The Best Used Electric Car To Buy? | Mini Cooper S E

Today we jump into the drivers seat of the Mini Cooper S Electric. Electric cars are now a steal in this current market! Personally, I think it's a lot of car for the money!
The car produces 181bhp from it 32.6kWh battery with a claimed 0-60 time of 7.3 seconds (Very conservative time by the way...)

I have a 2023 Mini Cooper electric and here in SoCal I get about 140-150 miles depends on whether I drive on the freeway or street.

[@langdonalger149]

How do you do that? I live in SoCal and I get about 100 mi., not driving like a maniac or anything- yet I don’t event get close to that range.

[@ra65c83]

I’m in SoCal too and get about the same with mixed driving.

[@langdonalger149]

@@ra65c83 I see, thanks. What falls under “mixed driving” if you care to elaborate…I get an average 3.7 mi/kWh and that’s pretty much what I see in forums and Reddit threads

I recently drove one and I'm so glad you can turn off one pedal driving, it made my passenger sick when we took out a Tesla, the mini felt like a normal car to drive for the most part.

I use one every day - max 106 miles - which is fine for commuting

You use it for what it’s been intended for!

Nice review, a small point, yes they can accelerate quicker than the official figures. But if doing 0-60 mph then expect that to be lower than the 0-100 kph / 62 mph. As to Traction Control off, Dynamic OFF. HOLD the switch for 3 Seconds, switch it all off. As to 0-62. Tyre dependent. Actually in MID you can match the SPORT times, SOMETIMES. or TC on can if on a good surface and no wheel spin. I get better performance with 195 / 16,s All seasons on compared to the 205 all seasons on 17" rims. and much better than the shockingly bad Goodyear Eagle F1 205 / 45 R 17,s it came now wearing.

The battery range even in cold weather might well be 100 miles with 100%. just under 30 kWh usable battery, and if it was doing 3.3 miles a kWh on the last trip, if it was getting 4 miles a kWh or so it might show 114 miles or so. It will seldom show more than 120 miles, but you might well get 120 miles. Getting near 145 miles needs a bit of hypermiling. Worst i have had in well below zero temp and half 70 mph max motorway and half NSL is 85 miles from 100% to 5 %. That is in Sport. I only use MID, GREEN or Green + if the cruise control is on and i am going to stuggle to get to a Rapid Charger in Scotland or at least a 11 kW AC. Charge Place Scotland / SWARCO and local authority maintenance is pathetic for chargers. Small Battery and quick charging / 50 kW or if not on an 11 kW AC suits me.

I had a 23 plate one of these a few weeks back with 500 miles on the clock , range at 95% full was 87 miles. Think I’d go BMW I3 over this , if I was in the market for a second , city commuter, odd jobs car .
