You thought A Mini Cooper Se was perfect! you were almost right... Here's what you need!
With the Mini Cooper SE becomming a VERY popular choice for many folks, it was inevitible that we would be asked to develop a few of our goodies for that as well. And here they are!!!! Introducing the MiniPort, ChargeSleeve, MiniPhone, and MiniScreen. Protect your charge port and charging head from winter's snow and ice. Protect your AC condenser from rocks that can get through the grill and damage things in there. Put your cell phone where it is useable and doesn't block. These are all now ready and available to everyone.
Introducing the MiniPort and ChargeSleeve
In response to the mounting concern over ice and snow build up in the charge port of many EVs and PHEVs , I summoned all of the elves in the VoltShop and put their little brains to work. And work they did! For all the frustrations they give us with some things, they absolutely outdid themselves on this little gizmo. Elves being elves, as soon as I asked them if we should make one for the Mini Cooper SE, they were all over it!! So here it is! Keep winter where out of your charge port. No more snow and ice in there to make a mess and make it hard to close the charge port door. No more cleaning it out with your fingers. And no more frozen stuck J1772 plugs in your charge port. We call this the MiniPort.
Our MiniPort charge port covers are now available for all years of the Mini Cooper Se. They are in stock and ready to ship. A black color cover just blends right in with the charge port and no one really knows it is there, silently protection your car. I can make them in red by special request. We have found that the other colors show dirt quite quickly.
The MiniPort is made of foam, so it won't hurt your car's finish. It is stiff enough to stay on place in all kinds of weather, but soft and flexible enough to easily install in seconds. It is pinned in place by the J1722 charge handle and the latching button for the port door. Rain, snow. and ice will not be able to get in there and give you fits about the mess. It releases with the charging head when you unplug the car and can be left right on there when you aren't charging. These are $10, including shipping within the Continental US. See below for complete ordering informaton
Our ChargeSleeve protects your J772 charging plug from snow and ice all winter long. Have you ever had that ice up so you can't uplugh the car in the morning? Not a good thing. This is a neoprene sleeve that slips right over the charging head and keeps the snow and ice from being a problem. Once in place, you can plug in and un plug with the ChargeSleeve on. And it can stay there all winter, ready when you need it. Like so many of our solutions, this is a simple, easy to install, easy to use, no fuss solution. ChargeSleeves are $20 separately, including shipping within in the Continental US. And to make it fun for MiniFolks, ChargeSleeves are available in 4 colors, Basic Black, Grounded Gray, Electric Blue, and Shocking Pink. (Get it??) And because we believe that everyone needs a MiniPort and ChargeSleeve, we are packaging them together for $25, including shipping, a nice little savings on the pair.

NEW !! Here is The MiniPhone
So, let's see.... You like your cell phone. You want it handy and visible while you are driving. You want to be able ot use it hands free. You don't want it to block off a heater duct. You don't want it to block anything on the dash or your view out of the car. And you don't want to put any adhesive pads or suction cups on your dash or window. Not much out there that does all of that!!! So what do we do around here when we can't find something that does what we want?? We make it ourselves!!!! We have sold thousands of our VoltPhones and RAV4Phones over the years, folks rave about how simple and handy they are. So when the Mini presented the same kind of challenge about where to put a cell phone, we got right to work.
And here it is, the MiniPhone!! Put the phone at your fingertips, but not in the way. Don't block you view. Make it easy to mount and dismount with a magnetic mount. Install it in seconds. Make it easy for a passenger to use for their phone. No screws, no adhesive pads to ruin your dash, no suction cups.... Just like your Mini, what's not to love??? (This is so new, we only have a few pictures to share for right now, more pics will be along soon! )
The MiniPhone fits all current Mini Cooper 2 and 4 door models including the SE, JCW, and convertible. It is does not fit the Countryman or Clubman, but we are working on a version for these. Please let us know if you have a Countryman or Clubman and are interested so we can let you know as soon as it is ready.

Introducing the MIniScreen! Protection for your AC Condenser
Just like many cars these days, the grill on a Mini Cooper SE will allow pretty big stones and debris to pass through and have a free shot at your AC condenser if the areo shutters are open. The inconvience of getting that fixed isn't worth taking a chance on it. And when you get the bill for this repair??? Yeah, it is $1000+. And before you go thinking that it would be covered by your new car warranty, forget that idea. It isn't. The MiniScreen covers the grill protecting your car and hides in the shadows. Once installed, you will forget it is there, but it will keep on doing its job. It is quickly and easily installed with plastic ties and removable at any time. Because it is on the outside of the grill, it will not trap leaves or other debris in any recesses and is easily hosed off if it becomes dirty.
Each MiniScreen is made from a strong metal mesh with 1/4" holes to keep larger stones and debris from getting to the radiator and doing the damage. It is powder coated for a good looking finish, then trimmed with plastic edging. It looks great and is hardly noticeable once installed. Becuase it hides the very noticeable AC condenser behind it a bit, many folks think it iimproves the look of the car.
