Mk2/Facelift MG ZS EV SR - actual maximum rapid charging speed achieved?

[Peter WA]

Hi everyone!

I wonder: what is the actual maximum charging speed in kW anyone has seen at an ultra rapid charger (100kW+) for the standard range facelift (Mk2) ZS EV?

Reason to ask: this detail is not mentioned in the PDF brochure available on the MG Australia website, I didn't find it on the UK website either. We only get the SR in Australia for now, so that's the only version I care about. I've heard various claims, ranging from people who just received their new car, claiming that they can only charge at less than 50kW, to motor journalists quoting 80kW based on what MG told them, to a dealer saying 100kW.

I realise that charging rates depend on lots of factors, mostly SOC and temperature, just wondering what people here have experienced in the best case. For reference, with my Mk1 ZS EV that I currently drive, I've personally seen up to 67kW, even though only for a limited time. I would be rather disappointed of the Mk2 I've got on order doesn't at least match that.

I've tried searching whether that info is already here, no luck. Feel free to point me towards threads I might have missed.

The listed Fastcharge power on DC for the SR (mine) is 75KW, providing you are using a suitable high power DC charger. Ive never charged at anything greater than a 50kw charger, so can't confirm if that's a real world figure.

LR is up to 94 kW on a suitable charger with suitable conditions. Some real world numbers here.
The SR will not be as fast; so 75 kW is more realistic as mentioned by Pauli363.
