Welcome to the discussion! Hopefully you have no time pressure and can wait for the possible chip shortage controversies to resolve. Mini appears to be making unannounced changes to trim lines based on component shortages.
 
Welcome! I'm sure you are going to love your SE, all of us here do!

So you are new to EVs, and you are a one-car family. Will the SE add to your fleet or replace the one you have? I assume you are aware of its relatively short range and slower charge times. If the SE will become your new only car, do you not drive far, or do you have a plan for longer trips? They can be done (mine is an EV-only household), but it is relatively early in the adoption curve. Trips require planning and patience.

Thanks for the heads up.
This will be a replacement of my existing car. As I am living in a city and everything is close by I figure I will be fine on a daily basis. The longest distance in the future will be going to the dealership which is about 30 KM one way. Here we do not have that many charging stations as in the States but I think more will be coming. The most advertised charging facility is what Petro Canada called an electric highway, which actually is that they are building charging stations in selected gas stations. So for long distance trips I will have no problem as long as I am not pressing for time.
