Hello from Richardson, This is really nice to see a real SE owner in DFW, great video, seems like SE is doing a lot better then my Volt in winter. I was asking if you can do 70mph range test on 75. Then I saw you already have a video about it. I think I may going to order mine soon.
Very interesting. Don't think I'll be driving in 30 degree weather here in Tampa Bay area. Well maybe a few days a year. It's still above the rated range of 110 miles, though.
@@AndysComputer Which trim do you have? I'm debating whether I should just live with classic trim's regular cruise vs pay extra to update to adaptive cruise. Any idea how that would impact the mileage? Thanks for the video study by the way. truly helpful (and hopeful)
So are the Mini's dashboard statistics wrong? As in the video the Mini said you averaged 4.2 miles per kWh, yet your calculations on distance over battery used comes out around 4.75 miles per kWh which would be correct at 44% battery and 77 miles covered. The 4.2 m/kWh would correlate with the car saying you have around 50 miles or range remaining. Maybe thats the reason for the Mini Cooper SE's very pessimistic GOM readings at 100%. That 0.6 m/kWh doesn't sound a lot but thats a 17 mile difference over the whole battery on what the Mini would predict over what your would actually get.
The numbers on the dash for mi/kWh don't add up with the miles covered and battery percentage. The usable battery capacity is 28.9kWh so either 100% is not 28.9, or the measurement for the trip computer is wrong. I tried the math using the gross battery capacity but it still doesn't add up. I even tried using power from the wall (ie including charging losses) and again it doesn't add up. Given how bad the GOM is I am going to stick with the battery percentage and range as the two important numbers, and my calculation of the efficiency based on them as a nice to know but not something important.
When I bought my SE, I didn’t even make it home. I had 30 miles left to my house with only 10 mile range. It was a cold night in January south of Texas. It’s no the MINIs fault. The that there’s no charging ports in this area 😔
Are you. long way from your dealer and did they supply it fully charged? Ours only had 30% charge because we wanted to pick it up before they had a chance to charge it but we were less than 10 miles away...
Interesting video, thanks for sharing. At least I don’t have to worry about this issue in south Florida
I suspect the hot weather test will be of more use to you, but I guess we're both going to have to wait a little for that!

Very helpful video. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

Yes, cold weather is not something you really need to concern yourself with, Florida is the perfect place for an EV!
Super helpful. Did you drive with or without cruise control/adaptive cruise?
Most of the time manually, but I used the cruise for the longer stretches where traffic was light as ours does not have the adaptive cruise.
