Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

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 Aceman 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 Aceman E can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

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 Aceman E.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
  • Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

# Mini Aceman E: Compact Electric SUV Review

Mini Aceman E Overview

The Mini Aceman E represents Mini’s entry into the affordable electric SUV segment, positioning itself as a practical urban commuter with distinctive retro-modern styling. This front-wheel-drive electric crossover targets budget-conscious buyers seeking a compact, maneuverable vehicle perfect for city driving and daily commutes. The Aceman E combines Mini’s iconic design heritage with contemporary EV technology, featuring a circular OLED screen, Mini Operating System 9, and an intelligent personal assistant that define its tech-forward approach.

The Mini Aceman E matters in today’s EV landscape because it democratizes electric mobility without compromising on personality. Unlike generic compact EVs, the Aceman E delivers the agility and driving pleasure embedded in Mini’s DNA while offering genuine practicality with five seats and flexible cargo space. Its compact 4,079 mm length and 11.1-meter turning circle make it exceptionally suited for congested urban environments where larger electric SUVs struggle.

Mini Aceman E Performance and Driving Experience

The Mini Aceman E delivers responsive city-car dynamics with its 135 kW electric motor producing 184 horsepower and 290 Nm of torque. The instant torque delivery characteristic of electric motors makes the Aceman E feel zippy in urban traffic, despite its modest 7.9-second 0-100 km/h acceleration. With a balanced power-to-weight ratio of 12.2 kg/kW, the vehicle offers engaging handling that rewards spirited driving through tight city streets while maintaining composure on open roads.

The front-wheel-drive configuration provides predictable handling characteristics ideal for everyday driving, though the 160 km/h top speed reflects the Aceman E’s urban-focused design philosophy rather than highway performance ambitions.
