Yeah - That sounds about right on the money !.After charge and balance all zeroed, car has just shown 164 miles for normal and 182 for econ.
My guess of the extra 20 miles on the GOM when selecting Eco mode was not that far out then

G.O.M. is the word EV owners have come to use when referring to the reading provided in relation to your PREDICTED range.
It's a prediction based on a number of factors, driving style / weather etc etc.
Prediction has been translated by the EV community, into the word GOM - "Guess - O - Meter".
A prediction / guess of what the present state of charge EXPECTS you to achieve in range.
Sorry, but how old is your car and how many miles have you covered ?.
How do you charge the car, at home on a A/C 7kw wall box or the factory provide "Granny" lead.
Do you ever carry out an Rapid charges ?.
From memory ( but I could be wrong here ) a claim against the battery warranty would be looked into, when the battery SOH drops below 70% of the original capacity of the pack in that 7 years.
Of course it is impossible to know if anybody will be in this situation, but my guess would be that MG have a pretty good idea they will NOT replacing / repairing any packs in this time frame.
What does a new pack cost ??????.
That is the 99 dollar question.
But remember as time moves on, there WILL be more independent EV specialist coming on line that have the ability to repair / restore any faulty cells contained in the pack.
Extremely unlikely that every single cell of the pack could be become damaged.
EV packs have been proven to last WAY longer than a lot of people first thought.
You can become paranoid over battery health, which can spoil your enjoyment of the car.
Best suggestion I ever received about 7 years ago about battery health is this.
"Just charge, use and enjoy it".
Good advice !.
