My first range-stretch trip!

[Simon853]

Today I did a 230 mile round trip in my Trophy starting around 6AM when it was about 8 degrees C, getting up to about 20C. I'd set battery heating to start at 5AM and charged it to 100% overnight.

About half the distance was dual-carriageway or motorways where I stuck at a leisurely 62 or 68 respectively where possible. The rest was rural cross-country doing more like 40-50. Only minor elevation changes as I crossed the South Downs (England) and back.

Got home with 13% left, giving me an estimated range to 0 of 264 miles. Got to say, I'm pretty impressed by that! Only a handful below the 271 it estimated before I left.

The improving temperatures are making a noticable difference to range. Gets even better in the summer, you may even exceed the maximum MG quote.

I think I would have exceeded it, if it weren't for me driving it in a bit more of a "spirited fashion" once it was clear I had more than enough juice to get the last 40 miles of motorway home.

Is yours the 77 size battery over there?

That's the Trophy ER ... Trophy LR (per @Simon853's profile) has the 64 kWh battery.

Very excited to give mine the full “what max range” treatment. Just picked it up last Monday so only had it a week, but it is estimating between 250-260 miles.

This is a rather optimistic range. We drove from Nottingham to Worcester and back yesterday (168 miles) in an MG4 Trophy (64 kWh) and the SoC dropped from 100% to 29%. = 3.7 miles per kWh, equivalent to a max range of 236 miles. Driving was on motorways but restricted to 50 mph on some stretches due to roadworks and also in heavy showers.

Yeah I mean, I’m realistic and doubt I will get that much, but as I haven’t had a full battery use yet I have to be optimistic! I’ll update when I know.

So I managed to get 216 out of the battery with 27 miles left and 10% battery. So if it is accurate should manage to get 243 out of the full 100%. Doubt I’ll get there, and didn’t really like it going to 10%, but good to know that I can at least get 210 out of it on multiple small trips.
