Video Summary
Here's a summary of the key points made in the video:- The Seat Mii Electric is a nearly identical four-seat, five-door hatchback to the Volkswagen e-Up and the Skoda Citigo-e.
- As a new car, it was the cheapest pure electric, coming in at £20,000 after the government grant.
- It gets a range of 161 miles on the official test cycle, but careful driving can yield 150+ miles.
- A full charge on a home wall box takes about five and a half hours.
- At a charging station, a 40kW feed takes about 50 minutes to top up.
- There are no third seat belts in the rear, so it's a four-seater only.
- Front seat passengers will find space adequate, even if they're over six feet tall.
- The boot is bigger than one might expect and features a split floor.
- To start the car, a key must be placed in the hole and turned.
- Three modes are available: normal, Eco, and Eco plus (which limits top speed to 59mph).
- There have been no serious recalls other than one to fix battery issues on cars produced between May and June of 2020.
- With so few moving parts, they are super reliable.
- There are more modern electric cars appearing all the time, but the simplicity of the Seat Mii Electric is actually comforting.
- Prices tend to be higher than the Seat even though it's actually the same car.
- The Seat Mii Electric is recommended as an excellent, easy-to-drive, and efficient electric vehicle that's handy around town.
