This video presents a comprehensive real-world range test and comparison of three popular compact EVs: the Honda e, Mini Electric, and BMW i3 (120Ah). The convoy test, conducted under consistent conditions, revealed the Mini Electric as the most efficient, achieving a total range of 148 miles. The Honda e followed with 117 miles, and the BMW i3 with 185 miles, benefiting from its larger battery. The reviewer highlights the Honda e's exceptional maneuverability and refined ride, despite its higher price point and limited range, praising its high specification and quirky design. The Mini Electric is lauded for its sharp handling, efficiency, and premium feel with delightful details. The BMW i3 is commended for its ease of access, surprising practicality akin to a small van, and enduring design, particularly its carbon fiber chassis, though it can be susceptible to crosswinds on the motorway. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that all three are fantastic, cool cars with their own unique strengths, making the choice a matter of personal preference ('horses for courses').
