How can I increase the range of my MINI electric vehicle?

The vehicle contains comprehensive eDRIVE technologies to reduce energy consumption and maximise range. Anticipatory driving makes optimum use of the drive characteristics, i.e., energy consumption and energy recovery are optimised. The high-voltage battery is charged with the energy gained. Energy recovery is important for supplying the electrical components and thus a prerequisite for a long range. Energy recovery and energy consumption depend, among other things, on the driving style.

With the following additional measures, you can increase the range of your MINI electric vehicle and thus also reduce the environmental impact:
  • Remove unnecessary load
  • Remove add-on parts after use
  • Close windows and glass sunroof
  • Check tyre inflation pressure regularly
  • Pre-air-condition the vehicle before the start of the journey when charging
  • Drive with anticipation
  • Use the accelerator pedal to decelerate and coast
  • Switch off functions that are not needed at the moment
  • Maintain vehicle regularly
  • Avoid high-voltage battery discharge
