Our MINI EV Range Planning Guide

Your MINI EV range allows you to get where you need to go without worrying about running out of juice. See what the MINI EV range is like with this easy-to-follow strategy.

Understand Your MINI EV’s Range 

As of right now, MINI has one pure EV and one PHEV for sale in Fort Lauderdale. MINI’s lone EV gets plenty of range for weekend getaways and summer vacations.

What is the range of MINI electric cars? The 2024 MINI Electric gives you 114 miles of range on a single charge. You’ll easily reach another big urban area or public charging point in most areas of the United States.

Meanwhile, the 2023 MINI Countryman PHEV gives you 17 miles of all-electric range once you leave your house. You can commute with just electricity if your home is within range of your workplace, but then the vehicle converts to gasoline power after that, giving you 300 miles of total range without having to worry about getting to a public charging station until you get home. 

What is the range of MINI electric cars? You can see that one gets 114 miles between charges while the other gets 300 miles as a hybrid. Either choice gives you outstanding fuel economy.

Diagram Your Route Before Leaving Home

Charging your MINI EV at home provides plenty of power for commutes and short jaunts around Fort Lauderdale. When you’re not near home and want to charge, there are public charging stations all over our area. Public charging is great for charging on the go for your PHEV or full EV. Feel free to find any public charging station with this national map of charging stations from the U.S. Department of Energy. You can also use your vehicle’s GPS or the MINI app to locate the nearest public charging station.

Traffic is an everyday frustration for drivers. As an EV owner, you must plan for road construction, detours, and rush-hour traffic to make sure you get to a charging station before you run out of electricity.

Drive Efficiently Everywhere You Go

Driving habits can decrease your MINI EV range just like it does for gasoline engines. Accelerate and decelerate gradually, and stay at or below the speed limit. Leave plenty of room between you and other vehicles for easier braking.

Weather can also alter your MINI EV range. Consumer Reports states that the ideal outdoor temperature to maximize your MINI EV range is around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Setting your air conditioning or heater on full blast could decrease the EV’s range, too, because it uses more electrical power to run at higher speeds. Use the heat or air minimally while still remaining comfortable as you drive in extreme temperatures. That might mean driving with the windows down when on Fort Lauderdale roads.
