Mini Countryman E
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Countryman E+−
The Mini Countryman E 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.

Charging
the Mini Countryman E.
The Mini Countryman E is the all-electric version of the third-generation Countryman SUV, on sale in the UK from 2024. Built on the same BMW Group U25 platform used by the iX1 and iX2, it carries a 66.5kWh battery and comes in a wide range of trims from the Classic to the SE ALL4 Sport. All UK versions charge through a Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS port for rapid DC at up to 130kW. The Countryman E is Mini's largest electric model to date, aimed at families who want the brand's character in a genuinely practical package.
For AC charging at home or away, the cable you provide is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. The Countryman E's onboard charger handles up to 11kW on three phases, which is the upper boundary no cable can exceed. A 5m lead covers the majority of home and destination charging situations, and most owners find it the most practical length to store in the boot alongside the charging bag.
The 66.5kWh battery fills in around 9 to 10 hours on a 7.4kW home wallbox. An overnight charge from most states of charge is comfortable. 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 Countryman E need?
The right cable for the Countryman E is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. For home use, a cable rated to 7.4kW (32A single-phase) is all you need: UK homes operate on a single-phase supply, which caps AC charging at 7.4kW regardless of what the car's onboard charger can accept. Spending more on a 22kW cable does not unlock any extra speed at home.
The 22kW three-phase cable comes into its own at public AC stations rated at 22kW. At those points the Countryman E's 11kW onboard charger can work at its maximum, compared to the 7.4kW it can draw through a single-phase connection. If your charging pattern includes regular stops at 22kW town-centre chargers or hotel destination points, the upgrade is worth considering. Otherwise, a quality 5m or 7m 7.4kW cable is the straightforward, money-sensible choice.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 66.5kWh battery from empty costs roughly £5 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or around £18 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p per kWh. For a car of this size, those are reasonable home charging figures. Public rapid DC charging at 45p to 80p per kWh is considerably more expensive and best treated as a top-up on long journeys rather than routine use. Tariff rates change, so check with your energy supplier.

Mini Countryman E FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat 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 Countryman E need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charging points. A 5m, 7.4kW cable suits most home setups. The Countryman E's onboard charger accepts up to 11kW on three phases, so a 22kW cable only benefits owners with a three-phase supply or regular use of 22kW public AC stations.
Can the Mini Countryman E charge at 22kW?+−
No. The Countryman E's onboard AC charger tops out at 11kW on three phases, so 22kW is not achievable. On a standard UK single-phase home supply the rate is limited to 7.4kW regardless of cable. At a 22kW public AC point with a three-phase cable, the car pulls 11kW.
How long does the Mini Countryman E take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW home wallbox, the 66.5kWh battery takes around 9 to 10 hours from near-empty to full, which sits comfortably within an overnight window. A standard 3-pin socket at 2.3kW takes over 30 hours for the same task and is not practical for daily use.
What DC rapid charging speed does the Mini Countryman E support?+−
The Countryman E accepts DC rapid charging at up to 130kW via its CCS port, using the charger's own tethered cable. At a capable 130kW rapid charger, the battery goes from 10% to around 80% in roughly 35 to 40 minutes, making it manageable for a motorway break.
