British houses run on one phase, so the car gets 16 amps and about 3.6 kW, and the second half of the charger sits idle. This is not a three phase car falling back to a third of its rating; it is a two phase car falling back to half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEV Database prints the British row without softening it: a single phase 32 amp supply nominally worth 7.4 kW gives this car 3.6 kW, limited by the onboard charger, taking ten hours forty five minutes to fill. That is identical to the 16 amp row. Seat own claim of eighty per cent in four hours from a 7.2 kW charger is simply not achievable at a normal British house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOwners have chased this and found nothing wrong\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this worth a paragraph is how many people have assumed a fault. UK owners of the Mii and its Skoda sister have taken cars back to dealers, had software updates applied and run diagnostic tools, all to explain why a 7 kW home charger only delivers 3.6 kW. Nothing was ever wrong. The charger wants two phases and a house has one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA German owner forum states the same thing about the Citigo-e in plainer engineering terms: charge on one phase and the car takes a maximum of 16 amps, which is about 3.6 kW. Same platform, same answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDC charging was standard on UK cars\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeat sold the Mii Electric in a single fully loaded trim in Britain, and its press material lists fast DC charging as standard equipment. So unlike some city cars of the era, every UK Mii Electric has a CCS socket. Rated at 40 kW, nought to eighty in about an hour, with EV Database measuring a 37 kW peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the home rate, that DC socket is more useful on this car than it sounds. A twenty minute rapid stop adds more than three hours on a driveway would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBattery and range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pack is 36.8 kWh gross with 32.3 usable, which Seat publishes properly rather than leaving to guesswork: 168 cells in an 84s2p arrangement of NMC622 chemistry at 310 volts nominal. WLTP range is 160 to 161 miles, with road tests landing between 140 and 170 depending on wheels and weather.\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, 32.3 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 at 3.6 kW, the car ceiling on one phase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 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, 16A at 3.6 kW, the same figure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 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\u003e15 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. Miles per hour is worked at a conservative 3.5 miles per kWh. Note that the 32 amp and 16 amp rows are identical, which is the whole point of this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNine to eleven hours from empty means this is an overnight car, and a cheap overnight tariff suits it perfectly. What it does not suit is a plan that depends on a quick evening top up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for a Mii Electric\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket is on the offside rear quarter, in the position the petrol Mii used for its fuel flap. Seat manual puts it plainly: press the cover of the battery charging socket, located at the rear of the right side. On a British car that is the driver side, at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe car is only 3.56 metres, which forgives a lot. Five metres is usually enough; ten if the charge point is on the nearside of the parking space. Work it out from where the car genuinely sits, not where it could sit, and leave slack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow these cables are built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIEC 62196-2 construction, CE marked, IP55 sealed and tested from -30C through to +50C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree pin construction follows IEC 62752, CE marked, IP67 rated, usable from -30C to +60C.
