    16:08 Our apologies, we were erroneously informed at the press event that the new model uses an LFP battery pack, when in fact only the smaller Cooper E battery is LFP. The Cooper SE as reviewed here, and now available is Malaysia, has an NMC pack that should be charged to 80%-85% max on a regular basis.
    My bad. I should do better than this.

      I was about to ask you on this since the newly launched in Malaysia is using NMC. First I was happy to know the new ev comes with LFP from this video. Thanks for the clarification

      Sorry, I've just checked with the local rep again. Yes you are correct, the Cooper SE does use an NMC battery. Only the smaller Cooper S battery is LFP. I was erroneously informed at the press drive.

    Emphasized Chinese, China too much. Everything is now almost made/manufactured in China. Focus on reviewing the car. Other than that, always love the reviews.

    New one looks more clean and feminine design. I prefer the old one more macho looks . Also its horrible to keep pushing EVs only in our face. Looks like time to get a used mini.

    So now it's not made in the UK but made in China. Wow. I'll pass.
    It's like buying an overpriced Ralph Lauren shirt. It also has ugly aspects to it.
