    Your figure is even more impressive, considering it was at 95 km/h. The best I've accomplished so far was: 11.4 kWh/100km on a 90 km roundtrip (averaging 50 km/h); 10.0 kWh/100km on a 26 km roundtrip around the city (33 km/h). Given my location, I'm always on summer tyres and I currently...

    Someone was feeling optimistic yesterday! I even turned on ECO mode, just for those magic extra km. :D This is the result of a trip I did during the past weekend, which consisted of 253 km, on something equivalent to A- and B-roads. It was hot (around 27ºC), there were 3 of us inside the car...

    MG4 Spotted! : Was it you?

    Currently out and about in Macau, so I'm guessing this beauty doesn't belong to any of you, am I right? :love::love:

    Keeping track of my MG4 (efficiency)

    Keeping track of a car's mileage and its economy has been around forever and is actually part of a car/engine data sheet for decades. It all comes down to being interested in such data or not caring about it at all - not sure being an EV or ICE has anything to do with it in the end. In my...

    MG4 Central vibration/rattle

    Happy for you all who have found and solved your rattles. I still have the same as from when the car was new. I've tried searching for the source but never found it. Pretty sure it's comes from directly behind/around the wheel (left-hand drive here). It has subsidised a bit now during winter...

    Keeping track of my MG4 (efficiency)

    You can scroll through 3 counters in total*: "From Start", "From last charge" and "Accumulated Total". "From Start" will reset each time you start the car (if half an hour or more has passed since the last start, otherwise it will keep going); "From last charge" will reset every time you...

    Keeping track of my MG4 (efficiency)

    Yesterday, I had to make an unexpected journey to my home in the middle of the day, so I left work in a hurry and did both journeys as quickly as possible. Luckily, I have a motorway available near me that covers 90% of the journey between home and work, which I use when I'm very late or in...

    I understand that. In fact, that's exactly where I started: What I'm getting at is that the heating part is what affects the mileage the most... by a landslide.

    Keeping track of my MG4 (efficiency)

    It has been long since I've used an ICE car on these conditions and that wasn't really the point of my comment. I'm strictly commenting on how much more impact heating seems to have on this car vs other electrics I've used in the past.

    Keeping track of my MG4 (efficiency)

    That's a good, valid point. Yes, my main drives are mostly short ones (15km) and that increases the heater use. Having said that, the pattern of my driving is the same as with my previous cars and that's what I'm finding strange. And while I did not hold back in keeping myself warm, I did...

    Keeping track of my MG4 (efficiency)

    Indeed, some people take pleasure in doing things that will never make sense to others. Happens to everyone and all the time. Expensive hobbies are another good source of examples of this. But actually, in this case, I can tell you of at least one reason as to "why" doing this: When planning...
