Mini Countryman SE ALL4
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Countryman SE ALL4+−
The Mini Countryman SE ALL4 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 Countryman SE ALL4 versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Mini Countryman SE ALL4, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Mini Countryman SE ALL4 Sport
- Mini Countryman SE ALL4 Classic
- Mini Countryman SE ALL4 Exclusive
Whichever Countryman SE ALL4 trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Mini Countryman SE ALL4.
The Mini Countryman SE ALL4 is the dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant of Mini's largest model, the U25 generation Countryman launched in 2024. Built on a platform shared with the BMW iX1 and iX2, it carries a 66.5kWh gross battery and drives both axles through separate front and rear motors. The available trims are Sport, Classic, and Exclusive. Like its siblings it uses a Type 2 inlet for AC charging and a CCS port for DC rapid sessions; the cable you bring for home or public AC charging is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
The SE ALL4's onboard AC charger supports up to 11kW on three phases. DC rapid charging peaks at 130kW and, as with any EV, uses the charger's own tethered cable rather than one you supply. The dual-motor setup adds grip and performance but does not change the AC charging arithmetic: what matters for cable choice is the onboard charger rating and the supply type, not whether the car is two-wheel or four-wheel drive.
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 Countryman SE ALL4 need?
The Countryman SE ALL4's 11kW three-phase charger is capable of faster AC charging than a standard UK home can deliver. Single-phase supplies, which cover the vast majority of UK homes, cap the charge rate at 7.4kW no matter what cable you plug in. At that rate the 66.5kWh pack takes around nine hours from empty, which fits neatly into an overnight session. A 7.4kW Type 2 cable gives you the full speed your home can offer and is the straightforward, lower-cost choice for home charging.
There is a genuine case for a 22kW cable if your circumstances include a three-phase home supply or a 22kW AC charger at work or a regular destination. At an 11kW three-phase charger with a 22kW cable, charge time drops to around six hours from empty, saving roughly three hours compared with the single-phase route. That saving is real and worth the extra outlay if the infrastructure is there. Without that three-phase source, the cable rating makes no difference whatsoever.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 66.5kWh battery from empty costs roughly £5 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £18 at a standard rate of roughly 27p per kWh. These are comfortable figures for a car in the premium compact SUV bracket, and the Countryman suits a routine of topping up at home overnight. Public rapid charging at 45p to 80p per kWh is significantly dearer, so it is worth using it selectively for longer trips. Check current tariff rates, as they change.

Mini Countryman SE ALL4 FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 need?+−
The Mini Countryman SE ALL4 has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on up to three-phase AC 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 cable does the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC chargers. The SE ALL4's onboard AC charger supports up to 11kW on three phases. On a standard single-phase UK home supply a 7.4kW cable delivers the full available speed. A 22kW cable only adds speed at three-phase chargers or on a three-phase home supply.
Can the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 charge at 22kW?+−
No. The maximum AC rate is 11kW on three phases. At a 22kW public AC charger with the right cable, the car draws 11kW. On a standard single-phase home wallbox the rate is capped at 7.4kW regardless of cable rating. A 22kW cable on a single-phase supply charges the Countryman at exactly the same speed as a 7.4kW cable.
How long does the Mini Countryman SE ALL4 take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase wallbox the 66.5kWh battery takes around nine hours from empty, well within an overnight window. At 11kW three-phase that drops to roughly six hours. On a three-pin household socket expect around 27 hours from empty, which makes a dedicated wallbox a practical necessity for regular Countryman SE ALL4 ownership.
Is a 5m or 7m cable better for the Mini Countryman SE ALL4?+−
A 5m cable is enough for most driveways. The Countryman is one of Mini's larger models, so if you park well forward in the drive or the gap between wallbox and charging port is more than a couple of metres, a 7m cable gives an easier reach without strain. If in doubt, measure from the socket to where the car usually sits and add about a metre.
