Notes for MINI Electric owners
- The Cooper E's small battery fills from 20% to 80% overnight on a 10 A power point.
- Older MINI Electric (2020–2023) models had a 28.9 kWh usable battery, which fills even faster.
- Plug straight into the wall. No extension leads, powerboards or adapters, and ideally use an outlet on its own circuit.
