Mine is a 2024 Trophy standard range. On MG website it says range 198 miles (279 miles in slow moving traffic-yeah, sure) and most info says that in winter that can typically degrade by 10-20%. I go to my office about once a week which is 62 miles away, so should comfortably get there and back only charging at home. How wrong I was! I drive like a granny and use ECO mode, pootling at 60 or less on motorways and dual carriageways and at least half the journey is in a 30 limit. Even in the height of Summer, when the charge was 100% and it was telling me I had 160 miles range I was having to stop to give a boost because I wouldn't make it home. The declared mileage at the start is always a lie; I would get more like 130 miles when the estimated was 160+, a number of times arriving home with <10 miles range. In Autumn, and now Winter I typically have to spend my lunchtime popping out to boost the charge by 20%+, which costs twice as much as 100% charge at home, and so with the home charge on top it costs more than when I used my diesel car (Honda Civic 1.6DTEC, 72mpg typically). The photo shows what the car is telling me - 123miles on 100% charge, yet I know I won't get 123miles, probably not much more than 100. And to re-iterate I don't accelerate hard, or dive fast; even lorries whizz past me on the dual carriageways and motorways it's like driving Miss Daisy. I really regret buying this car - anyone want a Jan 2024 ZS EV Trophy Connect for a good price?

. It's normal, that is just guessing how much you will achieve based on your recent drive/usage, so if you are driving with the heater on, that will show as less range next time but of course if you don't use the heating next time, you will actually have longer range ... and so on until warmer days
