    Charging the MINI Electric in the UK

    The MINI Electric is a brilliant city car. Here's how to charge it in the UK and find hotels with EV charging on Sento.

    The MINI Electric (now the MINI Aceman E and Cooper E) is the perfect urban EV — small, stylish, and fun. Its charging specs reflect its city focus.

    MINI Electric Charging Specs

    • DC rapid: up to 50kW (CCS)
    • AC: up to 11kW (3-phase, Aceman E)
    • Range: around 140–180 miles (Aceman E, real-world UK)

    Charging in Practice

    The MINI Electric's modest range means you'll be charging more frequently on longer trips — but it's genuinely excellent for city and commuter use where 100-150 miles a day is typical.

    At 50kW DC, you can add around 80 miles in 30–35 minutes. At 11kW AC (Aceman E), a full charge from 20% takes around 2.5–3 hours.

    Hotel Charging for MINI Owners

    For longer trips (city breaks, weekend away), finding a hotel with EV charging is important. The MINI's small battery means a short hotel stay — even 3–4 hours — can fully charge the car.

    Stays on Sento are labelled charging on-site, charging nearby or standard — confirm charging with the property or a live charging map such as Zapmap before you travel. A Sento Charging Promise is coming soon.
