After the SEAI Private Car Grant of €3,500, the net cost is approximately €32,700. The range starts from €39,010 list price. Confirm current pricing with your authorised dealer and verify grant eligibility at seai.ie.

Yes. Company car drivers benefit from the BIK (Benefit in Kind) OMV deduction of €20,000 in 2026, significantly reducing taxable BIK on EVs.

Both excel where MINI always has — city driving, tight parking and spirited suburban roads.

☀️ Charge from your own solar — free km from your roof

A 4kWp home solar system generates approximately 3,400–3,800 kWh/year in Ireland. Without a home battery, typically only around 20–30% of that can be diverted to EV charging via a smart charger like myenergi Zappi — the rest covers household use or exports to the grid. That's roughly 4928–8262km of free driving a year in the Aceman Electric, more if you're often home during daylight hours.

🌡️ SEAI grants: combine EV + heat pump + solar for up to €14,600

The SEAI EV Home Charger grant (€300) can be applied alongside a Heat Pump grant (up to €12,500) and Solar PV grant (€1,800) — all in a single application. Switching your home heating to a heat pump while installing an EV charger and solar is the highest-savings combination available to Irish homeowners in 2026.
