AutoExec Summary

The article details a second test of the 2021 Mini Cooper SE to verify its claimed 230km range in a more realistic setting. The journey, starting from Melbourne along the Hume Freeway, aimed to use 50% of the battery before returning. Despite various challenges, including uphill driving and limited charging infrastructure, the Mini reached 200km with just 2% battery remaining. The test concludes that while the Mini Cooper SE can achieve its range claim in ideal conditions, urban settings are more suitable for compact EVs. Future tests will explore hypermiling for better efficiency.
