The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

[MickeySw]

I have a Trophy with the 17inch wheels. Best I’ve got is 4.1 in the summer.

Wish it had the option to go 16inch but retain all the other Trophy features.

Same here, was (briefly) considering buying a 16” set and selling the bigger ones but one would need to do an awful lot of driving before you get a real benefit..

End of month time again
Quite surprised by the improvement over last month. March has been uncharacteristically mild and you can really see the difference.

 

[MickeySw]

This months figures certainly confirm the ‘driver factor’ when it comes to consumption, all mileage done by the missus who drives it like an ICE car

My March figure has improved but I was hoping for a 4

I've taken to driving mine like I stole it so I don't even get figures as good as that but because all of my charging this month was at home it was still under 6p per mile.

A better (warmer) month

Fighting its way up again

I think yesterday highlighted the effect of weather conditions . On a 30 mile morning round trip , a nice dry Spring day , temperature about 12°C my consumption was about 5.4 miles per kWh.
In the evening Springter returned . A 30 mile round trip , temperature about 7°C, p133ing it down barely achieved 4.1 miles per kWh.

I went to South Wales Monday. Mild and dry (mostly), constant 65mph and got 4.2, charging on Tesla. Yay!
Yesterday, cold and very wet, standing water everywhere and strong headwind. Same speed, got 3.3. Not so yay.

Must have been in the morning then because the South Wales weather late afternoon was absolutely crap

...250 miles yesterday, mostly at mway speeds and returned 3.8miles /kWh.

Obviously gettting warmer...

 

[Verdigris]

I just did the 15 mile round trip to the shops in sport mode, in anticipation of negative electricity prices tomorrow, and was slightly disappointed to find that I still managed to turn in 4.4mi/kWh. I've got roof bars on at the moment, too.

Did a return journey yesterday. ~140miles ~90%motorway each way. 100 down to 30% on the way down. Charged to 85% for return (nice to hit peak of 71kW in the warmer weather) and expecting to use 70% on the way back. Got home with a little bit of range anxiety at 6% having used 79%

 

[Verdigris]

I went for a 65 mile blat round the mountains, on Friday evening, to make room for the paid-to-use electricity on Agile yesterday, in sport mode and with enthusiasm and was mildly "disappointed" to still achieve over 3.5mi/kWh. Still, I earned over a quid filling it up again.

How's this for a 2021 MG5 Exclusive?

Pic taken September 2023. Now, in Glasgow during winter/spring, it's more like 2 miles per kWh for short trips on a daily basis!

Last day of the month already.
Here's the info for April:

Still showing a trend of improvement year on year.

Here is my figure for April '24

It's coming home

Spring is coming…
