Anticipatory driving
Driving smoothly and proactively reduces
energy consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and brak-
ing.
Maintain a suitable distance to the vehicle
driving ahead of you.
Longer braking procedures result in more
efficient charging of the high-voltage bat-
tery via energy recovery from braking.
Using accelerator pedal for
deceleration and coasting
When approaching a red traffic light, use
accelerator pedal for decelerating.
For going downhill use coasting function;
for this purpose, press accelerator pedal just
enough that the vehicle rolls.
Switching off any functions
that are not currently needed
Functions such as seat heating and the rear
window defroster require a lot of energy
and reduce the range, especially in city traf-
fic and with stop-and-go driving.
Switch off these functions if they are not
needed.
The GREEN and GREEN+ driving modes
support the energy-conserving use of com-
fort features. They automatically perform
a partial or complete deactivation of these
functions.

Increasing range
Having maintenance carried
out
Have the vehicle maintained regularly to
achieve optimal vehicle efficiency and serv-
ice life. MINI recommends that mainte-
nance work be performed by an authorized
service center.

Using eDRIVE efficiently
Principle
eDRIVE operates automatically. Proactive
driving utilizes energy consumption and en-
ergy recovery optimally. Energy recovery is
used to charge the high-voltage battery. En-
ergy recovery is important for the supply
of electrical components and thus a prereq-
uisite for a long range. Energy consumption
and energy recovery depend very much on
your driving style, among other factors.
Optimizing driving style
Power gauge
Your driving style can be optimized using
the power gauge.
