FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mini Range only for MINI Cooper SE?

• Yes. Mini Range is designed specifically for the MINI Cooper SE (F56) and focuses on providing practical range and charging estimates for that vehicle.

How accurate are the estimates?

• The estimates are approximate and depend on many factors, including temperature, driving speed, road conditions, wind, and driving style. Mini Range does not currently model factors such as elevation, traffic conditions, or battery temperature.

Why does motorway driving reduce range so much?

• At higher speeds, aerodynamic drag increases energy consumption significantly. This effect becomes more noticeable the faster you drive and can have a substantial impact on driving range.

What does personal calibration do?

• If you log trips in the app, Mini Range can use your recorded consumption data to improve future range estimates and better reflect your vehicle and driving conditions.

Does Mini Range work on Apple Watch?

• Yes. Mini Range includes an Apple Watch app that lets you view range estimates directly from your watch. Settings can be synced from your iPhone.

Does the app replace navigation apps?

• No. Mini Range is designed as a simple range and charging companion, not a full navigation or route-planning system.

Does the app collect driving data?

• No. All trip data and settings remain stored locally on your device.

Does the app require an account?

• No. Mini Range works without accounts, cloud services, or user registration.

Does Mini Range require a subscription?
