London electric automobiles (LEC) has launched a new electric conversion kit for the original Mini, which it says is one of the much more affordable electrified classics on the market. prices start from £25,000, excluding the cost of the donor automobile and relevant taxes, which makes it look relatively affordable compared with other players in the electrified classic automobile sector.

LEC’s conversion for the small uses a compact 20kWh battery pack, which keeps the cost low but slashes the car’s range to between 60 and 70 miles under city driving conditions.

The conventional battery can be upgraded with larger 25kWh or 33kWh units, which offer up to 90 and 120 miles of range respectively.
Prices for the 25kWh automobile start from £27,000, while the 33kWh model starts from £30,000. LEC will even fit an huge 40kWh battery as a special request, although this version requires the rear seats to be removed due to the size of the cells.
To make the most of the car’s dinky dimensions (and keep what little storage space the small has), the split battery pack is mounted under the rear bench and in the boot. The batteries are reclaimed from used Nissan Leafs and can be topped-up using any type 1 or type 2 charging point, as well as a private home wallbox or a three-pin plug.
