Miles better? The plug-in Mini s range claims and its real-world performance seem at odds

Short circuit
We purchased a new Mini Electric. They advertise a 140-mile range, but the most we can achieve is 90 miles. Is this a fault, or is the advertising misleading? TE
The official WLTP range is “up to 145 miles”. You won’t get that in winter because the ambient temperature is too low for the battery to work at peak efficiency and also because you’ll use more accessories that are powered by the battery, such as the heater. Driving carefully you should get closer to 140 miles in the summer.
