Loving my new Mini Electric overall, but the range is seriously disappointing. Just did a 152 - mile trip that required 3 charging stops, turning a usual 3-4 hour drive into 11-12 hours. I'm only getting around 50-60 miles per charge, which seems way off. Is this normal, or could I have a bad battery?

For reference, I drive conservatively, rarely use climate control to save juice, and it's not much better in the city either. Is this normal or should I get the battery checked?
 
Curious how long you've had your Mini. Even in winter, I can usually squeeze out at least a mile per 1% battery around town, and more on highway runs.

Have you checked your tire pressure lately? That can definitely affect range.

Also, to get a better idea of what might be affecting your range, could you tell me what your battery % was before each of the 3 charging stops?
