Gave the MG4 Trophy a range test. Did a round trip to Stansted Airport and achieved 4.4 miles per kWh outward and 4.2 return, left home with 100%, arrived at Stansted (108 miles) with 63% 164 miles on the GOM, got back home with 18% and 48 miles remaining.
218 miles on the A3, M25, M11 so thats 266 miles possible range (4 hours 28 mins drive time). Outward trip was 15-17°, heavy traffic with speeds between 40-65 mph, return trip start at 23.30 so dark and between 7-9°. I drove between 55-65mph on the return leg to maintain the good mile per kWh figure. Some old school hyper-mile’n to keep the energy use below 20% on the gauge by reducing speed uphill, a steady 55-60 mph on the flat, increasing speed downhill and coasting in neutral on longer downhill sections kept my average speed up overall (Normal mode, Regen 3,28psi 2.8 bar warm tyre)
Happy with that and coupled with 140kw charge speeds seen when under 30% all my usual 250 plus mile trips take no longer than any ice vehicle, I’m usually stopping for a comfort break at 3ish hours (175 miles) so a top up then takes as long as it takes me to grab a coffee and a toilet break and if needed I can continue as plenty of electrons in reserve.
