Residual value MG EHS Phev

[Anton007]

Hello everyone.

I (your Dutch neighbour) am looking for a nice SUV that is a few years old and I came across the MG EHS. A lot of car for a great price.

I have read that a battery pack lasts roughly 200,000 km. Could also be more. Suppose that 200,000 also applies to the MG EHS.
You then buy it with 60,000 km and then sell it after 7 years (20,000 km per year) with 200,000 on the meter.
Isn't this disastrous for the residual value?
How do you see this?

I also read that above and below 10 degrees it simply CANNOT drive 100% electrically. The combustion engine must therefore be turned on, which is a shame as it is often colder than 10 degrees in the Netherlands.

What does this do to consumption? If I have to travel 24km to work, will I still get about 2 to 3 liters per 100km on average? Or is it automatic, because the combustion engine is on, back to 6 liters per 100km? Because if the combustion engine only turns on for the temperature in the car, then I still drive very economically, right?

Thank you for your help and advice.

Greetings
Anton

Hi
I have just replaced my MG HS PHEV which top of the range with leatherette seats with red inserts for a MG ZS EV. I had it 3 years and 4 months and it cost £32.000 and I got £15.000 on part exchange which I think it’s a bit of a drop.
It would do 32 miles on the EV, in the summer could go to work three days just before need to charge it . In the winter you need to run the engine for heat in the car and when the car heats up you can run on EV but as the engine cool water cools down it would cut in, also you would need to charge every second day.

The car can drive 100% electrically if that's what you want but you won't have any cabin heat if you choose to do that. But if you are happy to wear warm clothes and a coat when driving then this might not matter to you for only 24 kms. If you leave the temperature setting on the heater/air con turned to LO with the car in EV mode then the petrol engine won't start automatically. My model has heated front seats and I use those in winter rather than the cabin heater so I can stay in electric mode but it doesn't get as cold here in winter with daytime temps rarely dropping below 12 degrees C.

If it is a cold morning and you wish to travel 24-25km almost entirely on EV .....

-- Set the air temp in the car to 21-22 degrees and let the ICE come on for about the first 3-4 minutes to heat the air temp in the car. Then after 4-5 minutes you may find it allows you to switch to "EV only" after you change the temp setting to around 15-16 degrees.
-- To keep your body warm : 1. keep the seat-heating on during your journey. (The seat heating does not use the ICE.) 2. have a good warm, heavy, pullover which you leave behind in the car.

If I drive in the winter I just use the combustion engine combined with ev.

If I warm up my car with the ice to 25°C and then drive in EV mode , after a couple of km , the windows start to fog up , so I just drive in ICE the whole winter.

I get around 5 - 5.6L/100km in winter time.... Which is still good for this kind of car.

Try setting it to outside air instead of recirculated air. There is also a setting to windscreen with internal car in the heater settings. It defaults to auto.
