      I think that's what people have been saying. It would be nice to have it as a second car but I ain't got that kind of chance. Even buying my first car has been difficult for many reasons. The insurance is ridiculous where a lot of people do insurance scams thus the price for insurance costs more than the actual car, it might be cheaper now, however I need to check. I wish the range would have been comparable to non electrical cars. Maybe one day.

You don’t need to charge that quickly anyway - Just charge overnight and use superchargers during road trips. Simples. Hydrogen will be handy for shipping and aeroplanes, but utterly pointless for road vehicles - For man, many reasons.

      I can't complain much. BMW knows their biggest market for this car is China and in Europe. In Europe it's a good city car and many families already have an ICE car for long range driving. Here in China the average person commutes about 80-100 km per day (up to 60miles) and people travel long distances on trains and planes. Plus China is pushing big incentives on EV's. So it's a win for them.

    Who would opt for all of that greeny yellow mess? If Mini spent less on naff marketing, they could have got a 200+ mile range out of this grey blob. As it stands, this is less appealing in every way than a Renault Zoe apart from the badge and some nonsense about a bygone era for some people.

      It’s not bad. I had the original i3 for a while, and when the 80 miles weren’t enough 200 wouldn’t have been either. 145 is more than enough for anything I’d want to do in the car. Mini’s and i3’s aren’t for road trips.

      I regularly travelled 476km in NZ many years ago. During that drive I would regularly stop for rest breaks and toilet stops, therefore taking approx 6 hours to do so. This ensured I drove safely, fully awake and totally without stress. I'm struggling to think of any reason why someone would want to drive 800km, take only a 5 minute break, then continue on. Sorry, but your logic makes no sense. (Feel free to enlighten me, always happy to see a different valid point of view). However, for almost everyone, a range of 400km is more than sufficient for almost any occasion. Charging time allows you to recuperate and 'refuel' yourself. And before you ask, I'm definitely a long time petrol head, but I realise it is time to change away from the ICE for the sake of everyones' future.

      Esa Edvik everybody seems to be missing my point. Electric vehicles are not as convenient as cars with an ICE. I’m sure it doesn’t take you hours to fill up your car. The range on that is crap. I would never buy any BMW or Mini for that matter!

    • @eamonnmcdermott1939
      @eamonnmcdermott1939 4 года назад +2

      Anthony Petty I think you are missing my point. I have never driven 800km on any journey and I’m driving 15 years. If I was to I would do as you do, taking rests and stopping for food. The point I’m making is that it only takes me 5 minutes to refuel my diesel car from empty and it will take me approx 800 km easily. An electric car will never reach this level of range in this time at any point in the near future. I live on a street where I cannot recharge an electric car. I simply cannot hang a plug out my window. There are no electric vehicle charging points nearby, my nearest if six kilometres away. I don’t have to time to drive to one and wait for it to charge. There are no electric charging points where I work. I believe hydrogen will be a better alternative in the future as it can suit everyone’s needs just like current fossil fuels do. Regardless of what anybody says electric cars simply will not work for everybody. I agree we will need to change our power source from fossil fuel (it will run out some day)to an alternative but I think hydrogen if far more practical than any electric car will ever be. Whatever the future holds I’m sure it will be exciting. Safe motoring!
