Hi all,
I have just joined forum so please be patient with me if below has been repeated many times?!!
I purchased my new MG at the end of July having looked around the market for my first EV within my budget.
Although I'm fairly happy with my new purchase, I am massively disappointed at the range i am getting based upon what is suggested one could achieve in mileage on this module.
Though never expected to get the 205 miles that they advertise is possible to achieve, i would expect to get somewhere as close to 190 miles with the following scenario: Just completed full charge - turn on ignition (or look on my App) and the battery shows 100% charged with average164 mile range, that's really disappointing!
When i first purchased it showed 194 miles of range so why would i have lost around 30 miles of battery capacity and in such a short time
???
I do appreciate that as the colder weather arrives the range is not so good but with everything turned off IE the battery not being drained why would the advertised range drop so bad???
For the record i do not do many miles (average 10 per day most week days and around 60 at weekends) i drive mainly in economy mode, and usually recharge with my home wall charger when around 20-25% of charge left.
I did nearly before this purchase, buy the older model but was put off by the 160 top range but seems like i am not much better off, nor is my bank balance for buying something new with same range!!!
I know they have a long range version for around 5k dearer, but knew around 200 miles would do perfectly well for my needs.
Any help or feedback would be most welcome guys,
many thanks
Kevin
