Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:The review involves a winter range test of the Mini Cooper electric.
It was 28 degrees Fahrenheit during the test, which is typical weather for Cleveland.
The Mini Cooper has winter tires on it.
It took 54 minutes and $5.50 to charge from 80% to 100% at an EVGo station, a level 150 charger.
At 99%, the display initially shows 93 miles of range.
The vehicle does not have adaptive cruise control.
Smooth acceleration, rather than punching it, is more efficient.
The test parameters included: Tire pressure set, trip computer and mi/kWh reset, mid-driving mode, climate control set to 72-75 degrees, and a warmed-up battery at the charger.
3.4 mi/kWh was the average efficiency in the winter time.
The actual winter highway range achieved was 94 miles total.
EPA Rating achieved: ~82.5% of total EPA estimate in wintertime.
92-93 Miles is a safe range to expect.
EV’s are just as capable as gas cars. The mini is still impressive for a short-range EV.
