Weekend Unfiltered: My New MINI Electric and Jon’s Ford Explorer Drive
About this episode
Bobby and Jon discuss their experiences with the MINI Cooper Electric and Ford Explorer EV in a relaxed conversation about modern electric vehicles.
244 In this weekend unfiltered chat, Bobby and Jon do exactly what listeners have come to enjoy most from these candid catch-ups: hit record and let the conversation go where it wants. This time, Bobby is speaking from inside his brand new MINI Cooper Electric and, despite previously saying he’d never own an EV, he’s already completely won over. From the remote parking features and Apple-like build quality to the OLED display, voice controls and overall personality of the car, he shares why this MINI feels special almost immediately. Jon then talks through his recent Ford Explorer EV test drive, including the biggest surprise of all: just how much better it felt to be back in an electric car. The pair get into real-world range, battery pre-warming, charging practicality, interior design, trim choices, safety systems and how different buyers prioritise different things depending on where and how they drive. It’s a relaxed but genuinely useful conversation about what makes a modern EV appealing, what still causes hesitation and why range, tech and ease of use matter so much in the real world.
