Can anybody tell me why my mgev4 now only reaches 186 miles when fully charged when it was 215 its only 8 weeks old
Many thanks
Many thanks
Cheers I will try thatReset your trip computers and turn heating system off, put in eco mode and you will get a better GOM. It adjusts to your previous driving if you don't reset.
Possibly wearing a heavier winter boot and just enjoying the car more?Cheers I will try that
It will be better (higher), but less realistic, if that's what you want?Cheers I will try that
Hi, do you do a lot of rapid DC charging? You may need to balance the battery cells on a AC type2 EVSE.Can anybody tell me why my mgev4 now only reaches 186 miles when fully charged when it was 215 its only 8 weeks old

Aye, my i3 gives me around 146 miles in the warmer weather, in wintertime it's nearer 110 miles.I have noticed my range going down again @johnb80 ? but I live in Scotland ??????? where it’s much colder & wetter ?? bye bye ?? longer range for 6 months ?
@Jomarkh Thank you for the great advice ???Hi, do you do a lot of rapid DC charging? You may need to balance the battery cells on a AC type2 EVSE.
As above reset the trip counters, turn everything off, fan and heater then turn on into eco mode. Hopefully the figure will be nearer the factory GOM.
@johnb80 They don’t tell you this at the dealers which would be helpful wouldn’t it ? , I love being able to ask fellow MG EV owners their advice , everyone is so helpful to each other ?Aye, my i3 gives me around 146 miles in the warmer weather, in wintertime it's nearer 110 miles.
Surely thats what the GOM is doing for you but basing it on your previous driving. I find it works really well on both my i3 and our MG5.Do NOT go by the GOM.
Reset your long range after a charge. Check your long range after 50% of use. If you are averaging 3.6 mi/KW then you know you have 180 miles of range, per charge.
I can't help but think that constant rapid DC charging is unhealthy for the longevity of the battery. I have used it a few times on long trips, but 95% of my charging is at home on 7kw AC. I generally get reported 260-270 miles in summer, dropping to 209-240 miles in winter. I never drive in eco mode.Hi, do you do a lot of rapid DC charging?
