Charging the vehicle
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with
the series. It also describes features and
functions that are not necessarily available
in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected op-
tions or country versions. This also applies
to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems,
the applicable laws and regulations must be
observed.
Concept
The vehicle can be charged using various
charging cables at charging stations or
household sockets. Control and monitoring
of the charging process are handled com-
pletely automatically. The charge current
strength can be set via the Central Informa-
tion Display (CID).
General information
High-voltage battery
The high-voltage battery is used as an en-
ergy accumulator. The high-voltage battery
can be charged utilizing energy recovery
during the trip or via the power grid.
In order to operate the high-voltage battery
optimally, charge the vehicle regularly and
fully using a compatible charger.
When charging via the power grid, you can
chose between the following variants:
– Household socket.
– AC charging station.
– DC charging station.
For optimal use of the energy from the
power mains, charging at a charging sta-
tion, for instance MINI Wallbox, is recom-
mended.
Charge current
General information
The charge current strength is indicated in
amperes.
The vehicle cannot automatically detect the
maximum permissible charge current
strength of the power grid during charging
via a household socket.
Charging on a household socket
Prior to the first charging at your own
household socket, as well as when charging
at external electrical power sockets, the al-
lowed charge current strength must be de-
termined, for instance by a qualified electri-
cian.
The charge current strength for charging at
a household socket, refer to page 236, can
be adjusted in the vehicle in three levels.
At delivery, the charge current for charging
at a household socket is set to the lowest
level.
Depending on the country-specific version,
one of several ampere ratings is printed on
the Mode 2 charging cable. This ampere rat-
ing is the limit which must be adhered to
for the vehicle if the charge current is set to
the highest level. Depending on the charg-
ing cable, the charge current strength may
vary when lower levels are set.
