display panel information, that they recovered energy proportional to their expertise with the single pedal. 99% of respondents found home charging easy to use. 71% of respondents said they were more likely now to purchase an electric vehicle than they were a year ago, and only 9% said they are less likely. 88% of respondents said they are interested in buying a battery electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle in the next five years. Oxford Brookes University In August 2011 BMW published the results of the UK trials. The findings are based on the 40 test cars driven by 62 members of the public and 76 pool users, who together drove over two six-month periods. The data was collected electronically and the research was carried out by Oxford Brookes University. The following are some of the main findings: The Mini Es logged a daily journey distance of , slightly more than the recorded by the control cars, a mix of Mini Coopers and BMW 116i models. The UK average daily distance driven for private cars overall is less than . The average cost to charge over 6 months was , representing less than 2 pence per mile. Drivers did not charge their Mini E every night. The average was 2.9 times a week. Most charged at home, with 82% using their wall-mounted charging box 90% of the time. Four out of five people reported that 80% of their trips could be done exclusively in the Mini E, and this increased to 90% saying that with the addition of rear seats and a bigger boot, all their trips could have been done in the Mini E. 84% of the drivers said that the severe low temperatures during both phases of the field trial affected the distance that could be driven between charges, but despite that, four out of five participants told the researchers they thought the Mini E was suitable for winter use. When asked for suggestions to deal with the potential danger from the low noise at low speeds, more than half (56%) said that instead of an artificial noise, the driver should pay more attention. However just over a quarter (28%) said they’d like to have a warning noise below . The trial found that one week was all that was needed for customers to adapt to the characteristics and peculiarities of driving an EV, such as charging,
