Why do I get the message "Charging power reduced. Extended charging time" appear in my fully electric MINI Countryman (2023)?

In rare cases, your fully electric MINI Countryman (2023) will inform you in the central instrument ("MINI Interaction Unit") about a reduced charging power on long journeys with frequent DC charging. The message gives the impression that DC charging is severely restricted or unavailable for a period of time. This interpretation of the message is not correct. DC charging is available for your vehicle without interruption and to the usual extent on long journeys with frequent charging stops. Please note: The charging power of your fully electric MINI Countryman (2023) is influenced by the state of charge, the age and temperature of the high-voltage battery, the charging power or current strength or whether the climate control is activated. Use the battery heat management for upcoming charging stops. The battery heat management for optimised DC charging starts automatically when a DC charging station is entered as the navigation destination or by activating it in the "Charging" menu.
