The trial data results show that everyday use of the electric MINIs does not particularly differ from the typical driving patterns from conventionally powered cars from the control group. The distance covered on a daily journey was slightly higher with the MINI E drivers at 29.7 miles compared to 26.5 miles by the control cars, which consisted of MINI Coopers and BMW 116i models. Four out of five people reported that the MINI E could be used for 80 per cent of their trips. 90 per cent of users said that with the addition of rear seats and a bigger boot, all trips could be done with the MINI E. 96 per cent of users said that as a result of the test, they would consider buying an electric car and 51 per cent were willing to pay a third more for one.
