Mini Cooper SE Hardtop

Why #87

• Fun city car; US sales nearly vanished.
• Strongest on efficiency (86) and value (66); weakest on range (0).
• Sits below #86 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 350 4MATIC mainly on range (30 vs 0).
• Beats #88 Fiat 500e Base on charging (16 vs 13).
• Sales floor applied: US sales not reported (under 2,000 in Jan–Sep 2026) costs 5 overall points.

Heads-up: Limited US availability; China-built EV hit by tariffs.

Arizona ownership (energy only)

Arizona 5-year energy cost assumes 12,000 mi/yr, mostly home charging on APS R-EV overnight (11pm–5am weekdays) at $0.0847/kWh (APS R-EV tariff), ~10% charging losses, and compares energy only to a 28 MPG gas car at $3.50/gal. Insurance, maintenance, purchase price and resale are excluded. Arizona summer range = EPA range × 82.5% (Recurrent Auto ~17–18% loss at 100°F; AAA found 8.5% at 95°F).
