MINI E
According to a report over at AllCarsElectric.com, Dennis is seeing the range of the MIN I E from the 75 to 80 mile range he saw in the summer to barley 60 miles. This could be a real problem for the future of the MINI E and other electric cars, especially for people who have commutes. As luck would have it, Dennis does have a commute that consists of approximately 60 miles. Now that the cold and relentless weather has settled in New York for the season, Dennis is seeing the battery meter hit 0% during the last several miles of his commute.
Bottom line—if cold weather effects electric vehicles in this manner, then it is going to hurt the perceived viability of the cars in the near future. I mean, Dennis is paying $850 a month for the privilege to have “range anxiety” set in after a day at the office.
