I’m curious how you determine your range. Do you actually drive it 100 miles, or do something like drive it until the instrumentation shows that 25% of the charge has been used and multiply the number of miles traveled by four?
How accurate is the mini’s instrumentation? The instrumentation on my 1998 Honda EVPlus was very accurate. The 2011 Leaf, not so much. When I finally got the LeafSpy app, I learned that it still had about 15% usable charge when the cars instrumentation quit displaying information. My 2017 Bolt seems to be quite accurate. It has a feature they call trend bars that extend above or below the number displayed by the guess-o-meter. These indicate how much better, or worse, the remaining range will be under the current driving conditions. I have found this to be a very useful indicator when needing to use the full charge.

That's plenty for the seattle metro area. _______________________________________________ Address messages to ev@lists.evdl.org No other addresses in TO and CC fields HELP: http://www.evdl.org/help/
