Mini Cooper SE Charging Guide: Speed, Time & Costs

Charging guide

Home and Destination Charging (0 → 100%)

Did you know that there are two options available to charge your Mini Cooper SE? You can charge it using a standard wall plug or a charging station. However, if you find yourself on the road, the charging station is your only option. Wall plugs do not have the capacity to charge your EV adequately. Charging times for your Mini Cooper SE depend on the type of charging station or EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) used, as well as the maximum charging capability of your EV. Refer to the chart below for all available charging options and approximate charging times to fully charge the battery from empty.

Europe

When it comes to charging an electric vehicle (EV), the process may vary by country throughout Europe. Depending on the location, some countries may predominantly rely on 1-phase connections whereas others may mostly use a 3-phase connection. The table below outlines the various charging modes that can be used for a Mini Cooper SE. Nonetheless, it's worth noting that certain charging modes might not be universally accessible across different countries. Thus, it's advisable to verify with your local electric vehicle charging networks to find out which charging options are available to you.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	15 hours	12 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	9h15m	19 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	4h45m	38 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	3h15m	55 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	3h15m	55 km/h

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)

Quickly increasing the range of your journey is crucial, and fast charging is the solution. It adds an optimal amount of range in the shortest possible time. However, charging power decreases significantly once the battery reaches an 80% state-of-charge. As a result, standard fast charging usually does not exceed that percentage. The charging speed of an electric vehicle relies on the charging station and the maximum charging power that the EV can handle. The following table provides a thorough overview of fast charging the Mini Cooper SE at different charging stations.

• Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
• Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
• Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
• Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
