MG4 Range

[FiferMG4]

Er.... what on earth happened to the Megane miles/kWh when it was on 18inch wheels? Surely some mistake here?

That’s what I thought. I always hear that having smaller wheels results in greater range, but in this case the larger 20inch wheels went two miles further. ?‍

The image is also wrong ... the mpkWh for the 18" wheel version should be 3.1, same as the 20" version.

Probably been mentioned before but after full charging range shows 223 miles. Have a MG4 SE SR and have been fully charging every week or so when at 40% low. ( Sad sod who doesn’t get out much!). I usually keep charging till low watt shows on smart meter or when scheduled charge auto shuts down. I assumed it would settle back to 218 but have not used it for a day and still at 223. Will these extra miles suddenly disappear when I start driving it. Which I will do today- will update soon on results.

Update on the above:
Did 2 mile journey each way
Reading shows 97% 217 miles left
Output show 3.1 mls/kw
So interesting it’s on dropped 6 miles on a 4 mile trip.No heating and low lights
Info shows same on ismart as well

Its a general guide to range. Its not an exact science

Agreed - just nice to see it’s performing to the norm.

Not charged my SE LR to 100% yet, but doing the math, with the heating on, I’ll be getting 220 miles at the moment.

I do more short trips (school run, shops etc) and I’m lucky to break 3mpkWh as I live in a hilly area.

After coming from a ZS ev where the max I’d get in winter is 130 miles, I’m happy with what I’m getting.

Don't know how long you have had it but a monthly 100% charge with a chance to balance is recommended for the LR (weekly for SR).

I’ve only had it for a few weeks and I’ve not done a long journey in it yet to warrant going to 100%. I’ll definitely charge it to 100 soon though, thanks for the reminder ??

There is a reason that it is called a Guess-o-Meter. On our present Corsa-e it is wildly innacurate!

Your 220 is being generous on the GOM if as you say you are being lucky to break 3mpkwh. If you were getting 3 that's about 184 miles with the 4s 61.4kw usable capacity

In reality it is quite a bit more than a guess o meter because it uses previous data to calculate the figure. It can only be wildly inaccurate if you fundamentally change your driving pattern or style.

It might be an educated guess ... but it's still a guess.

Prediction - an informed guess or opinion.

Can anyone beat this for poor range…?
77%, 95 miles.

... no can't beat that at all - are you keeping it in a large freezer / used it on a track day / live in the mountains / have a caravan ?
