Pre-conditioning helps, but it’s not a magic fix for range anxiety. It mostly improves efficiency in colder weather by keeping the battery at its ideal temp. If you’re already driving in mild conditions, you probably won’t see a huge jump in range. But if it’s freezing? Definitely worth using.

Charging at 7.4 kW is perfectly safe and won’t degrade your battery noticeably faster than low-speed charging. Mini wouldn’t design a home charger at that speed if it wasn’t meant to be used regularly. The real thing to watch out for is frequent DC fast charging, but for home charging, you’re...
