You can also allow the car to choose the best time to charge. Simply change the settings in the app. This has always worked well for me.

Try restarting your infotainment. This might fix any software glitches.

I think setting the charging rate is in the manual. Got this online. Try these.

Try restarting your car and your app. Maybe that would solve the issue.

Is there a timer set on your Pod Point? When the car begins to charge, the charging cable should automatically lock. The same thing happened to my ChargePoint when I used a timer. When the timer went off, the cable locked.

I thought that feature was only on some BMWs?

Will you cover up the extra vents on the JCW grille? If not, it may reduce the car's range.

I agree. Lighter wheels can improve both range and performance.

I've noticed that preconditioning can use a lot of power at first. I watched the power usage and saw it spike to 7kW when the car was already charged, then drop to 3.5kW. So, preconditioning can use a lot of power at first, which might affect your range a little bit.

Did you have the latest Mini App installed? You should try checking it.

I think it can go below 0% battery, but the car will go into a low-power mode to prevent the battery from dying completely.

Faster chargers, such as DC fast chargers, typically cost more than slower AC chargers. Different charging networks offer different pricing plans. Some charge a flat fee, while others charge according to how much energy you use. Apps such as PlugShare and ChargePoint can help you find the best...

The cable can only handle so much power, but how much power it uses depends on the load (like how fast you're charging). So, it's best to use a cable that can handle a lot of power, especially if it's a long cable. The Mini's charger has three settings: Max, Reduced, and Low. The Low setting is...

The charger is designed to withstand bad weather, but it's always a good idea to protect it from extreme conditions. You might want to use a weatherproof cover to keep it safe from snow, rain, and extreme temperatures.

My Ohme Pro on Intelligent Octopus is charging slowly lately. I believe this is due to the grid balancing. The advantage is that you may be able to pay the lower rate for a longer period.

Depending on the model, the New Mini Electric will travel up to 190 or 250 miles on a single charge. That's significantly better than the previous one and should be sufficient for your daily 80-mile commute. Believe it or not, electric vehicles are safer than gasoline-powered vehicles. EV...

That's cool! Seems like you got a bit more charge than the 32.6 kWh they say. That could be because of the battery chemistry and the temp. While it's cool to have a bit extra, remember that the 32.6 kWh is just an estimate, and you might lose some over time. Enjoy your new MINI Cooper SE!

It seems like charging to 100% isn't bad, but it's best to avoid leaving the battery full for too long. Mini's departure time thing can help with this. While it's a bit annoying to change the time all the time, it's a good way to make the battery last longer.

A home charger is cool, but you don't always need one, especially if there are public chargers around. Think about how much you drive and if there are chargers nearby. If you do get a home charger, check for local deals and discounts to save money.

Haven't heard of that issue yet with the latest models. It would be best to call your dealer about it.
