Assumptions

Use this as a planning estimate, not an electrical design.

Pack defaults

The U68V Minicab MiEV is modelled with 10.5 kWh and 16.0 kWh options. Used vans should be derated for battery health.

Coffee equipment

The calculator estimates average load using duty cycle, not the peak draw. Real espresso machines need inverter and wiring design by a qualified installer.

Driving range

Payload, hills, heat, air conditioning, battery age, and stop-start routes can materially reduce range. Keep a reserve.

Reference basis: published Minicab MiEV summaries list 10.5 kWh and 16.0 kWh battery options with approximately 100 km and 150 km quoted van range. Validate the exact imported vehicle and battery condition before committing to a build.
