    I switched to the Octopus 12M fixed tariff

    New Mini EV owner

    I use a cheap electricity plan and always keep my car plugged in. I use an app to find chargers and I have accounts with different charging companies. Don't trust the car's range estimate.

    Intelligent Octopus Issues

    My car sometimes won't charge. I have to change the charge level to get it to work. It's annoying, but it works.

    Battery Tech in the Mini Cooper SE

    From what I know, the Mini SE uses a smaller battery than the i3. The bigger i3 battery wouldn't fit in the Mini.

    First service experience: costs, surprises, and insights

    Before, I thought service plans were always the same price. I didn't know they could change. The main benefit is that you can pay for the service plan over time.

    Battery issues on Mini Cooper EV??!

    The GOM is not accurate. It's better to use the battery percentage. The GOM's estimate can change based on how you're driving and the weather.

    San Diego to Phoenix Round Trip in a Mini SE

    The SE is a fantastic little car. Don't worry about the range too much. It just means you'll have more time driving it!

    Can’t See Car Status in Mini App After Recall

    AFAIK, the website seems to be working now. Try deleting and reinstalling the app to see if that helps.

    Little Quirks with my New Mini SE

    You can change the angle of your mirror with BimmerCode. The center screen is hard to customize. You can make your car beep when you lock it if you have an alarm.
