EV charging can be a whole new world! The 20-80% rule is more of a “best practice” thing to help the battery last longer, but it’s not strict. Going to 100% once in a while, especially for a longer drive, is no big deal. Unfortunately, there isn’t a charge limit option with Mini, so I just use...

Hey, congrats on the Mini SE! For fast charging, it shouldn’t stop when you lock the car, normally, it should keep charging whether it’s locked or unlocked. Maybe try another fast charger to see if it’s the charger or the car. As for the 80% thing, that’s likely a setting to preserve battery...

That kit looks solid, but drilling into the bumper sounds like a commitment. 😅 If you’re like me and looking to save a few bucks, maybe consider the Thule UpRide or the Saris Bones 2-Bike rack. They’re not as custom, but they both fit well and don’t involve any permanent modifications to your...
