30. 07. 2009 Monday 12 July The breath of adventure or: pioneers to help you. Who leads electrically surrounds the touch of adventure.
And now and then I get an idea how the pioneers of the automobile like it old- time must have felt as if - far from civilization - to rally around the world set off. Though you can not remove with an electric car too far from civilization, a socket should already be in a more close by. But willingness to erfhrt anyway. For example, in Augsburg, where I was invited to a lecture.
The top Baubehrde had invited into the house Sankt Ulrich, the ultra- modern Conference Hotel of the indices of Augsburg. Munich - Augsburg and back, the knnte are scarce. To go sure, I do not Beibe are about to return home with an empty battery at the intersection Mnchen West, I called the house of St. Ulrich.
I asked whether there probably give an outlet where I think the Mini WHILE knnte Lecture Fri fit to make the journey home. No problem, here it is. I was a reserved underground parking space next to a bright red electric power outlet, but the caretaker was at the service. Electricity costs? No question.
Thank you very much for the excellent service at this location. Friendliness and service, this impression I have gained otherwise miter, Sankt Ulrich in the house as standard. And to provide for electricity for just 1. 50 euros a bill schtzungsweise Gravity Grave, may well be worth little. Nevertheless, what the friendly lady at the reception hut have said when I asked her hut for a few liters of gasoline fr ride home?
The current donation by the indices I used Hut not incidentally. Already hinwrts I had time left, and when I took on the way home the wind shadow of an articulated truck, swung himself on to the mini- range records. But of course the view of the charge level display was very reassuring.
Balm for the soul, so to speak. And since they know each finally out in the Catholic Church. Friday 5 Mar 2010 In the second attempt worked! to bring the outstanding options to problems with a car that is to change cars. BMW has done that, and with the second Mini E I had, although there were a few zapfig cold days, no more problems. Apparently the KLTE- phobia of the first car was thus a typical prototype Phnom. to identify and eliminate such thing is, after all the purpose of such small and test series.
The handling on slippery surfaces, Brig is surprisingly good.
Despite the immense torque turn the Antriebsrder ( the Mini has front wheel drive) is not even on the snow through. The anti- skid control intervenes so fine that I sometimes know only at the display in the speedometer instrument. Monday 14 December The Mini Es do not like cold! One of the Mini E has in common with my wife: Its not like cold. Probably it is because he has me on the journey from the workshop to the office again leave.
On Friday I called the Mini- Center: The car was ready. But there was just in the newsroom the hell going on - no chance to get to 18 to Riesenfeldstrae clock to pick up the kids. So I went there this morning after the car bers weekend under cover in the open stand. 0 degree battery temperature reported to the board computer, Outside, it was shady - 2.
5 degrees. Nevertheless, the Mini has started very good, and inside it was thanks to the electric heater after a few moments of pleasantly warm. I turned on the Middle ring to the west, and treated on the gas, as it wre fragile. In vain: Just before the first error messages appeared Donnersbergerbrcke on the display, and the middle of the bridge it was so much as a week ago: Red battery icon, no longer drive. I could just let the car roll to the right lane, where a construction site before it shut was hardly in the way.
9 km. As a driving route between two Werklstatt- stays, this is not intoxicating. But I know: It is a test, and now comes the hard Phe. Anyway: towing contractor Gnther Stubler was after ten minutes there and salutes me as an old friend. To be honest: the man is competent and friendly.
But I still hope that I did not soon see again. Wednesday 2 December Locked out! After lngerer break I just sign up with an emergency back back to results: Ive locked myself out! Not out of the Mini, but from the E.
On Ladesule, and this is also Approximate the same thing.
The reason: my own stupidity.
This morning appointment, I was with two Mercury readers: Philip had Bergeaud, who tested the Mini now for four months and hand it with a sad look again had, and Wilhelm Church Steiner, the test drivers time in the second season an hour earlier start. An exchange of experiences, it should be, and a photograph with the editorial from the mini Ladesule the Bayer forum. I know mssen hut yes, but I just do not respond when Mr. Steiner church with his card the Sule has opened. Together we joined the editorial Mini, made the cover of the Sule back and watch the flashing Lmpchen, indicating that charging has started properly.
In the editorial, we have talked quite excited ( demnchst report in the Mercury) . After an hour and subjected Kirchensteiner Bergeaud again depart. And I noticed that I was using my card the Ladesule open no more, to pull the plug. Verstndlicherweise may only be the one who eingestpselt his car to the store, abstpseln it again.
Otherwise wren bse scenes on public Ladesulen programmed: If you come to a busy Sule finds himself next to it, pulls the plug on the opponent and that invites its own car . . . Well, thats not possible. Bad is that Im stuck now. But at some point Mr.
Church is determined Steiner returned to his cell phone . . . Eureka, its even faster: A call to E. On brought the solution. To send over someone who opens the Sule with a kind Generalschlssel. Thats what I call service.
Thank you also, Im off the road again. - Sc Sunday 20 September Mini on the road from the holiday back to results and more than two turbulent weeks in the real ( Editorial) pitched life, I have to make do without a weekend mini. The lords of E. On have asked so nice drum that I could not just say no .
He buzzes around egg con Stromer now few days in Essen, which take the E.
On management staff in the headquarters. The of course, all is focused on the Mini, but E.
On verrfgbar only one - and that is particularly needed at the IAA in Frankfurt. Thus, the E. On boss knnen once enjoy the electric Fahrgefhl to experience the four- Mercury readers at the time each day to the editors reluctantly Fri separated laughed long weekend of car .
After all, E.
On has promised us the fast current fully loaded and cleaned again zurckzubringen. I think the latter is not a luxury .
Since it helps at all! - Sc Friday 21 August Urlaubsgruesse to the mini Finally, an internet cafe! Now I can get rid of their holiday mood, which to me is burning on the soul ( although I must do without umlauts, which are not making the Danish keyboard) . Here in the Danish North Sea coast would be the ideal application for the electric Mini - not necessarily because of his sprint qualities, because the Kingdom is a strict speed limit: 80 On rural roads, 130 on the highway. And experience shows it works.
Almost all stick to it.
No: The Mini- Land is our northern neighbor by the wind.
Blows 300 days a year, I told our landlord Erling. The remaining 65 days storm. This wind have already taken advantage of the Danes, as was known windmills in Germany only as a toy.
No greater farm that did not have its own power plant. Often there are even two or three windmills, and frequently is a still like this: The Danes do not know more often what to do with the many Green electricity! Before you start to drive with the superfluous military power windmills as ventilators to the wind continue to bring into the country, the E- mini would be ideal: The great battery could the excess power onto augenn smooth and leave an old car drivers dream come true: Fuel for free!
And if you look over below the mini- range ( at a speed of 80 is probably close to 200 kilometers, there is one loose once across Denmark) , is found everywhere Windmueller a friendly, inviting you to refuel - of course free, of course.
As far as my holiday dreams. I hope I have the gentlemen at home, made a little jealous. Although: you fill up for free, too, on the E. Pillar Central Station.
And that works even in complete calm - .
Sc - Friday 14 August A great.
And one more. This time of the handing over of the car. Minister President Horst Seehofer was also there. Thursday 13 August Mini- break unit goodbye Now Im going on vacation with family and to Denmark.
Apart from the fact that luggage and found two children in the river is no place to ride wre to mhsam, because of the tank rests.
Fri seven to eight times at least three hours in the machine, which I also find first of all msste because wre already almost over the half- holiday . berg just have a heavy heart I Schlssel to Mrs W - and me a good girl contain any comment. Well, good Ratschlge category " Drive carefully, and always remember: The brake pedal is the middle" or " fill in any case diesel - ha, ha, ha, " my colleagues have contributed around. w it took surprisingly left. Probably the anticipation prevails. I will entrust Fri nchsten two weeks, the family car: a VW Sharan, economy pack your bags makes UNNECESSARY.
Practical, but not necessarily loud and lively. Liked it gebich not, but am a little jealous I have been on the colleague- sc- w Monday 10 August Power tap- on Sule meantime, we got the radio station that we opened the way for E. ON gas station at Bayer forum, next to the Paul- Heyse- Unterfhrung.
A push of a button, and the massive Bollard sinks into the ground and hits the road. 32 amps charging current provides the red Zapfsule. As the battery after a maximum of three and a half hours is full again.
Mk colleague who drove the mini on the weekend, it has now angestpselt morning. 13.
30 clock I picked him. Now predicts the range indicator 178 km. So much of the on- board computer has never promised us! must also go through Mglicherweise mighty mini battery a few charge and discharge cycles before it can play its full Capacity. In any case aroused the car fills up with orange power cord to the E.
Sule, mighty stir. I have barely opened for the flap of the Zapfsule to pull the charging plug, as only two i. D stand next to me. " May I be curious? " Asks one, and leaned into the cockpit.
The other, in railway uniform, screened through the open tailgate of the battery.
Then they lchern me. The questions Ive known all of my neighbors. I will set out mssen to act as changing agency.
But thats okay. All right, when the electric Mini will be of interest and enjoyment. Maybe its the car of the future - . Sc - Thursday 6 August On the highway!
In city traffic, the Mini E purrs quietly, and quickly can be abhngen so at the lights of other cars. But what the current to the highway?
Yesterday I tested this the first time. Before the start of the editorial board the power display was about 70 percent. On motorways, the changed quickly. Because of the construction site on the millipedes zunchst was slow. From the Allianz Arenas were no longer Geschwindigkeitsbeschrnkung.
So drcken accelerator INTENSE Go! 100, 120, 140 kilometers per hour. Nothing more needed to be.
At 150 the car is anyway limited. Go fast there, I thought.
However, this procedure also draws power from the battery properly. The needle of the charge indicator moves rapidly toward 0 ziemli ch In Eching I have been below 50 percent. Better turn around!
I think I will go home! Once there was a good third of the charge exists.
Luck luck! One thing is now clear to me: Lngere driving on the highway are not the cause of the mini- mk- E Wednesday 5 August Sc- mate has launched today. He wants to climb mountains. Therefore, he has me in worse condition the Mini E.
A good idea - especially because sc with the stream of Mnchen kme While in the mountains, but not back to results back.
Sure, the Mini E has indeed only 150 kilometer range. Dafr brought me straight into the Guided Zwickmhle. A colleague brought me yesterday frherer nmlich by a not very small box of wine in the office. I love to take home this hut.
No problem on the passenger seat is so square, I thought. However, I had also promised a friend to pick her up from work. What to do? The Mini E has but one trunk that is really none. fit in the hut, not even the girlfriend. To cut a long story short, Ive decided the girlfriend then Fri.
The wine I take today. - Mk- Tuesday 4 August. Mini seeks connection! On the concierge at the Press House Bayerstrae reliable: It has freed our mini- Fri E is a socket in the yard. 32 amp electric power - as the dead battery after just four hours is full again.
Theoretically. In practice, I have a plug problem.
The charger of the Mini, although for 32 amps charging current designed to end in a plug, fr which the standard provides for only 16 amps. The 32- amp outlet is simply too great. It also gbe a format similar matching 16 amp socket in the recycling center of the publishing house. But when the Mini sucking it flies out the fuse. ( So little and so a thirst ) . Lets see if the house electrician einfllt what.
After all, E. ON has promised that we get access to demnchst Zapfsule on Bayers forum at the Paul- Heyse- Unterfhrung. Currently there is a thick, retractable bollards between us, fr the first radio transmitter must be obtained a few days ago I wrote at the start of the mini- D project of " pioneers" Now I fhle me like one. . . - sc Monday, 3 August. Slowly I am learnings. Not the driving itself, but how to deal with the gas- pardon the accelerator pedal.
The E- mini is distinguished even among other things, the fact that the motor and the generator zurckspeist current to the battery as soon as one goes from the pedal. In this case the car is braked, and rather violent - according to BMW with health to 0.
25 g. , Ill pressed discs with a quarter of my Krpergewichts forward. The result was even a zunchst frchterlicher Rumpel- driving style. Accelerating and braking.
In between was little. My first passenger looked a bit seasick .
Meanwhile, I further: It is - as so often - all a matter of feeling. You just have to deal with the pedal gently enough, then you can gently let the tramp also roll out. " Recuperate" And, like the professional the Srom- Rckgewinnung calls, he does it. But just as carefully, that you might not sprt, but can only read from the dafr zustndigen bar display in the speedometer. I will not let this thing from now on out of sight.
Perhaps I even one day to recuperate so much that the battery is full at the finish than at the start . - Sc Saturday 1 August. First shopping trip with the Mini E - alone, then the beer box fits on the front passenger seat . Somehow came up with funny to the supermarket parking lot, the people. Walking with her car in front of me in the middle of the road along, as if they want to stop me on purpose. Gemtsruhe go around behind the car over, ausparken as I want.
Rgern want me, or pulls it all to the hospital?
At some point, I realize: the lead not just me! If you roll in walking speed or ranks, the current is so low that the sum bit goes in the allgegenwrtigen Geruschkulisse. So look before every Rckwrtsfahren twice and always count on the fact that one runs away from the Khlerhaube. Just the way Ive learned it ages ago at the driving school again - .
Sc - Friday 31 July 2009.
After mk colleague drove the electric mini yesterday in the editorial ( the screeching tires, we want to see him, hes just BMW drivers ) , I was allowed to go home at night. incidentally without squeaking, shrill, Mr! The plan was simple: Leaving extension cable to go straight and pull into the garage, mini and recharge the battery overnight. It was then but a little something more complicated: I share my nmlich with a neighbor a duplex garage. As are other areas on a kind Hebebhne two cars.
My place is up, and the little Daihatsu Cuore, which is compared to the truly mini Mini, should now give way to the silver stream. The Hebebhne thought it was not funny and did not make a sound anymore. No wonder: the mini is 1555 pounds, almost twice as heavy as the little Japanese. So bring tools from the garage and move the device that determines the position of the car on the platform, all the way back.
As the lever is gnstiger. To 22 clock my fingers were lverschmiert, drenched in sweat, the clothes, but the Mini floated upward. A stage victory. However, I must now teach my wife somehow that the Radl- Hnger, the bike and all sorts of other Gert now has no place in the garage. I frche, storage space, which I have set up under cover of darkness in the garden, LSST not go through me.
At least the loading went well.
This morning was the mini- E again fully operational. I after two or three cups of coffee also, at least einigermaen. Ill report back if there is something new to report - from the Mini E, my wife and from the storage bin in the garden. sc Thursday 30 July 2009 Now it starts ACTUAL starts with the Mini E.
The test of the electric car. Even the Mnchner Mercury got a car. For a year we drfen drive around with it. The introduction to the 204- hp power generation have on Wednesday another two colleagues and a colleague .
Get with one of them I was earlier in the handing of the car at the German Museum. Now the car is in the courtyard of Mercury. Unfortunately, a lot of traffic on the way here. One, we have ( sc colleague in the passenger seat) , nonetheless noted.
The air box is not bad . Once when starting squeaked by mistake even the tires sc, me ( of course unbegrndeterweise) Fri hlt a quick driver, said only: " No comment! " Mk
