MG ZS EV Standard Range

Pricing

The MG ZS EV Standard Range has an On The Road Price (OTR) of £28,995. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery. The MG ZS EV Standard Range is eligible for a Plug-In Car Grant (PICG) of £1,500. The grant will be applied to the invoice of the car. The OTR Price including the PICG for the MG ZS EV Standard Range is £27,495.

Drivetrain and Performance

The MG ZS EV Standard Range is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the MG ZS EV Standard Range is 130 kW (174 hp). The maximum torque is 207 lb-ft. The MG ZS EV Standard Range is front wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 8.6 seconds. The top speed is 109 mph.

Battery and Charging

The battery of the MG ZS EV Standard Range has a total capacity of 51.1 kWh. The usable capacity is 49 kWh. An estimated range of about 165 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.

For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 115 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 250 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 7.4 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 8 hours. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 25 hours 15 minutes.

Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 75 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 50 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 45 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 115 miles of range.

Energy Consumption

The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the MG ZS EV Standard Range is about 297 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 136 mpg in a traditional petrol car.

The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 426 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 196 Wh per mile.

CO2 Emission

The MG ZS EV Standard Range emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
