How much does it cost to charge a MINI Countryman SE?

At the U.S. average residential rate (16.9¢/kWh), a full home charge of the MINI Countryman SE (64 kWh, ~212 mi range) costs about $12.02 — 6.1¢ per mile. Public DC fast charging at ~43¢/kWh runs about $27.52 per full charge.

How long does it take to charge a MINI Countryman SE?

On a Level 2 home charger the MINI Countryman SE accepts up to 22 kW, so an empty-to-full charge takes about 3.2 hours (roughly 61 miles of range per hour). At a DC fast charger its ~130 kW peak gives a 10–80% charge in about 32 minutes. On a standard 120V outlet (Level 1), a full charge takes around 54 hours.

What home charger do I need for a MINI Countryman SE?

Any Level 2 (240V) charger works; the MINI Countryman SE's onboard charger caps AC charging at 22 kW, so a 80A unit on a 100A circuit reaches that limit — a more powerful charger will not charge it faster. The electricity cost is the same at any speed: $12.02 per full charge at the national-average rate.

MINI Countryman SE charging speed & home charger

Cost does not depend on speed — a kWh is a kWh — but time does. These estimates use the MINI Countryman SE's onboard AC limit (22 kW) and its typical DC fast-charging peak (~130 kW); real sessions taper as the battery fills.

Home charger sizing: the MINI Countryman SE tops out at 22 kW on AC, so a 80-amp charger on a 100-amp circuit reaches its limit — a bigger unit adds nothing. Overnight (8 hours) on Level 2 restores about 212 miles, more than most daily driving. See Level 1 vs Level 2 and how many kWh it takes to charge an EV.
