Electric

Cant see a thread, has anyone got a full electric Mini?

If so, thoughts?

Is the range at 145ish as they claim??

Evening,

I have a 2020 Level 2.

In my experience its very achievable - longest trip ive done is 78 miles, kept to 60mph and had 48% left.
Car wow got 150miles, some americans have had 115-120miles but im guessing they are doing 70+mph.

Great car and lots of fun.

As much as the car is fun i can only recommend if:
your commute is no longer then 40miles each way.
Can charge at home or have sufficient infrastructure around you.

Range is mediocre but its pros way out-do the cons (in my very humble opinion).

I’ve had my 2021 L2 for a couple of months now, and I’d say 120-125 is the most I see - obviously that’s with my driving style, on my local roads, with the traffic volumes I encounter.

Really impressed with mine so far, genuinely a more enjoyable drive than the Abarth 595 that preceded it.

thanks

it would be for the wife, she does about 150 a week going to work and back, and dropping kids off, so on that basis wouldnt be completely unsuitable.
we would have a charge point at home, and she has one at work, so fairly easy to keep topping up.

Sounds like it would be fine - I probably charge once a week and maybe at the weekend, obviously not from empty each time.

This morning’s commute was fairly typical - 15.3 miles, used 9% battery and reduced the indicated range by 8 miles.

Edit to update with more figures:

3 commutes this week, 95.1 actual miles with an estimated 34 range left and 33% battery remaining. Depending on which of those you believe, that should work out to 130 - 140 miles on a full charge.
