The new fully electric Mini will be built at the Cowley plant in Oxford, BMW has confirmed.

The model is set to go into production in 2019, with the Oxford plant being the main location where the new model will be built. Although the electric motor will be built in Germany and shipped over, the news has still been well received by the UK automotive industry.
