The Mini Electric is the first fully electric car I have ever driven and it's safe to say I was surprised at just how well this car handles... My only slight criticism would be the range, there isn't enough infrastructure in place just yet to sway me into buying an electric car.
Stats include a 0-60 in 7.3 seconds, 199 lb ft torque, 182hp and a range between 124-144 miles.
A massive thank you to Mini Colchester for allowing me to borrow their car - @minicolchester

Wow! This video was very well done, Grace! I agree. That startup sound is quite neat. Very spaceship-like indeed. Also, nice visual pans and superb commentary. You had me intrigued and listening from start to finish. Regarding the range anxiety, you're absolutely correct. Most people probably won't deplete/come that close to empty unless they forgot to charge it overnight or are going on a MINI road trip. Lol! 😆 You see what I did there? Anyways, I'm very impressed. You got a new sub. From one auto enthusiast to another, keep up the excellent work!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, your feedback in much appreciated. If I could charge this car overnight I would probably own one, although the adventure would have to be very “mini” with a range of 100 miles! 😆 Hopefully a new video soon. Look forward to seeing more from you!

I’m still not completely sold on the whole electric car scene-I understand the benefits but it really isn’t like owning a raw engine, the smells, the noise, a proper engine etc! I like the look of the mini electric compared to other brands. Another great video! 💫

@gracedavies5716 3 года назад

I agree with you, it’s certainly isn’t the same as your Cooper S, I miss the pops/bangs and the engine noise too. Thank you for watching Lou 🥰

At the moment, I don’t think England’s infrastructure is good enough for electric cars. A few more years and these cars will be perfect every day run arounds! Great video Grace!

@gracedavies5716 3 года назад

I definitely agree with you - and the fact that the range is so limited 😳 Hopefully this car will be a contender in the future when decided what EV to own. Thanks for watching!

MINI quotes 0-60 in 6.9, or 0-100kph in 7.3 - however in the real world, it actually is a lot faster, faster in fact than the petrol cooper S. It will do 0-60 in 6.3s (6.0 is you use the US 1 foot rollout method). It is a really quick little car. Also, around town and in a warmer climate, I am getting about 150miles range (charging around 130-140 so I don't run out). Nice video - I enjoyed it.

Thank you for your information ☺️ Glad you’re getting good range on yours, there are so many factors that go into consideration. Thank you for watching my video!

It is worth noting that there are steam cars from over 90 years ago that are just as quiet, if not quite than a modern electric car. Some of them also started with a key and take about a minute to get a good head of steam.

@gracedavies5716 3 года назад

Thank you! I loved it too, just wish that range was around 200-250 👀

Heat Video as always Grace! That’s my worry with an electric car, I’m usually the type of person who’s almost at zero before I go for fuel so this would have me stranded haha!

@gracedavies5716 3 года назад

Thanks Dylan! Yes I’m exactly the same, I’m too last minute where as the electric needs you to plan more in advance. Hopefully more charging stations will be available over the next few years 🤞🏼

@DylansCarReviews 3 года назад

@@gracedavies5716 I think they will. The whole world is going electric, they need to pick up the speed on the infrastructure lol although, that service station does look pretty cool already!

That introduction is what I call female power, finally showing who is in charge. Massive step up this video much more comfortable with the camera and natural. It's an interesting review with good content. Keep up that good work. We need your talent and effort, future will show that this is a path for success. Hope all the best, stay safe.

@gracedavies5716 3 года назад

Thank you so much! I’m definitely getting used to talking to the camera so I’m glad that comes across in my video. I appreciate your comments and support 😁

Always love a mini ,, not sure about an electric one though 🤔. Great video and interesting and informative content . Lots of pros and cons ..Still on the fence for this one. GOOD JOB Grace 👍

@gracedavies5716 3 года назад

I’m definitely still on the fence with this one too... just needs more of a range to sell it for me, but I certainly won’t be owning an electric car until I physically have to - petrol all day, every day for me 😬😳 thanks for watching!

@steveharvey2001 3 года назад

An 11kW home charge is only possible if you have a 3 phase electric supply, which hardly any homes have. 7kW is the realistic power rating which will charge from empty to full in 4 hours.

@gracedavies5716 3 года назад

Thank you for that Steve, I appreciate the knowledge check!

@justinw1765 3 года назад

I'm not sure what is available in Britain, but as a US citizen, other than slightly lower price, why would a consumer go for this over say a Tesla Model 3 with it's greater space, longer range, etc?

@ausingtv 3 года назад

13k lower price

@justinw1765 3 года назад

@@ausingtv It looks more like 10k to me. But you're getting a lot more car for that 10k. Living in Britain, a mini electric makes more sense. But living in other places that are much larger with more space in between towns, cities, etc, Tesla M3 makes more sense. Personally, I'm not interested in either, but am highly interested in the Aptera base model with all Solar panels. Less expensive than both. Actually, I would probably pay the extra 2500 for the all wheel drive, which would put it at about the same price as the Mini.
