The secret to avoiding range anxiety while driving the Mini E may have less to do with how or where you drive, but in deciding which car to take in the first place.
BMW and the University of California, Davis, released a study of 120 families who leased the Mini E in California, New York, and New Jersey from June 2009 to June 2010. A majority of drivers reported that the Mini E met their daily driving needs, but they also said a second gas-powered car was key to avoiding the EV's shortcomings.
When asked to agree or disagree with the statement, "To overcome any limitations of my Mini E, I used my second car," 94 percent of drivers agreed, strongly agreed, or very strongly agreed. That means a 100-mile battery range of a two-seater EV is fine as long as you have a second car as backup
info from cnet, I thought all you drivers out there would like to know about this.
