What can I do to improve the range of my MINI electric vehicle in cold winter temperatures?

Pay particular attention to the following points in winter to increase the range of your MINI electric vehicle:
​

  • Use preconditioning while your MINI electric vehicle is connected for charging.
  • Opt for stationary periods in a garage to reduce battery cooling.
  • Deactivate functions that are not required, such as rear window heating.

In addition, the Efficient Mode of your MINI electric vehicle helps to reduce consumption by setting vehicle functions to be particularly energy-efficient. For example, the power output of the drive is adjusted and climate control is intelligently reduced.
