A NEW RHYTHM OF LIFE.
The moment you start driving the all-electric MINI, you’ll enjoy its fun-to-drive performance, smooth, strong acceleration and quiet delivery. The all-electric MINI opens up a whole new routine and lifestyle for you. After all, you can ‘tank up’ with the 'fuel' you need, whenever you want – at home.
PLUG IN AT HOME.
You don’t actually need any complex installation or unit to charge at home. All you have to do is plug in to any conventional household power socket – and relax.
Our surveys show us that the average commuter uses less than 20% of the MINI Cooper SE battery per day. Even if you use your normal domestic electric socket, this 20% is charged in approximately 3 hours. The standard charging cable and adapter is, of course, included with your new all-electric MINI.
With an optional Mode 3 cable, you can charge anywhere you park.
YOU CAN DO IT IN YOUR SLEEP.
You can finally have it all. Wake up, fully rested in the morning to a 'full tank', and start the day, full of energy.
Just like a mobile phone, you can plug your all-electric MINI into your domestic household socket overnight and it will have recharged completely (approx. 15 hours).
Should you happen to park in a basement car park, you could ask your landlord if it would be possible to install a simple socket for your parking space.
GOOD TO KNOW.
One interesting fact is that since household electricity is charged per kilowatt/hour, it doesn't make a difference to you financially whether you charge your MINI faster – or slower.
WALL OF POWER.
While you can always use your standard charging cable at home or on a holiday trip, the premium quality MINI Wallbox offers you a convenient, faster alternative for daily charging at home.
Figures can vary, of course, but a dedicated, 3-phase 11 kW wallbox connection 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.
To install a wallbox, you will need the expert assistance of an approved electrician. If you are interested in installing a MINI Wallbox, your MINI Retailer will help you locate an installer.
PARK IT. CHARGE IT.

CHARGING AWAY FROM HOME.
As much as we love driving our MINI, we still have to park it from time to time – and usually for much of the day.
Make double use of your parking time.
With your all-electric MINI, you can make good use of this time by taking advantage of the ever-growing number of charging stations at public parking spaces.
More and more supermarkets, shopping centres and furniture stores are offering free use of their AC, and DC, charging stations or triple chargers at their parking facilities. A growing number of hotels are also keen to be seen as more environmentally aware and making more effort to accommodate guests with electric vehicles. And some multi-storey car parks are also offering electric parking spaces at no extra cost.
Flexible and clean.
You can charge your all-electric MINI with an optional Mode 3 cable at public 11 kW charging stations.
Several public charging stations are equipped with both alternating current (AC) via a Type 2 connector and direct current (DC) via CCS plug that gives you up to 50kW electric power.
POWER = WORK/TIME.
If you have a parking space at work, your employer might consider setting up charging facilities for you and your colleagues. The same conditions apply as with charging at home. If you park for a longer period, a high-voltage connection isn’t required. A standard socket is all you need – so you can start your journey home with a fully-charged battery.
The high charge power provided by the Combined Charging System (CCS) comes into play for charging on longer distances.

HELPING SAVE THE EARTH COULD SAVE YOU MONEY.
Electric mobility can benefit the environment and have a positive impact on your wallet – if done in the right way.
LOW WEAR AND TEAR.
The all-electric MINI drivetrain consists of far fewer working parts than a combustion engine. That means there are accordingly fewer parts that need to be repaired or replaced over time.
BRAKE ENERGY REGENERATION.
Your all-electric MINI converts braking energy into electricity by using its motor as a generator, and puts some power back into your battery every time you decelerate.
This so-called regenerative braking also conserves the disc brakes and prevents the creation of fine dust particles caused by the wear abrasion of the brake discs.

FAQs.
Charging at home.
How do I install the Wallbox?
To install your MINI Wallbox correctly, we recommend using a trusted provider. You can arrange this service with your MINI Retailer, alongside the MINI Wallbox Essential.
If additional work is needed in order to connect the charging station, a qualified electrician will be happy to provide you with an individual, easy-to-understand quote.
What requirements must be met in my garage?
We recommend a three-phase connection with fuse protection of at least 16 A – this will allow 11 kW to be supplied to the vehicle. A three-phase connection with 32 A fuse protection will be future-proof. All PHEV vehicles can be charged with a max. 3.7 kW single-phase supply using the MINI Wallbox Essential.
What are the benefits of the MINI Wallbox Essential?
Shorter charging time: Up to 7.4 kW (single-phase) or 11 kW (three-phase), cable length 5.0 m, simple cable handling, integrated fault current detection ("DC leakage").
Can I use the Wallbox to charge vehicles from other manufacturers?
Yes, if you use a charging plug with "Type 2" standard or the CCS plug (combi plug).
How long is the cable for the MINI Wallbox Essential?
5 metres, securely attached to the Wallbox.
Can the cable be disconnected from the Wallbox?
No.
Can I install the Wallbox outdoors?
Yes, the MINI Wallbox Essential is certified for external use according to protection class IP 54. This means that protection against weather is not absolutely necessary. The Wallbox has been developed and certified for external use. However, we recommend installing it indoors for reasons of comfort; this additionally prevents snow and ice from forming on the Wallbox during winter and will keep your Wallbox free from dirt and moss for longer.
Does the Wallbox emit any radiation?
No – comprehensive electromagnetic tolerance tests have confirmed that the MINI Wallbox Essential does not emit any radiation.
Can I lock the Wallbox?
During the charging process, the charging cable is locked, which locks the vehicle. The BMW i Wallbox Connect can also be locked when it is not in use.
Can vehicles remain permanently connected to the Wallbox even if I am away for several weeks?
Yes – however, this does mean that energy will continuously be consumed, but at a low rate.
Who should I contact if I have a problem with the Wallbox?
If any unexpected problems arise after the Wallbox is installed, or if your Wallbox is faulty, you can contact MINI Assist at any time.

HOW DO I FIND MINI CHARGING CHARGING STATIONS?
The MINI navigation system provides you with direct access to all charging stations in the MINI Charging network.
You can also search for charging stations: When you set "charging stations" as a special destination in your navigation system, you will be presented with a list of charging stations near you.
The MINI Charging app offers you another option by allowing you to access a list of all available charging stations on your smartphone.
HOW DOES CHARGING AT A CHARGING STATION WORK?
You can use the MINI Charging map or the MINI Charging app to unlock charging stations and start the charging process.
Some charging columns can be operated using the MINI Charging app. The app, which features an integrated QR code scanner, is as easy to use as it is to install. To do so, simply download the app, enter your MINI Charging contract number and your PIN.
HOW DO I PAY?
Your vehicle is charged using cashless payments – you can pay conveniently via a monthly direct debit from your payment account. Your MINI Charging online account provides you with a constant overview of your charging processes and the costs.
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW WHEN CHARGING?
- Switch the engine off and apply the handbrake.
- If necessary, set the current before charging.
- Do not use any extension cables.
- Always connect and disconnect the charging cable in this order:
Connecting:
- Connect to the socket.
- Connect to the vehicle.
Disconnecting:
- Disconnect from the vehicle.
- Disconnect from the socket.
LED lights:
- White light: Signal light
- Red light: Charging error
- Orange light: Initialising
- Blue light: Charging active
- Green light: Charging complete
- Lock the vehicle. The charging process will only start once your vehicle is locked.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHARGING USING ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) AND DIRECT CURRENT (DC)?
Normal charging with alternating current (AC):
This charges your car efficiently, primarily overnight but also during the day. Compared to a domestic power socket, an AC charging station provides more power and can charge the battery in just a few hours. This type of charging station is referred to as an AC charging station, for short.
Quick charging with direct current (DC):
DC quick charging stations are the better option when you need to charge your car fast. They can recharge your vehicle's battery quickly – while you go shopping or have a bite to eat, for example. The charging process lasts between 30 and 40 minutes. This type of charging station is referred to as a DC charging station, for short.
WHO DO I CONTACT FOR HELP IF I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CHARGING COLUMN?
For more information, see www.mini-charging.com
Please note: If you encounter a problem with the charging column, please contact the operator of the charging column. Their contact number can usually be found on the charging column.
