Charge speeds
Across the Mini range.
Every Mini here uses a Type 2 inlet, so one Type 2 to Type 2 cable fits the range. On-board AC charging ranges from about 3.7kW to 11kW depending on the model. A cable never charges faster than your car's on-board charger or your home supply allows, so on a standard single-phase UK home a 7.4 kW cable gives the full speed available.
Speeds are on-board AC limits. Rapid DC uses the station's own cable.

Charging guide
Charging
your Mini.
Mini's electric and plug-in range currently covers 8 models: the Cooper E, Cooper SE (both the older F56 generation and the newer J01), the Aceman, the Countryman E, the Countryman SE ALL4, and the plug-in hybrid Countryman Cooper S E ALL4 and Countryman PHEV. Every Mini on this list uses a Type 2 inlet, so they all take the same Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging.
What differs between models is how fast they charge on AC. The full electric Minis, including the Cooper E, Cooper SE and both Countryman electric variants, have 11kW three-phase onboard chargers, while the two plug-in hybrid Countrymans charge more slowly on AC at around 3.7kW. Pick your model below for its specific charge times and recommended cable, or read the brand-wide guidance underneath.
What charging cable does a Mini need?
Every Mini EV and plug-in hybrid uses a Type 2 inlet, so the cable you need is a Type 2 to Type 2. A 5m lead suits most home driveways and wallboxes; go for 7m or 10m if you park on-street or your wallbox is further from the car. No Mini needs a Type 1 cable.
The battery electric Minis, including the Cooper E, Cooper SE (F56 and J01), Aceman, Countryman E and Countryman SE ALL4, all have 11kW three-phase onboard chargers. On a standard single-phase UK home supply, that means charging is capped at 7.4kW regardless of the cable used. A 7.4kW cable delivers the full speed your home can provide. A 22kW cable only helps if you have a three-phase supply or regularly visit 22kW public AC points.
The Countryman Cooper S E ALL4 and Countryman PHEV charge at around 3.7kW on AC, which is well within what a standard 7.4kW cable can deliver. Their smaller batteries also charge fully overnight from a 3-pin granny charger. In short, a single 5m 7.4kW Type 2 cable suits the entire Mini range at home.

Contact usDo all Minis use a Type 2 charging cable?+−
Yes. Every Mini EV and plug-in hybrid, from the Cooper SE and Aceman to the Countryman E and the plug-in hybrid Countrymans, uses a Type 2 inlet. They all take the same Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging, and no Mini needs a Type 1 cable.
What charging cable does a Mini Cooper SE or Cooper E need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, 5m for most driveways. Both have an 11kW three-phase onboard charger, but on a standard single-phase UK home supply they charge at 7.4kW. A 7.4kW cable covers this fully; a 22kW cable only adds benefit if you have a three-phase supply or use 22kW public AC points.
Can a Mini charge at 22kW?+−
No Mini charges at 22kW on AC. The battery electric models top out at 11kW on three phases, and the plug-in hybrid Countrymans charge at around 3.7kW. On a standard UK single-phase home supply, every Mini charges at 7.4kW or less, so a 22kW cable offers no benefit at home.
What cable does a Mini Countryman plug-in hybrid need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The Countryman PHEV and Countryman Cooper S E ALL4 charge at around 3.7kW on AC, so a standard 7.4kW cable is more than sufficient. Their batteries are small enough that a 3-pin granny charger can top them up overnight if needed.
What length cable do I need for my Mini?+−
5m covers most home wallboxes and public charge points. Choose 7m or 10m if you park on-street, share a charger, or your wallbox sits further from the car's charging port. Buy the shortest length that comfortably reaches, since longer cables are heavier to handle and cost more.
