When you’re considering a MINI electric vehicle for your drives around Markham, ON, you may have a few questions. MINI Markham answers questions about electric vehicles often, and we’ve compiled the most common ones that we receive on this page. Read on and learn more about MINI electric vehicles.
Each MINI electric vehicle (EV) comes with a charging port. Plug in a charger to this port in order to charge your EV. You can charge your car at home or in public. At your home, you can charge your EV through a Level 1 charging station or Level 2 charging station. Level 1 charging stations use a standard outlet in your home to charge your EV. Level 2 charging stations can be installed in your garage or at your parking space to charge your vehicle more quickly. Level 1 charging stations likely take several hours to charge your MINI EV fully.
MINI Canada has a map of electric charging stations available across the country. You can consult this map while online or via your smartphone. Many charging station companies also have their own apps, so you can find charging stations while you’re on the go. Once you find a charging station, you’ll likely have the choice between a Level 2 charging station and a Level 3 charging station. Level 3 charging stations are faster-charging options, which can charge your EV most of the way in about 35 minutes.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles are similar, but with a key difference: Plug-in hybrid vehicles also have a gas combustion engine. With a plug-in hybrid car, you can charge your vehicle to drive on purely electric power for a while and also fuel it up with gas when your vehicle runs out of charge. Electric vehicles only have an electric motor. You charge it via electricity only rather than fueling your car at a gas station.
On average, MINI electric vehicles do require less maintenance than traditional gas-powered vehicles. This is due to the makeup of the engine. A MINI electric vehicle is powered by motors and a battery, which don’t require oil changes and other services associated with a combustion engine. EVs also contain fewer moving parts. Fewer moving parts mean that less can wear down over time or need repairs.
