| WLTP range (rated) | ~265 km | ~402 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~160 Wh/km | ~161 Wh/km |
| Max DC charging | up to 50 kW | up to 95 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~36 min | ~30 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 6.6 kW | up to 11 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Mini Cooper SE has a peak DC charging speed of 95 kW, which is roughly 90% faster than the Leapmotor T03 at 50 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 Cooper SE finishes in about 30 minutes, which is 6 minutes quicker than the Leapmotor T03 at 36 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Mini Cooper SE has a WLTP rated range of approximately 402 km, which is roughly 137 km more than the Leapmotor T03 at approximately 265 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 Leapmotor T03 consumes 160 Wh/km, compared to 161 Wh/km for the Mini Cooper SE. That means the Leapmotor T03 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 Cooper SE has approximately 49.2 kWh of useable battery , while the Leapmotor T03 has approximately 36 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging speed is your priority, the Mini Cooper SE wins on both peak power (up to 95 kW) and time at the plug (approximately 30 minutes from 10-80%). For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.
For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Mini Cooper SE supports up to 11 kW, compared to 6.6 kW for the Leapmotor T03. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Leapmotor T03 is the more efficient choice at 160 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Mini Cooper SE has a WLTP rated range of approximately 402 km, which is roughly 137 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.
