Just at my 1 year of ownership so thought I would post some stats:

Total miles: 6003
Total energy costs: £447.07
Cost per mile: £0.07

Total energy used 2181.23kW

Best GOM estimate: 238 miles
Worst GOM estimate: 181 miles

Best efficiency: 3.6 miles/kWh
Worst efficiency: 2.2 miles/kWh

Number of charging sessions
AC (slow): 110
DC (fast): 25
100%: 15
 
Huh! I didn’t think I was “high mileage” as I know sales reps that put in 40-60k/year.
I reckon I’m around 20 on average. Less since Covid but I’d bet more with the cheaper miles in EV.

Anyway. Sorry I wasn’t meaning to derail the thread.
@Anon70 how're you tracking the data?
Are you pleased with the results so far?

Is that normal for the MG4, the efficiency of the MG5, at least mine has been averaging 4.2 in the summer and 3.6 in the winter. As the 4 is designed as an EV I would have expected it to be more efficient, not less.
I had been considering upgrading from the 5 to a 4 next year.

This is the XPower version don’t forget. It’s a little heftier on the kWs.

Yup, only 6003 miles, my lease is contracted for 8,000 a year

And yes that is the efficiency I am seeing, which for a sub 4s 0-60 car, with 4 wheel drive I am ok with. (not seen real life figures for similar performance from other manufacturers).

As for the number of charging sessions a round trip from Scotland to Leicester will be a 100% charge at home, 2 Tesla super chargers on the way down and a DC top up to 100% at my destination. Then the return trip is the 2 super chargers again and a top up once home. So 7 charging sessions for a single trip.Outside of that might only have 1 or 2 AC sessions in a month

Data is tracked in an Excel sheet entering the cars stats and any charging station stats to compare

Should probably mention the efficiency stats are best/worst between charges. On warm days and short trips I have seen readings between 4 and 5 miles/kWh indicated, but these are one off trips so the stats tend to average things out.
 
So an average of 2.75 miles per kWh. I'm genuinely interested how that compares to a LR or even SE SR over a year (i.e. to cater for all weather conditions) in part of my decision of which model to go for. Has anyone else got similar stats?
 
I recorded results from late Nov-22 until early Dec-23 (and then got bored and gave up). My average calculated consumption was 2.91 mpkWh in my SE SR. 5039 miles covered and 1730 kWh stored into the car. (1954 kWh drawn from the supplies, so an average charging efficiency of about 87%. Most charges were from my Wallbox, but a number were also DC rapids and also "granny" charges).
 
Fascinating... both lower than I was anticipating, sadly. So with the SR we're looking at an average range of just less than 150 miles, and that's taking it down to zero % SOC :eek:
 
Which is just fine for me ... I'm ready for a break before the car is ready for a charge. :)

I'm about same, but no home charger, unfortunately.

It really depends on your own driving circumstances over the year. I do a fair bit of motorway driving and don't hang about 😉, so 2.75mls/kWh is about what I get on these journeys. However when I travel on 50mph and 60mph roads I can get more like 3.25 to 3.5. I've done 9000 miles in 14 months for comparison.
