The standard MG5 range is rated to last 215 miles on a single charge. Urban/city driving is very economical with over 200 miles being achieved according to our members, but winter figures will be considerably lower. However, temperature (cold) and driving style will affect this. MGZSEV range: it is rated to last 163 on a single charge, which is achievable with economic driving. If you can access a public rapid charger, then you can expect an 80% charge in as little as 35 - 40 minutes, depending on the state of charge (SOC) when you started the charge.

Motorway Service Areas have been totally transformed and the collaboration between Ecotricity and Gridserve has already already lead to a massive improvement with new charge points installed and often in greater numbers than before. The first 2 electric forecourts built and managed by Gridserve, with 35 chargepoints, are open at Braintree in Essex and Norwich. Lamp post charging points are being installed in urban areas and petrol stations are increasingly adding EV Charge points on their forecourts. If you are unable to charge at home, there are over 50,000 charge connectors now available in the UK with around 600 - 800 being added per month as you can see from the image above, provided by Zap-Map. There is a government grant available to subsidise your private installation. Home charge points are available from many companies including Viridian, Pod Point, Rolec, MyEnergi and Ohme. Owning an electric vehicle is a completely different experience from owning an ICE car (internal combustion engine.)
