Regen is so natural

It had been a few months since I drove a MINI E and I thought I might have some issues with the regen but I didn't. It really was like riding a bicycle, it all came back to me and I was hitting...*cough*..comfortable speeds in no time with stylish stops.

When charging I've been using the 'top off'' technique and happy to see it still works (after charging to full wait a bit then begin to charge again). Something I confirmed with BMW way back and thrilled to see it got some play.

Range has been great and I am driving the car hard. If I'm careful I'll get close to 120 but when I get aggressive I drop to 100, 100 is still great.

In a few days I'll be back in my diesel SUV, which gets up to 28mpg, diesel is great for SUVs....but electric really is perfect for the commuter car. Drive one and you will be hooked, you will find a way to make it fit into your daily routine.
