Mini Cooper is a fairly iconic car, but they are small so it's the perfect electric vehicle right? Alex borrowed the Mini Cooper SE for a week to find out.
Thanks to our friends at Openroad Mini Langley for lending us the car for a week! Check them out at lmg.gg/vbBQc

Correction: At 2:03 it states a 2-4 is two sets of four beer. This would be woefully inadequate for a trip to the cabin. A 2-4 is actually 24 beers, so here a total of 48 beer were referenced. -AC

I have been using the Mini EV for 1 year now and I'm averaging 13.1Kwh per 100km. I can say that in normal urban driving I get 220km on a full charge. If I stick to eco mode, this can go up to 250km on a full charge. If I drive it like I stole it, basically enjoying the instant speed at the traffic lights, 200km on a full charge.

@Dimetri Drossos First and most important. They are not making reviews, they are doing sponsored showcases/first impressions.

@@robbanpenger1341 Kilowatt is a measure of power. If you would take a measurement of how much power is flowing through the charging cable at any given time, you get back a measurement in kilowatts (kW). Kilowatthours are a measurement of sustained power over the duration of an hour. Say you are charging at 100 kW for 30 minutes, and charging at 200 kW for another 30 minutes straight after, the total sustained power over the course of the hour would amount to 150 kWh, because: (100 kW * (30/60)) + (200 kW * (30/60)) = 150 kWh. Another example, if you are charging for say 15 minutes at 100 kW, how much did you actually charge the car? Well: (100 kW * (15 / 60)) = 25 kWh. You can also take this the other way. If your car has a 100 kWh battery, how long would it take to charge the car from 0% to 100% at a 50 kW charger? Well: (100 kWh / 50 kW) = 2 hours. Or, for a more real world example: your car has a 60 kWh battery, and you're charging it at home with an 11 kW charger, so charging it would take (60 kWh / 11 kW) = approx. 5.4545 hours or (60 minutes * 5.4545) = 327.2727 minutes, or (60 minutes * 0.4545) = approx. 27 minutes plus 5 hours, or 5 hours and 27 minutes.

Absolutly loved this review, I just bought the Mazda MX-30 for this exact reason. It drives great, I dont need the range in the Netherlands and it charges fast becasue the battery is small. It's so worth it for the gas prices alone 6 euro per week instead of 80. Not to mention the government subsidies.

@@kusayfarhan9943 This is a common misconception. Insurance is purely based on actuarial data which takes none of the car's features into account. Insurance rates are purely based on the car's price, the price to repair the vehicle and the rate at which the vehicle's owners' tend to get into wrecks. The back seats are there because people want them. Much easier to sell a 4 seater than a 2 seater.

Brilliant video! I have the Mini Cooper SE level 2 since 2020. I have driven a lot of cars, expensive, cheap and overpriced. I do not live in the US or in Canada, but over here it was cheaper than the other EVs. It is by far the most fun car I have ever driven. The interior quality is astounding, mine still feels brand new. Range is fine, not great but I live in/near a city and don't need much. It charges in no time and it's cheap to run. It is perfect for me and my needs but I can see it being totally useless for the majority. However, as explained in this video, it is so freaking quick and extremely fun to drive. The way it tackles corners is insane.
