Charging the Mini Electric

The Mini comes with a 10A Type 2 home charger that plugs in to a standard wall socket. This will take around 19 hours to charge from empty to full.
Fully charged the Mini SE will have around 234km range. The mini uses a Type 2 socket and Type 2 CCS for fast charging.

For faster home charging, we recommend getting a Wall mounted Smart EV charger. This will add around 40km of range per hour its plugged in and will take around 5 hours to charge from 0 to 100%

Type 2 Public charger like the ones you find a super markets, malls, hotels & Motels. You will need to bring your own cable for these. Plug share will show the chargers in your area and you can see what sort of cables are needed.

What sort of cable do I need for Public charging?

The Mini is capable of charging at 11kW 3 phase. We recommend a 3 phase Type 2 to Type 2 charge cable to make use of these chargers. You will also be able to use single phase chargers with this cable.

The majority of free public chargers use the Type 2 Socket, so this cable will allow you to use the chargers. Note Some public charges have a Type 2 hard wired so a cable is not needed 100% of the time.

Chargers

We recommend our 7kW home charger, this suits most peoples needed. Select from one with a cable attached or a socket on the front and purchase a cable separately. If you have 3 phase available at home you can use the Tron 22kW charger.
