The Mini Electric is temptingly priced is that it doesn\u2019t have a very big battery, and the official range between charges is only around 145 miles. You won’t even get that far in real-world driving but you have to pay a higher price than buying a petrol car.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t use Facebook much, but am always astonished to see how many adverts for EVs appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are companies so desperate to sell them, or is this the Nudge Unit at work again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, it\u2019s a good opportunity to check out prices again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cheapest Mini EV comes in at \u00a332,550:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The specs of the two cars are similar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The range of the EV is given as 140 miles, which means less than 100 in reality, making it utterly useless for anything other than round town.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No wonder Mini are so desperate to advertise them on Facebook!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
