MG MG5 EV Long Range

Pricing

The MG MG5 EV Long Range has an On The Road Price (OTR) of £30,995. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.

Drivetrain and Performance

The MG MG5 EV Long Range is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the MG MG5 EV Long Range is 115 kW (154 hp). The maximum torque is 207 lb-ft. The MG MG5 EV Long Range is front wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 7.7 seconds. The top speed is 115 mph.

Battery and Charging

The battery of the MG MG5 EV Long Range has a total capacity of 61.1 kWh. The usable capacity is 57.4 kWh. A range of about 205 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 145 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 310 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 6 hours 15 minutes. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 9 hours 15 minutes and a charge rate of 22 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 29 hours 30 minutes.

Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 87 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 60 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 45 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 140 miles of range.

Energy Consumption

The combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the MG MG5 EV Long Range is about 280 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 145 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 396 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 185 Wh per mile.

CO2 Emission

The MG MG5 EV Long 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.
