Energy consumption is displayed on the dashboard and is re-calculated as you drive. It is different to the WLTP-rated consumption (which measures power from the mains).
This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
The maximum speed the EV can charge at home or a public AC charger.
An EV has a built-in charger that converts household AC electricity into DC current that goes into the battery.
This limits the maximum speed you can charge at home - no matter what extra equipment you install. Some public chargers (such as at motor camps and shopping malls) are also AC only.
Fast Charge ⚡
The maximum speed the EV can charge at a DC fast charger.
Speed is also limited by the capacity of the public charger. In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.
Temperature (20°+ is ideal) and battery state-of-charge affect speed (an empty battery charges faster).
While initially called the MINI Hatch or MINI Cooper SE, the branding was simplified to MINI Electric, as an all-new Mini Cooper was set to release in late 2023.

The electric Mini has had slow but steady sales since introduced in 2020. The small hatchback has a shorter range compared to other EV hatchbacks (note that Mini claims a 233 km range - but this is only possible if you are driving on 50 km/h roads.

Electric go-karting – Mini Electric Hatch review
"The Mini electric hatch (for the most part) looks like a Cooper S, it just has a few ‘green’ highlights, and drives like it too. It’s a city-dwelling, go kart handling rascal that’s entertaining to pilot and easy on the environment."
Mini Electric review: how does it drive in New Zealand?
"But this one ticks most of them and that's pretty good. I was going to say I don't want to use another Austin Powers reference but I'm gonna: This sort of car, it really is my bag baby."
