Why would you want to pre start an electrical car ? Warm it up.... lol

 

What's with the bonnet scoop? Is that where you plug it in?

 

That's the vacuum cleaner attachment.

 

The hood scoop on a MINI has been just a decoration since the 2nd gen started.

 

Sounds like that fast charger is the equivalent of an emergency 5 gallons of gas. I think part of owning an electric is figuring out the what the infrastructure is & how to best use it.

Thanks for your insights on your car ownership. I find it interesting.

 

Man I hate street parking, I feel for you. Back when I was a yute someone hit my freshly fixed up & painted VW beetle so hard they knocked it onto the sidewalk.

Back on topic, electrical cars......

I once owned a 1960 Mercury Comet electric. That's right I'd put dad's battery charger on it every night so I could head to work in the morning. I'd get about 30 miles before it would die on the side of the road. The gas mileage was better than the battery mileage. Once I installed a nice rebuild generator it worked like a normal car.

 

Sharp

 

Really makes a nice difference.

 

Certainly looks different without the yellow......does it work well as a snow car? Whatever we replace the Wife's Audi Allroad with she will require it to have all wheel drive - and we don't usually get the same amount of snow your guys do in Bend

 

Time to start building your wife a Twini. I know you can do it.

Pretty sure the electrical MINI only comes in a FWD version. I'd wonder how those low rolling resistance tires would work in cold weather. Maybe a plug in hybrid would work. Does the Countryguyman come that way?
