The Countryman E and SE ALL4 of 2024 on are battery electric cars with a 66.5 kWh pack and a socket on the offside rear quarter. The Cooper S E ALL4 of 2017 to 2023 is a plug-in hybrid whose socket is on the NEARSIDE FRONT WING, stated absolutely in its owner manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the BMW group convention and Mini follows it without exception: plug-in hybrids charge from the front nearside and electric cars from the rear offside. Knowing which you have tells you where to measure from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe electric cars: two three phase ratings, neither of them useful at home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Countryman E and SE ALL4 have an 11 kW three phase charger as standard with a 22 kW three phase one on the options list. The 7.4 kW ceiling is the house, not the cable: three phase ratings only mean something where three phases arrive. So buy the 32A single phase lead, and treat any shorter charge time you see quoted as a workplace figure rather than a domestic one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth those ratings need three phases, so the 22 kW upgrade does nothing at all on a British driveway and is only of use at a three phase public post. The German catalogue gives the honest domestic figure: 600 minutes to a full charge on a single phase 7.4 kW supply, against 390 minutes on three phases at 11 kW. Mini own page quoting three hours forty-five minutes at 22 kW is describing a supply almost no house has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth carry 66.5 kWh gross with about 64.6 usable and take 130 kW on DC, ten to eighty per cent in 29 minutes. Range is 287 miles for the E and 268 to 269 for the SE ALL4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe plug-in hybrid: 3.7 kW, and no rapid charging at all\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cooper S E ALL4 is a 3.7 kW single phase car, which means a British house gives it the full rate and there is nothing to lose. A heavier lead makes no difference, because nothing downstream of the onboard charger sets the pace. A 16A cable carries 3.6 kW and covers it completely; the 32A version buys current the car will not accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis car has no DC inlet whatsoever, which puts the whole charging job on the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 lead\u003c\/a\u003e. A motorway rapid is simply not available to it, and a car that arrives from a dealer with no cable cannot be charged at all until one turns up. That applies to both sub-generations: the 7.6 kWh car of 2017 to 2019 with 21 miles of electric range, and the 10.0 kWh facelift of 2020 to 2023 with 32 miles. The German data for both shows a Type 2 inlet with no DC field at all and charge times on AC only, and the owner manual charging chapter describes Mode 2 and Mode 3 cables and nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 10 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 64.6 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 32A single phase, electric cars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, three phase at 11 kW, electric cars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 38 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A at 3.6 kW, plug-in hybrid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFigures are calculated rather than quoted: battery divided by power, 13 per cent for losses, quarter hour rounding. The range column is deliberately cautious, at 3.5 miles per kWh. Columns are the 10 kWh plug-in hybrid and the 64.6 kWh electric car. Read the row that matches your car: the hybrid cannot use the 7.4 kW rate and the electric car is not limited to 3.6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug-in hybrid fills in about three and a half hours on a 16A lead, which is an evening.
