How far can you go in the city with a Mini Cooper SE 16.8 kWh, 184 hp?

I’m gonna have to make sure I didn’t drive the car myself. So I can’t wait up with my own experience for this car.

With your question, I also notice that you can add the battery capacity with only 16.8 kWh. This seems to me extremely little, even after a short search. Is that a typo? As I have now found out, the battery should have at least 32.6 kWh.

Electric cars are extremely economical in urban transport. What the car consumes at the end depends on many factors. How warm (saving) or cold (more consumption) is it just outside, the road is wet (some more consumption) or maybe even snow (clear extra consumption), you regularly use the full acceleration (more consumption), or drive forward-looking and sail a lot (saving), you have really thick “buckles” on it (more consumption) or Cool rims (more consumption especially on the highway).

In the city, I think a consumption of 15 – 17 kWh is a realistic daily consumption. Since the battery, for stress avoidance reasons, hardly ever runs completely empty, but in any case still so approx. If you roll to the charging column, cars with such a small battery (I drove a Smart Forfour with 17 kWh for 2 years) have a range of 80 to 100 km which can be used in practice depending on the season.

However, if the battery is larger, what I suspect, the range of practice increases disproportionately, because the reserve you plan will be less and less important. If the capacity is around twice as large with 32.6 kWh, you can use a car in the regional area at any rate.

My wife, as her first electroauot, had an EUp! of 17.5 kWh until 3 years ago. The car was hanging on the charging column every day with us as well as in the company. He always felt almost empty. Although this was not the case, of course. After all, she drove around 20,000 km each year. Now she has the same car with the 32.3 kWh battery for 3 years and always says she has virtually “infinite” range. It uses the car to commute every day 2x 35 km (car and city traffic) and to visit your parents and friends (approximately 60 km of easy route) both manages them without having to load on the road. In everyday life, the car hangs to the column every day in the company, but also creates 2 Törns (140 km inseminated) when she forgets the shop.

The long speech short sense. Just as I have the mini visually in mind, it might consume a little more than an EUp! but with 16.8 kWh battery (if there is) you can count at most 70 to 80 km of practically usable range. With 32.6 kWh battery, up to 180 km could be realistic.
