The All-Electric SEAT Mii Hatchback
The SEAT Mii electric is the first all-electric car from the Spanish automotive company. The pure electric car is targeted at the urban consumer, seeking affordable and clean zero-emission electric driving. The electric vehicle (EV) is suitable for individuals and small families seeking an affordable electric car.
The pure electric Mii has a 36.8 kWh onboard EV battery. It is true, in that, the more recent introduction of electric cars have a larger EV battery, but given the positioning of the Mii Electric, primarily as a city car, the 36.8 kWh battery size is appropriate.
The manufacturer claims a zero-emission electric range up to 160 miles (WLTP). Even adjusting for real-world driving conditions, the EV should be able to deliver an electric range over 135 miles. A useful and practical EV range for most day-to-day needs and for shorter distance motorway driving.
For those new to electric driving, a number of factors impact the claimed range. These include: driving profile, weather conditions, road surface, wheel size, onboard services used, passenger load and more. The electric car also incorporates regenerative braking to increase the efficiency and electric range.
The SEAT EV offers DC charging up to 40 kW, which is more than sufficient given the size of the onboard EV battery. At 40 kW DC, the EV can be charged up to 80% in 60 minutes. Just enough time for a meal and motorway break. The SEAT Mii Electric incorporates a 7.2 kW AC (1-phase) onboard charger. This again is appropriate, given that most homes in the UK are powered by single-phase power supply. The EV battery can be fully charged in 4 hours.
We at e-zoomed recommend charging overnight when the electricity tariff prices are cheaper and we also encourage the use of a dedicated home EV charging station like zappi, which is compatible with solar energy. We discourage the use of a domestic 3-PIN plug for charging an electric car.
In terms of performance, the front-wheel drive Mii electric hatchback delivers 0-62 mph in 12.3 seconds, with a 81 mph top speed (maximum power: 83 hp/ torque: 212 Nm). The electric car also benefits from instant torque.
The Mii electric car features the SEAT CONNECT, allowing the remote access and management of the vehicle to include, driving data, parking position, vehicle status (incl. doors and lights), e-Manager and remote climatisation. The Mii BEV also features climatronic, traffic signal reminder, lane assist, bluetooth, USB and smartphone integration and SEAT DriveMii App.
In terms of practicality, despite the compact dimensions of the city car, it is comfortable for rear-seat passengers. However the boot size on offer is small (251 L).
The SEAT Mill does offer value for money as a used electric car. We at e-zoomed can help you find your perfect used EV. Simply email us at shop@ezoomed.com. Bottom-line, electric driving is good for the environment and the wallet.
