Mini Cooper E Charging Overview and Charging Specs
The Mini Cooper E is equipped with a 41 kWh battery and supports both AC and DC charging. With the right setup, you can charge conveniently at home or use public charging stations for faster top-ups. This guide covers charging times, costs, plug types, and tips to maximise efficiency. The Cooper E uses a Type 2 plug for AC charging and a CCS connector for DC fast charging, both standard in Australia.

Mini Cooper E Recommended Charge Level
The Mini Cooper E uses an NMC battery. The typical recommended charge limit is 80% to 90% for daily use and only charge to 100% for longer trips.
The recommended charge limit for NMC batteries is due to higher degradation risk from a higher state of charge.
Check your owners manual for specific recommendations for the Mini Cooper E.
Mini Cooper E Bidirectional Charging (V2G/V2H/V2L)
The Mini Cooper E does not currently support bidirectional charging features such as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), or Vehicle-to-Load (V2L).
| Feature | Supported | Max Power Output |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) | No | - |
| Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) | No | - |
| Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) | No | - kW |
