Range & MPG (Advice Please)

[WAC 768]

I am considering buying a 2023 HS but am unsure what the combined range (miles) would be on a motorway at 70 mph starting with a full battery (not in EV mode) before this is depleted and running, then on the engine alone. Plus, what MPG is achievable at this speed for both instances?

Around town, most of you run the car in EV-only mode or just let the car decide to obtain the best MPG.

Hi,
I'm new to the group, in Australia.
I get just over 60km on a full battery charge, EV only.
Great for me to get to work and back. I have great solar so try and charge during the day for $0.00.
On Hybrid I get about 520km, and I have to say, not much difference if I put in 95 or 98 RON that I have noticed.

Many thanks, and this is very helpful

Hello WAC 768,
I drive the 2023 MG HS PHEV (we call it MG HS + EV) in Sydney, Australia.
For long runs you should see this ....
Long Distances on MOTORWAYS in hybrid (“auto”) mode.

• Average speed travelled 105 km per hr. (65 mph).
• The 16.6 kWh battery depletes @2.1 kWh per 100 km of travel (2.1 kWh for every 62 miles travelled).
• The full battery charge starts at 62-63 km reading (for EV only driving), drops by 1 for every 13 km, to drop down to 2-3 km reading after about 780 km (485 miles) of travel in hybrid (“auto”) mode. So, the fully charged 16.6 kWh battery is almost fully consumed after about 780 km (485 miles) of travel on MOTORWAYS in hybrid mode. Seems ok for you to complete a full 700 km (435 miles) journey and still have some charge left in the 16.6 kWh battery.
• The petrol consumption on this long motorway drive in hybrid (“auto”) mode is around 6 L per 100 km of travel (47 MPG - UK).

Long Distances on URBAN ‘B’ roads in hybrid (“auto”) mode.

• Average speed travelled 37 km per hour (23 mph)
• The 16.6 kWh battery depletes @6.5 kWh per 100 km of travel (6.5 kWh for every 62 miles travelled).
• The full battery charge starts at 62-63 km reading (for EV only driving), drops by 1 for every 4 km travelled, to drop down to 2-3 km reading after about 245 km (152 miles) of travel in hybrid (“auto”) mode. The fully charged 16.6 kWh battery (if not recharged), would be almost fully consumed after about 245 km (152 miles) of travel on URBAN ‘B’ roads in hybrid mode.
• The petrol consumption on these longer drives on Urban ‘B’ roads is around 5.5 L per 100 km (51 MPG - UK). A lot of the low speeds, slowdowns, traffic lights, round abouts etc is done on the HV battery, with little petrol use.

Here is an Annual Example below: giving (hypothetical) results over a year.

• 6 long distance round trips from Wakefield = 1300 km x 6 = 7800 km (4847 miles). 6 x 78 L = 468 L of petrol. That is 6 L per 100 km (47 MPG - UK).
• 330 local round trips in hometown, and around hometown, each trip less than 62 km ( 38 miles) = ZERO litres of petrol (all done on EV only). Distance travelled : say 330 trips x 40 km average = 13200 km (8202 miles).

Total annual distance 7800 + 13200 = 21,000 km (13,049 miles).
Total Petrol consumed = 468 L = 103 UK gallons.
Annual consumption averages 2.2 L per 100 km or 128 MPG (UK).

Hope that is helpful.

Hi Magicstuff99,

You noted that on "hybrid (auto) I get 520 km. I assume you mean the 16.6 kWh battery goes close to zero charge after 520 km on a combination of urban roads and open roads.

My figures suggest :

On Motorways / Freeways

• The 16.6 kWh battery depletes @2.1 kWh per 100 km of travel (2.1 kWh for every 62 miles travelled).
• The full battery charge starts at 62-63 km reading (for EV only driving), drops by 1 for every 13 km, to drop down to 2-3 km reading after about 780 km (485 miles) of travel in hybrid (“auto”) mode. So, the fully charged 16.6 kWh battery is almost fully consumed after about 780 km (485 miles) of travel on MOTORWAYS in hybrid mode.
• Average travel speed : 105 kph = 65 mph.

On Urban roads

• The 16.6 kWh battery depletes @6.5 kWh per 100 km of travel (6.5 kWh for every 62 miles travelled).
• The full battery charge starts at 62-63 km reading (for EV only driving), drops by 1 for every 4 km travelled, to drop down to 2-3 km reading after about 245 km (152 miles) of travel in hybrid (“auto”) mode. The fully charged 16.6 kWh battery (if not recharged), would be almost fully consumed after about 245 km (152 miles) of travel on URBAN ‘B’ roads in hybrid mode.
• Average travel speed : 37 kph = 23 mph.
