Mini Aceman
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Aceman+−
The Mini Aceman has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW on three-phase chargers. A 7.4kW cable would cap it. On a single-phase home wallbox both cables charge at the same 7.4kW.
Which Mini Aceman versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Mini Aceman, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Mini Aceman E Sport
- Mini Aceman SE Sport
- Mini Aceman E Classic
- Mini Aceman SE Classic
- Mini Aceman E Exclusive
- Mini Aceman E Monochrome
Whichever Aceman trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

How long does it take?
Charging
the Mini Aceman.
The Mini Aceman is the J05-generation electric SUV that sits in Mini's line-up between the three-door Cooper E and the larger Countryman. It launched in 2024 with a 54.2kWh gross battery (around 49.2kWh usable) and is offered in E Sport, SE Sport, E Classic, SE Classic, E Exclusive and E Monochrome trims. DC rapid charging peaks at around 95kW via CCS, and AC charging uses a Type 2 inlet.
When you charge at home or stop at a public AC point, the connection is made with a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Rapid DC sessions at motorway chargers use the station's own fixed lead, so that is not part of the kit you need to buy. The Aceman's onboard AC charger accepts up to 11kW, but reaching that rate in practice depends on having a three-phase electrical supply.
Estimates based on battery size and charge power. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the Aceman need?
The Aceman's onboard charger is rated to 11kW across three phases, but a single-phase connection, which is what the vast majority of UK homes have, caps the charging rate at 7.4kW. At that speed, the Aceman charges from empty in around seven hours, well within an overnight session. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the obvious, cost-effective choice for most owners.
Buying a 22kW three-phase cable is only worth considering if your home has a three-phase supply, which is rare in residential properties, or if you regularly charge at 22kW public AC points where the Aceman can reach its full 11kW. Connect either cable to a standard single-phase wallbox and the result is identical: 7.4kW. There is no speed gain to chasing a higher-rated cable unless your supply can actually support it.
What does it cost to charge?
A full charge on the usable 49.2kWh battery costs roughly £4 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or roughly £13 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p per kWh. The Aceman's modest battery size means those charges happen quickly and cheaply. Public rapid charging at around 45p to 80p per kWh costs significantly more, so leaning on home or workplace charging keeps running costs low. Verify current tariff rates before you plan your charging routine.

Mini Aceman FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Mini Aceman charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Mini Aceman has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
What length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
What charging cable does the Mini Aceman need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC chargers. The Aceman's charging inlet is Type 2. For home charging on a single-phase supply, a 7.4kW cable gives the full speed your connection can offer. A 22kW cable is only useful if you have a three-phase supply at home or you regularly charge on 22kW public AC points.
Does the Mini Aceman charge at 11kW?+−
Yes, on a three-phase connection. The onboard charger is rated to 11kW on three phases. Because most UK homes are single-phase, the practical home charging ceiling is 7.4kW for the majority of Aceman owners. A 22kW public AC charger or a three-phase home supply would allow the full 11kW.
How long does the Mini Aceman take to charge at home?+−
At 7.4kW on a single-phase home wallbox, the Aceman takes around seven hours from empty. That is a comfortable overnight charge for most drivers. A standard 3-pin granny lead extends that to around 20 to 22 hours, which is slow enough to make it an emergency backup rather than a routine option.
What cable length suits the Mini Aceman?+−
A 5m cable covers the typical home driveway and most public charging bays without excess. If there is more distance between your wallbox and where the car parks, such as a long driveway or an awkward parking layout, a 7m or 10m lead removes the guesswork. It is worth pacing out the distance before you buy.
