CHARGING AT HOME.

An all-electric MINI is compatible with two types of AC Charging. The first cable can be plugged into any home conventional socket. The second enables you to charge much faster using a Wallbox with a higher AC power supply. So when it comes to charging your all-electric MINI – there’s no place like home.

Household plug.

Charging your all-electric MINI at home is easy. All you need is the supplied cable and a standard AC 230 V socket within reach. It’s cost effective and you can usually make further savings by charging at off-peak times.



2.5 hours of charging will be enough for your next commute of up to 50 km. And it will have recharged completely after approx. 15 hours (Cooper SE).

WALLBOX SOLUTIONS.

A Level 2 MINI Wallbox offers a convenient, faster alternative to the standard mains supply.
 


More power: figures vary, but the second charging cable that comes standard works with a 3-phase up to 22 kW home charger and will generally give you up to 3-times faster charging time. So your all-electric MINI can be fully charged within around 3.5 hours.


If you are interested in installing a premium quality wallbox solution, we would be happy to help you locate a specialist in your area.

THINGS YOU CAN DO WHILE CHARGING YOUR MINI.

With your all-electric MINI, you can take advantage of the ever-growing number of charging stations at public parking spaces. And if you're wondering how to pass the time, we've put together a few things you can do.
MINI Electromobility - charging - at work

CHARGE AT WORK.

Many employers have now embraced electric mobility and offer a truly modern workspace by providing EV charging for their employees. This is now seen as part of employee benefits and perks and helps with retention and workplace satisfaction. If your employer hasn’t implemented workplace charging yet, and there is space, why not suggest it could be a good move. There may well be grants, rebates and other incentives available for your company to fund a program and charging infrastructure.
MINI Electromobility - charging - shopping

CHARGE AND SHOP.

More and more supermarkets, shopping centres, furniture and DIY stores are offering free use of their AC, and DC, charging stations or triple chargers at their parking facilities. Why not use your shopping trip to take some electricity with you?
MINI Electromobility - charging - hotels and restaurants

HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS.

If you need to stay in a hotel, best check if it has vehicle charging facilities, so you can head off the next day with a full charge. When you use these services, you are, of course, helping to promote the transformation to e-mobility and the drive to decarbonise the planet. Similarly, hotels and restaurants can increase their visibility and coverage by welcoming EVs and present themselves as environmentally aware and sustainable. This achieves positionings in map services and navigation systems as well as additional points in hotel classification systems.

MINI Electromobility - charging - car parks

CAR PARKS.

Parking facilities are increasingly offering EV charging stations to the benefit of all concerned. They can promote themselves as sustainable and increase the attractiveness of their spaces to draw in new customers and boost profitability. Drivers using these services make an essential contribution to driving down emissions by supporting the expansion of e-mobility infrastructures.

CHARGE YOUR MINI ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. 

MINI Electromobility - charging - mini app perks

MEET SOME MINI ELECTRIC DRIVERS.

MINI Electric owners Monwar, Iola and Misty told us about some of their experiences, named favourite MINI Electric features and offered their top tips for making the electric switch.

MONWAR, KENT.

“It really is a breeze running a car like the MINI Electric.”

“If you’re considering the switch to electric, I’d have to say just do it! I get so much more of a rush in the MINI Electric than I do in a petrol or diesel car. I think if people were better educated about electric cars in general – charging, costs, range – they’d be more comfortable about making the change. I know a lot of people are nervous about charging, but there are charging points everywhere now. Also, the apps and tech available to you makes planning your journeys so much easier. It really is a breeze running a car like the MINI Electric.”

MISTY, LONDON.

“As time goes on, you also start to find chargers that work best for you.”

“I have to say, I was a bit worried about ‘range anxiety’. I didn’t ever want to be on a long journey without enough charge. But, with the MINI Electric, I’ve had absolutely no problems. It’s exactly what I need. To be honest, there will be times where I forget to charge overnight, but I’ve still got enough left to get to work or pop to the shops. The MINI Electric has other cool features that help you preserve your range. The different driving modes are great. There’s Sport, Mid, Green and Green+. I’m almost always in Green mode. I drive to Dorset regularly, and it’s great for long journeys. I’ve always got plenty of range, and the handling – the way the MINI Electric goes round country roads – feels great. It’s so smooth. A lot of thought has gone into making it fun and comfortable.”

IOLA, SOUTH YORKSHIRE.

“Make sure you plan journeys before you go.”

“My MINI Electric is my first electric car, but I’ve never really had any worries about charging. I was just curious as to how it worked. The questions I had were all pretty standard: How often do I have to charge? How easy is it? Where can I charge it? How long does it take? But, as I say, I’ve never had any issues. I do most of my charging at home via our Pod Point wallbox, but it’s easy to go further afield, too. The MINI Electric smartphone app makes charging easy. When I’m at home, I can use the app to set the car to charge at certain times of day. I can see how much a charge will cost me, and how much range the car currently has. Then, when I’m out and about, it’s really easy to use the app to find chargers."

THINGS WE'RE OFTEN ASKED.

To install your MINI WALLBOX correctly, we recommend using our installation service. Simply arrange this service with your MINI Partner, alongside the MINI Wallbox Essential. 

It’s all about keeping your battery as healthy as possible, for as long as possible. It is perfectly safe to charge your electric car to 100%, but the Lithium-Ion batteries that power most EVs are most efficient working in ranges from 20 to 80% – with charging rates slowing down considerably once the 80% mark has been reached. So while you can charge to 100%, if you can avoid it, the battery will thank you in the long term.

If you cannot start a charging session, please take into consideration the following recommendations:

Please check in advance if the charge point is available or out of order using the MINI App.

In case of technical or physical problems, please contact the charge point operator first. You can find the operator's service hotline on the charging station.

If the problem still remains, please contact our customer service team.
