Seat Mii EV Charging Cable
Quick recommendation
The Seat Mii electric wants a 32A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Its onboard charger accepts 7.2 kW, and a 16A cable can only hand it 3.7 kW, so the cheaper lead would leave half the car's ability unused every night.
There is only one electric Mii and it ran from 2020 to 2021, so there is no generation puzzle to solve here. The pack is 36.8 kWh gross with 32.3 kWh usable, and on a 32A cable a full charge takes about five hours. Seat quoted roughly four hours to 80 per cent, which is the figure most owners actually plan around, since few people run a battery flat before plugging in.
What does confuse buyers is that this car was built three times over. The Volkswagen e-up! and the Skoda Citigo-e iV came off the same line with the same 32.3 kWh usable battery and the same 7.2 kW charger. If you own any of the three, this cable is the one you need. One detail differs between them, though it has no bearing on your purchase: CCS rapid charging was standard on the Mii electric and the e-up!, but not fitted to every Citigo-e iV, so some Skodas have none at all. Rapid charging happens on DC through a separate part of the inlet, using a lead attached to the charge point.
We also stock a three phase 22 kW version of the cable. On this car it does nothing. The Mii is quoted at 7.2 kW and will not ask for more, and a UK domestic supply is single phase anyway, which puts a hard 7.4 kW ceiling on home charging. Save the money and take the 32A single phase cable.
A 3 pin cable is worth keeping in the boot for nights away from a charge point. At 2.3 kW it needs somewhere near sixteen hours to fill the battery from empty, so it is a supplement rather than a substitute for a proper wallbox lead.
The petrol Mii, the 1.0 MPI sold from 2011 to 2019, has no charging port and takes no cable at all. If your Mii has an exhaust pipe, nothing on this page applies to it.
Seat Mii Charging Times
Seat Mii electric, 2020 to 2021, 32.3 kWh usable
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin: 5m or 10m | 2.3 kW | 15h45m | Keep as a spare, not a daily method |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 16A: 5m or 10m | 3.7 kW | 10h00m | Holds the car to half its charging speed |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A: 5m or 10m | 7.2 kW, the car's own limit | 5h00m. About 4 hours to 80 per cent | Best fit |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase: 5m or 10m | 22 kW cable, car still takes 7.2 kW | 5h00m, no quicker | No benefit on the Mii |
Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and Type 2 to 3 Pin cables are IP67. The 32A single phase cable is also stocked in 15m and 20m. All are CE certified and come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm.
Seat Mii Charging Cable FAQs
Which cable does the Seat Mii electric need?
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable in the 32A version. The Mii electric takes 7.2 kW on AC and holds 32.3 kWh usable, so a 32A lead fills it from empty in about five hours. Seat also quoted around four hours to 80 per cent, which covers most overnight charges comfortably.
Is the 32A cable better than the 16A?
Yes, clearly. A 16A cable supplies 3.7 kW, roughly half of the 7.2 kW the Mii will accept, so a full charge stretches from about five hours to ten. The price difference is small next to five hours a night. Only pick 16A if your charge point cannot supply more.
Does the 22 kW three phase cable help?
No. The Mii electric is limited to 7.2 kW by its own onboard charger, so a three phase cable gives it nothing extra even at a three phase post. Homes in Britain are single phase and cap charging at 7.4 kW regardless. The 32A single phase cable already reaches the car's limit.
Will this cable fit an e-up! or a Citigo-e iV?
Yes. The Volkswagen e-up! and Skoda Citigo-e iV are the same car as the Mii electric, sharing the 32.3 kWh usable pack, the Type 2 socket and the 7.2 kW charger. One cable serves all three. Only the fitment of CCS rapid charging differs, and that does not affect your AC cable.
Does the petrol Seat Mii plug in?
No. The 1.0 MPI petrol Mii built between 2011 and 2019 has no battery pack and no charging port, so no cable will connect to it. Seat only made the Mii electric from 2020. If your car has a fuel filler and no charge flap, it needs nothing from this page.
Is 5m long enough for a Mii?
Usually. The Mii is a short car, so 5m reaches most home wallboxes when it parks alongside. Choose 10m if you charge on the street, back into a space, or use a shared post several bays away. Longer 15m and 20m versions of the 32A cable are stocked too.
