Complete list? I don't think there's any. But Mini Coopers are compatible with Level 3 DC Fast public charging stations.

So, the battery in my car has a total capacity of around 30kWh, but I can only actually use about 28kWh. Even when it shows 100% charged, there's a little bit of extra capacity that's not accessible. I think they do this to protect the battery and help it last longer.

Just like I've read from other owners, the Mini Cooper SE, and the BMW i3 for that matter, have pretty big buffers in their batteries. This means it's totally fine to charge them to 100% all the time – no need to worry about limiting the charge. My SE doesn't even have an option to set a maximum...

@Mr.Cooper Regenerative braking works a little differently in each car. Some require you to be in a specific driving mode, others have a paddle behind the steering wheel to adjust the level, and some just rely on how you lift off the accelerator. You'll often hear people talk about "one-pedal...

I try to avoid running my engine that really low. These engines can get stressed when they're low on juice. To be safe, I always try to charge when I hit 20%. Wouldn't mind testing mine like you did but I think I will bringing a portable charger. Hahaha!

My neighbor drives a Countryman PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle). It has an electric-only range of about 30 miles. It also has a 1.5-liter turbocharged Cooper engine. I don't think a few small solar panels would generate enough electricity to make a significant difference. You'd probably...

I'm probably just old-fashioned, but I usually avoid features with names like 'Intelligent' or 'Smart'. I always seem to find a way to mess them up.

MINI is pretty upfront about the battery's buffer. My SE has a total capacity of 32.6kWh, but I can only actually use 28.9kWh. The rest is a buffer to protect the battery from being completely drained or overcharged. It's interesting – as my battery ages, I seem to be able to access a bit more...

@Ryzen9 Are you saying the battery is simply 'flat' (meaning it needs a charge but is otherwise healthy) or 'dead' (meaning it can no longer hold a charge)? If it's just flat: Try getting a jump start from a friend, neighbor, or family member. After the jump start, drive around for a while to...

I've had my electric vehicle for a week now and have already visited 7 different charging stations. Unfortunately, two were out of order for maintenance. Four of the stations I tried were extremely slow, which was frustrating. Electrify America was the best experience, but even there, 4 out of...

AC charging is generally slower than DC fast charging, so the charging speed difference might not be a significant concern for you. Plus, with a 7 kW charger, you should have plenty of range added overnight, making a faster charger potentially unnecessary. I'm curious, though. Why do you choose...

@goUP1990 My son set the charging schedule for our vehicle to run between midnight and 6 am. He also set a daily departure time of 8 am. The app won't allow him to schedule charging without a departure time, which he finds a bit odd.
