Hi, Can you recommend a good source to get the charging curve (SoC versus time, or power delivered versus time) for the 2022 Mini Coope SE? Thanks!!!
This InsideEVs article shows the DC fast charge curve for the SE. And EVcompare.io has a web-based calculator, which allows you to configure different AC charging scenarios to estimate charging time.
Thanks for the info!!! Even so, I was more looking into DC charging side of the equation, as a prediction of charging times on a road trip.
That’s exactly what the graph is showing. In an ideal world, you would DC charge when the battery is at 40% and you would stop charging at 80%. However, the areas of the US where CCS chargers are that close together are likely still rare. Someday! Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
As I recall, charging from 40% to 80% takes me about 15 min. I’ll put a stopwatch on it next time for a real world time. Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
I have this plot downloaded to my phone and favorited. I pull it up every time I travel! Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
I charge using CCS quite regularly and noticed that it doesn’t seem to slow the charge rate until >85%. That being said, I’ve not watched the charge rate meter on the CCS charger as it goes.
I plugged in to a DC fast charger in 72degF weather iirc after driving 115 miles. I don't have a chart drawn and just spot checked the percentage every now and then by screen shoting the EA app but hopeful this is some help: At 15% it started at 42kW (starting time) At 19% it was at 42kW (~4 mins in) At 29% it was at 44kW (~6 mins in) at 34% it was at 44kW (~7.5 mins in) At 38% it was at 44kW (~10 mins in) At 43% it was at 44kW (~11.5 mins in) At 48% it was was at 45kW (~14 mins in) At 76% it was at 49kW (~25.5 mins in) At 81% it was at 37kW (~27.5 mins in) At 96% it was at 10kW (~44 mins in) I would estimate that 10% to 80% is 30-32 minutes And 80% to 100% is probably another 20-23 minutes. I did not activate comfort cooling for the cabin until I was at that 81% mark as I didn't want to reduce the charging power to the battery. The charge curve shown in the InsideEV's article shows slower rates of charge below about 30% than what I saw which suggests to me their battery was colder than mine.
I charge only in my garage on L2 bc I’m driving only 3000 miles a year but what you show is really excellent how DC charging works
