Nice smooth ride, range is a bit poor but shouldn’t be too bad going back and forth work as I’ll only be doing up to 4 miles a day for work and then the supermarkets are right by my work too.
Hi all,
Seeing MCR in July, looking for some advice on parking for Wembley Stadium. We’re staying at the Premier Inn London Hyde Park and aren’t sure of the best option.
Would you recommend leaving the car at the hotel and using public transport to get to Wembley, or is it better to drive and park at or near the stadium? What time does public transport stop?
Any recommendations for parking, travel times, or things to be aware of on event days would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi all,
I’m picking up a 2021 MINI Electric Hatchback 135kW Cooper S Level 2 (33kWh) on Tuesday morning and I’m looking forward to joining the MINI Electric club!
This will be my first EV, so I’d appreciate any general advice, ownership tips, things to watch out for, or features that aren’t immediately obvious. I’m particularly interested in:
Real-world range and what to expect in different weather
Charging habits (best practices for battery health)
Any common issues or known quirks with the 2021 model
Must-have accessories or useful apps
Things you wish you’d known when you first got yours
The car seems ideal for my daily driving, but I’d love to hear from long-term owners about what they like most and what they don’t.
Thanks in advance for any tips or recommendations.
Looking forward to collecting it on Tuesday!
Hi all,
I’m seriously considering buying this electric MINI (pictured) and would love to hear from people who actually own one. It’s a 2021 MINI ELECTRIC HATCHBACK 135kW Cooper S Level 2 33kWh
A few questions:
How has your ownership experience been overall?
What do you love most about it?
What are the biggest drawbacks or annoyances?
How is the real-world range compared to the official figures? (142 miles)
How does it perform on longer motorway journeys?
Any issues with charging, battery degradation, or reliability?
Is the ride comfort okay for daily driving?
How practical is it as an only car?
If you were buying again today, would you choose the electric MINI or something else?
I’m particularly interested in hearing about:
Running costs
Build quality
Fun factor compared with petrol MINIs
Anything you wish you’d known before buying would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for any insights!
