Charging Speed
The Mini Countryman Electric has a peak DC charging speed of 130 kW, which is roughly 2% faster than the BMW iX1 at 128 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Mini Countryman Electric finishes in about 29 minutes, which is 4 minutes quicker than the BMW iX1 at 33 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Mini Countryman Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 462 km, which is roughly 22 km more than the BMW iX1 at approximately 440 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Mini Countryman Electric consumes 163 Wh/km, compared to 170 Wh/km for the BMW iX1. That means the Mini Countryman Electric uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Mini Countryman Electric has approximately 65.2 kWh of useable battery , while the BMW iX1 has approximately 64.7 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging speed is your priority, the Mini Countryman Electric wins on both peak power (up to 130 kW) and time at the plug (approximately 29 minutes from 10-80%). For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Mini Countryman Electric is the more efficient choice at 163 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Mini Countryman Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 462 km, which is roughly 22 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
