Mercedes-Benz EQC vs Mini Countryman Electric

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Mini Countryman Electric has the higher published DC charging figure at 130 kW, which is roughly 16% higher than the Mercedes-Benz EQC at 112 kW. In practice, that figure 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 published fast-charge window, the Mini Countryman Electric is listed at about 29 minutes, which is 7 minutes quicker than the Mercedes-Benz EQC at 36 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 51 km more than the Mercedes-Benz EQC at approximately 411 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 223 Wh/km for the Mercedes-Benz EQC. 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 Mercedes-Benz EQC has approximately 80 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Mini Countryman Electric has the higher published DC figure (up to 130 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 29 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

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 51 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
