Have you set a charging limit on the mini or are you charging it to 100% each time?

I think the Mini use older NMC battery technology (rather than LFP) and it's better (for the long term health of the battery) to charge to 80% most of the time and only 100% if you're going on a long journey straight away.

Just adjust the percentage you ask for according to the ratio of the battery sizes.

Ignoring it and asking for more than you need results in sub-optimal allocation of charging slots by IOG and will raise a red flag at the Octopus end if you are always ending planned charge sessions early.

. I do struggle with how suppliers expect households with more then one car to effectively use the charging hardware,

I'm on IOG (which is not a single car tariff, unless you pay the £30 for unlimited charging) We have 2 cars & OHME (linked to IOG, not car) app allows you to select each car, so it knows the battery size & charges as required.
