use and recycling or disposal of raw materials and other materials. CO2 equivalents (CO2e) are a unit of measurement to standardise the climate impact of different greenhouse gases, such as methane.
Emissions generated along the supply chain, by transport logistics and upstream energy provision, are reported as CO2e. Electricity produced from regenerative in-house generation systems, direct supply contracts and certified proof of origin are all taken into account when allowing for electricity from renewable energy sources.
THE CO2e LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF A MINI COOPER E.
The difference between electricity from renewable energy sources and the EU-28 electricity mix during the usage phase of the vehicle:
RENEWABLE ENERGY.
| Total: | 14.6 t* |
| Supply chain and logistics: | 13.4 t* |
| MINI Production: | 0.2 t* |
| Renewable Energy/Usage Phase: | 0.6 t* |
| End of Life: | 0.4 t* |
*All data in t CO2e (CO2 equivalent)
EU-28 ELECTRICITY MIX.
| Total: | 23.3 t* |
| Supply chain and logistics: | 13.4 t* |
| MINI Production: | 0.2 t* |
| EU-28 Electricity Mix/Usage Phase: | 9.3 t* |
| End of Life: | 0.4 t* |
*All data in t CO2e (CO2 equivalent)
Your MINI Cooper E will be handed over to you with approx.13.6 tonnes of CO2e.
During the usage phase of the vehicle, we adopt WLTP consumption and a mileage of 200,000 km (approx. 125.000 mls). The mode of generation of the electricity used here has a major influence on the climate impact of your vehicle. A small amount of 0.6 t is allowed for the inclusion of CO2e from the construction of the energy infrastructure.
Public charging within the MINI Charging Network ensures that the equivalent amount of energy consumed with each charge is fed back into the power grid as electricity from renewable energy sources. Use of your own solar power you generate at home is possible with Connected Home Charging. This makes the MINI Cooper E CO2-emission-free while driving.
Emission values in the life-cycle assessment are equipment-specific and are given here for the MINI Cooper E left-hand drive version. The figures throughout the various life-cycle phases will differ for other models we offer.
