The chosen charge stop is beyond the range indicator, which is also being widely optimistic.
Considering the ad is suggesting how clever the car is at not doing exactly that!

I had assumed that the chequered flag was supposed to represent the final destination and not a charging stop.The chosen charge stop is beyond the range indicator, which is also being widely optimistic.

Assuming it’s the same software as my BMW, that’s what the chequered flag does mean… the nav will route you via a charging point if needed, The advert will be pulled and a massive recall strategy is being formulated as we speak.
They should all be shot for such a mistake.
OP will be head hunted and recruited by BMW as Global head of QA

As a mini ev owner I can tell you the range meter (or guessometer as we call it) is very pessimistic. It always under estimates range. It’s so bad the owners club always tells new owners to ignore it and work on %battery = miles left. That’s for the old model, which is a small battery short range, but light and chuckable EV, not sure on the new one.
