Our pick for the Cooper SE
myenergi Zappi 7 kW
We match the charger to what your car can actually accept. Buying a 22 kW unit for a Cooper SE that only takes 11 kW AC is money spent on kilowatts you'll never use. This recommendation gets you charged overnight without overspending.
- Matches the Cooper SE's 11 kW onboard AC rate
- Type 2 / CCS2 socket, native to the Mini
- Backed by our 10-year installation warranty
