Seat Mii Electric

KCross

UK price announced - £19300

Rough translation to Irish pricing....
£19300+£3500(UK Grant)=£22800 inc vat -->£19000 ex vat-->€22000 ex vat
-->€27000 inc vat --> €22000 inc Irish grant

Probably more like €24k in Ireland with Paddy pricing and del charges but should be in that ball park anyway.



7.2kW AC charging
40kW CCS charging(0-80%) in <1hr
Battery voltage is 307V which explains the slow charging.
36.8kWh battery
WLTP 250km combined (350km city)
61kW motor (212Nm) - Thats a bit meh, but it is a small city car so probably ok.
0-31 mph in 4s
0-62 mph in 12s
8yr/160k km battery warranty to 70%
Weight: 1235kg

Seems to be only one spec in the UK which has all the bells and whistles (lane assist, parking sensors, heated seats etc)

Wouldn't be too sure about that Paddy price. Other Seat cars direct conversions from their UK prices turn out identical to the actual Irish price.

D'ya know, you're right. I just assumed Seat were the same as all the rest.

Seat Ibiza SE in UK is £15600. €17910 in Ireland so much the same really.

Anything in the low 20s will be welcome!

Lets see what Seat Ireland do!

Jaysus that's slow and slow charging in this day and age. No good for City folk with no hope of home charging if this is supposed to be a real city car then the manufacturers need to wake up and realise 40 Kw charging or 50 Kw or anything under 100 Kw is not good enough any more.

At least give it 22 Kw AC charging so it can make use of the AC infrastructure.

I reckon the future of city car charging is probably 50kW DC chargers installed at supermarkets. You'd happily charge whilst doing a weekly shop. Based on the triplets having a 100% larger battery than my current e-Up they should be good for around 220km of range even in winter. That's probably a good 4/5 days of buzzing around the city.

I have no idea what the future holds, I can't see huge banks of 50 Kw DC chargers at supermarkets, you'll probably fine more AC, we certainly need more charging options in the future to cater especially for those with no home charging.

More powerful AC chargers in cars, more AC/DC chargers, AC is easier install and not as demanding on power.

I can't think of a better site for 50kW. Where else does a person regularly spend 30 mins to 1 hour a week. Site owners also have an incentive to install them.

Tesco have a deal with VW, Morrisons with Geniepoint. Lidl with PodPoint. Of course we are in Ireland and as per posters here anything that works in other European countries is bound to failure because we are such a special bunch.

German Customers who ordered recently are getting delivery dates for June 2020 for the Triplets. Apart from the new batteries there is nothing in these cars which is hard to come by for a car which has been in production since 2012. They've stopped selling most of the petrols engined ones so it isn't as though the production line is busy.

Too bad it's not coming here

None of the VW group triplets are coming here

Only coming to 14 EU countries

Autogefühl English Lanagage Youtube review
Looks very nice in Silver.
biggest drawback of this car are 7.2kw onboard charger and 40kw fast charger costs about 600 euro extra.

0-80% fast charge 1 hr ? wtf ? ridiculous and probably 1 hr 20 mins when the battery is cold.
