Many drivers wonder if maintaining a hybrid vehicle differs significantly from servicing traditional gas-powered cars.
The video above is from 2017, showcasing an Electric MINI concept car that showed it stuff at the Frankfurt IAA Motor Show. Will the production car look similar? Only time will tell.

Starting with the standard John Cooper Works (JCW) Hardtop, a three-door hatchback MINI, the JCW Knights Edition adds numerous features, inside and out to make a bold statement.
