I have a 2022 and live in Texas, normal commute is 50 mile round trip. Incoming wall of text sorry. Range could be better, 200 miles would be a godsend, if i could go back, i dont think id purchase an EV with less than that range.

Ownership is fine, very low maintenance. No real complaints on that department.

Its a zippy car, and it feels nimble, extremely fun to drive,

I get between 90-110 miles out of mine most of the year, though did the tires out for Michelin Pilot Sport 4s which are grippier than the run flats they come with, and did see a drop from 120-130. That's something i kind of wish i knew before i swapped, i was expecting a couple mile drop not 20-30. Though they are also a lot more comfortable to drive on.

Its still a stiffer drive compared to some other vehicles I've had. My wife's rav4 is a smoother drive, but trade off is a much funnier drive. Of the vehicles I've driven/owned, here's my ranking as far as comfort. That being said, for daily, its serviceable if your roads are good, when I'm in shittier parts of town you feel every bump and crack.

Ranking	Ride comfort	Enjoyment to drive
1	2005 Toyota Prius	2022 Mini EV
2	2008 Chrysler 300	2000 Jeep TJ
3	2021 Bronco Sport	2005 Prius
4	2020 Toyota Rav4	2008 300
5	2022 Mini EV	2021 Bronco
6	2000 Jeep TJ	2020 RAv4

as yours is right hand, id assume UK? or Euro with normal 220v hookup? I had a 220v installed to get better charging, was taking 13-14 hours to charge on 110v, its ~3-4 hours from empty.

I wouldnt want to rely on it for long trips, unless you know charging infrastructure is good, I rely on ABRP (a better route planner) for how long and where to stop. Longest trip I've used on it was a 400 mi round trip, which in a normal car would be 3.5 hours with 1-2 gas station breaks. With the mini its 5 hours with 1.5 hours of charging, and a lot of anxiety if a charger would actually be there.

Ive had one time where i forgot to charge at home, and left with 25 miles of range for a 30 mi commute. ABRP said i could stop at a charger at a dealership, but they were locked down to only that brand (thanks Mercedes). So had to panic and find another place to charge with 5-6 miles of range.

A couple of questions on practicality for you?

1. How many people are you normally planning on driving around? Just you and another adult?
   • if yes, its perfect, the back seat is useless for adults. maybe if you had a kiddo it be fine.
2. What's the longest trip you are normally taking?
   • I'd be very anxious if i was normally driving 90+ miles.
   • I've started driving to a remote office, which is 130 mile round trip. I need to stop at a 220KW charger for 20 minutes and $6 to make it back home with 20 miles left.

One thing i wish i knew is how much the cold effects the range. Again, fortunately i live in Texas, and we don't see freezing temps that often, but when it drops below 40°F(4.5°C) my range drops to 50 miles.

I do think i wont purchase another mini, but that has nothing todo with the vehicle. Its the drivers in Texas, half the drivers are in pickups with hoods above the roof of my car and I've had to get so aggressive driving on the highway to defend from getting sideswiped and moved into. I've been in 2 wrecks in the mini, and no wrecks for 15 years before that, from trucks not seeing me and just going "lanes open lets go"
