One pedal driving includes coasting in the Mini as far as I’m concerned as you not only modulate how far you push down to accelerate but how much you back off to control how much regen you get and thus how quickly you slow down. You are also able to move the power needle to the “ready” position to coast by not backing off the pedal fat enough to induce regen.
So these journalists writing that one pedal driving is not as efficient as coasting need to learn how to do one pedal driving correctly, which includes coasting. Exactly the same in a Tesla too.
I seem to get far more range around town and on the highway than these journalists, even so called EV experts as self labeled by this very sites YouTube presenters and I suspect that is simply down to right foot control. I use coasting all the time, not just before red lights (if far enough away) but also on the highway if a car moves into my lane up ahead or if I get to a downhill section etc.
