EV charging for Mini in the Philippines
Mini brings electric motoring to the Philippines with the Cooper SE, a fun compact hatchback well suited to city driving. It charges on Type 2 for AC and CCS2 for DC fast charging — the standard Philippine combination — so a home wall-box covers overnight charging while public DC stations handle quick top-ups.
What connector does a Mini use?
Mini models in the Philippines (Cooper SE) use these plugs:
Type2 (AC)
the standard AC plug for everyday and overnight charging — what most home and mall wall-boxes in the Philippines use.
CCS2 (DC)
the DC fast-charging standard for the Philippines, found at most public fast chargers for quick top-ups on the road.
Where to charge your Mini
With Type2 (AC) + CCS2 (DC), your Mini can charge almost anywhere EVs charge in the Philippines — at home, while you shop, and on the road. EVChargePH lets you see live availability and reserve a slot before you drive.
At home
Plug into a Type 2 wall-box overnight at the ~₱11–₱13/kWh home rate — the cheapest and most convenient way to charge.

Top up while you shop, dine or work. Many Metro Manila and Cebu mall garages now host EV chargers.
On the road
Use public DC fast chargers along major routes for a quick top-up on longer drives across the country.
