New Mini Cooper Electric - is it better than then Tesla Model 3?
 
https://www.businessinsider.com/mini...verdict-2020-4

I am curious if this new Mini Electric vehicle is better to get for my driving in the city versus the Tesla Model 3. Considering I work 29 miles away from home, this could work... even in heavy traffic.

Assuming you can't charge for free at work, 58 miles on a 110 mile range is a large portion of the range 250 times per year (50 weeks/yr 5 days per week).

58 miles on a model 3 range is a much smaller percentage of the total range (assuming 220 mi).

The larger the cycle depth of a battery, the shorter its life. The mini would see a notably faster reduction in total range over time.

In that regard, it's significantly worse than a Model 3.
