    Fuel Consumption

    I just keep mine in EV mode and charge it at work, and sometimes at home. After about 500 miles of driving, I’ve only used around 13% of the fuel. As long as you don’t have a heavy foot, it stays in electric mode most of the time. My old Mercedes did offer more drive mode options, but I...

    MG HS interior lighting
