On the 2023 Mini Cooper, the battery is located in the rear trunk, so if it is necessary to proceed with charging using a booster, we must use the connectors located inside the front hood. These are positioned in such a way that they can be used very easily, without having to access the battery, which is located under the trunk floor, in an inconvenient position for this use. We then lift the front hood: on the right side - looking at the car from the front, we find a large, very obvious red cap: below that is the positive pole; on the right, next to the grille at the base of the windshield, we find a metal bar that is instead the negative pole.
