E: 08/10 Win a brand new MINI Electric! (Text)



Text for your chance to win a brand new MINI Electric, plus £500 to spend on an electric vehicle home charging point!
This brand new MINI Electric is the perfect car to make the transition over to electric vehicles. It’s the same iconic MINI style but with zero local emissions, you can feel extra smug as you zip around your neighbourhood.
The car comes in Silver White and is trimmed with yellow wing mirrors for an extra distinctive look, making it one of the most attractive and stylish electric vehicles on the market.
You can get up to 145 miles on a single full charge, and we’re going to throw in £500 so you can get an electric vehicle home charging point installed at your house!
There are now more than 42,000 charging point connectors across the UK in over 15,500 locations – that’s more public places to charge than petrol stations.
