Level 3 Electric Mini

[theFrazier]

We just picked up my sweet new Level 3 Electric Mini and gotta say, we're loving the electric so far! I know range anxiety is a thing, but I went in knowing it might not crack 100 miles.

Now my question is, should I trust the GOM (showing 90 miles full charge) or that miles/kWh reading? Anybody else out there with a Mini electric and some real-world experience?

I'd say dpn't stress about the GOM range, it can be a bit conservative. A better indicator is your car's miles per kWh efficiency. The GOM might even increase as you drive, which can be confusing. Stick with the percentage readout for a more accurate idea of your remaining range.

In warm weather, I estimate that I get about 2 miles for every 1% of the battery, and about 1.5 in cold. It still depends on how you drive...
