Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Mini Countryman E. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.
Europe
Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Mini Countryman E can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Mini Countryman E.
Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%

About this Vehicle
Mini Countryman E Overview
The Mini Countryman E positions itself as a premium compact electric SUV in the Mini electric SUV lineup, blending the brand’s signature go-kart handling with modern EV tech for urban adventurers and small families. Priced starting around $46,375, it targets buyers seeking a fun-to-drive alternative to mainstream EVs, emphasizing Mini’s playful design philosophy on the dedicated EV platform shared with broader BMW i models. Key distinguishing features include its dual-motor All4 all-wheel-drive system, roomy cabin with 56 cubic feet of cargo space, and premium interior ambiance that outshines budget rivals.
In the competitive EV landscape, the Mini Countryman E review highlights its mattering through agile dynamics and distinctive styling, despite a modest range. With EV specs like 308 horsepower and up to 212 miles of electric vehicle range, it appeals to those prioritizing driving joy over long-haul efficiency. The Countryman E stands out in the subcompact electric SUV segment by offering towing up to 2,645 pounds and a more engaging experience than appliance-like competitors.
Mini Countryman E Performance and Driving Experience
The Mini Countryman E delivers spirited performance with its 308-hp dual-motor setup, accelerating to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds during testing, thanks to 364 lb-ft of instant torque. Its All4 all-wheel-drive system—one electric motor per axle—ensures precise power distribution for sharp handling, achieving 0.85 g on the skidpad and a fun, go-kart-like demeanor on twisty roads. Real-world impressions praise its responsive steering and balanced chassis, though the 4,606-pound curb weight slightly dulls agility compared to lighter Minis.

Mini Countryman E Range and Battery Specifications
Official EPA range for the Mini Countryman E reaches 212 miles with 18-inch wheels (204 miles on 19s), powered by a 64.6-kWh usable lithium-ion battery (66.5 kWh nominal). Real-world tests show around 180-200 miles, impacted by cold weather, aggressive driving, or highway speeds at 75 MPGe. Efficiency ratings hit 94-99 MPGe city and 88-94 MPGe highway, making it suitable for daily commutes but less ideal for cross-country trips versus longer-range rivals.
Mini Countryman E WLTP range equivalents suggest up to 300+ km in mixed conditions, though real-world range drops in terrain-heavy or winter scenarios. Battery tech uses NCM chemistry with liquid cooling for reliability.
