There are now two ways you can get Charge Anytime:

You must have an eligible EV or Smart Charger, we’re constantly looking into ways to broaden eligibility of this product so if your technology isn’t currently on this list keep an eye on our page for updates!

Hi @funcarblur and welcome to this customer forum. Not sure if you’ve looked at the list here yet

There does seem to be a fast moving list of chargers and vehicles at present so it’s worth going through everything in a bit of detail

If it’s a Mini Cooper SE, Mini Cooper SE ALL4, or a Mini Countryman Hybrid then yup! You’re good.

Thank you blastoise186 for the reply. I am still a bit confused as the mini level 3 electric is not called an SE model, but cooper s electric (could that be cooper SE?) I am assuming as it is a 2021 model it should have the latest connectivity needed. Any input? Thanks

It seems fine to me. The levels thing (Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3) appears to relate more to trim level than anything else, so that’s not going to affect compatibility.

Younger correct about the trim, so I will try the charge and see how I get on. Thank you very much for your quick responses and wisdom.

Mini sometimes use SE. The E stands for electric. There is no Cooper S in the electric range. 

Although if you actually look at the rear i see the logo is Cooper S just to confuse people.

Having also read a bunch of rescue related resources and watched a bunch of rescue instruction videos from various EV manufacturers last night (they’re intended for firefighters but anyone can find them!) it seems that the E thing is commonly used across a lot of manufacturers to help make it more obvious that the vehicle is an EV of some kind to help rescue personnel tell it apart from other vehicle types.

Volkswagen has some pretty good examples of this at https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/owners-and-services/my-car/important-information/rescue-data-sheets.html

Tesla is an exception though. But then again, it’s pretty easy to tell that a Tesla is an EV because they only do EV’s and have never done anything else.

Yeah… I know too many firefighters and fire stations...
