LONDON: MINI’s latest circular media system as part of their fresh new design language, seamlessly integrates Parkopedia’s award-winning EV charging data into the vehicle, making the charging process a more enjoyable experience.
This enables drivers across the USA, Europe and Asia to easily locate EV charging from the comfort of their cars.
EV charging data plays a central role in the latest generation of electric MINIs, which feature the automotive world’s first circular in-car OLED screen.
The new models feature a high-resolution 240mm screen, and retain the iconic MINI design of a circular central dial.
The lower part of the screen is dedicated to important functions including navigation, which can be accessed at any time.
As part of true driver convenience, the MINI OLED screen sits at the heart of the cabin, providing all core vehicle data, navigation, connected services, media and climate controls.
The ‘ambience’ of the car can now be tailored to the driver’s personal preferences through distinct new MINI Experience Modes.
The central OLED display contributes to a clean and uncluttered interior layout that reduces distractions.
This innovative in-car technology is available across a broad range of global markets, including the USA, Europe and Asia.
MINI Navigation features 3D visualisation and augmented reality displays as well as providing information on free parking spaces, with integrated in-car payment functionality.
Charging is often seen as troublesome and tedious by EV drivers, with more than 90% of EV drivers being anxious about charging, according to the latest Parkopedia Global Driver Survey, with 44% having run out of charge before.
The new circular OLED screen and seamless functionality aim to make charging a pleasing experience.
OLED screens are thinner and offer greater colour and contrast than LED equivalents, providing a more punchy image and greater clarity on the move.
Integration of connected car services from Parkopedia offers added value to MINI drivers through parking and charging data and seamless in-car payments.
This enables drivers of the latest generation of MINI models to search for parking and charging effortlessly from within the vehicle, navigate to these locations and pay for parking directly through the vehicle.
