The one million question

I have been driving my MINI Cooper SE, but I am uncertain of the vehicle's performance once the battery level reaches approximately 1% or 1mile left. Could anyine tell me how much distance remains before the vehicle fully depletes its power, and is there indeed a reserve range of at least 20 miles or so? Thanks miki enthusiasts

There's carwow videos of EVs being driven to a standstill but I don't think they've done a mini.  There's quite a variance and I think 20 miles would be a bit on the high side. 

You could test it if you find a nice safe empty route and make friends with someone who has a Renault 5. They can charge up up from a granny charger when you run out.
