Exclusive: MINI USA Will Not Import The J01 Electric MINI Cooper & Aceman In The Near Future

It’s official. After a year of anticipation, MINI USA has decided not to import the J01 electric MINI Cooper and MINI Aceman for the time being. For over a year, the official stance was that they were “evaluating” bringing the J01 and J05 to North America. With this news, MINI USA has decided to wait before making a formal decision. However that doesn’t mean there’s no hope of the new MINI EVs eventually reaching the US and Canada.
With this statement, MINI USA is effectively holding off on a formal announcement until there’s greater clarity around tariffs and UK production. However, simply manufacturing both cars in the UK won’t necessarily make them tariff-free.
