Hello everyone,
Just hoping to get answer on the concern i have regarding MG4 electric 64 KWH battery. I travel 250 km everyday and need to travel on around 110 km/hr. I have attached the below image. I need to charge everyday upto 90%. Every day it reduces to around 10%. Can someone please help me how i can reduce the battery usage and still get same kilometre. On an average i only gets around 300 kms on full battery. I really appreciate any suggestions and strategies.

Things that can help reduce consumption which are specific to the MG4:

Set the power mode to ECO
Set the HVAC to ECO and set the temperature to one or two degrees higher in summer, and one or two degrees lower in winter.
Set the regen to A if you find it difficult to coast when regen is set to 3 or OPD.
If you need to squeeze a few extra KMs near your destination and you start to get anxious, enable the "low power mode".
You can also charge to 95% instead of 90% to reduce any range anxiety on the return leg.

Satnav applications like Google Maps, Apple Maps, TomTom can suggest more eco-friendly routes if you specify you have an electric vehicle which sometime take roughly the same total time but will avoid motorways or fast dual carriageways or busy junctions.

The internet is full of advice on how to change your driving style to reduce consumption, but it's not MG4 specific.
Removing anything non-essential from the boot and keeping the tyres at the recommended pressure might also help, if only a little.
If you want me to I can post a few links here.

Don't worry about it. Charge to 100% if you're going to drive it that sort of distance the next day, it isn't going to cause any significant problems.
 
1. Use level 1 regen on highway(because regen efficiency is around %40),
2. use as much as low gas and brake pedals(try to press gently to pedals),
3. check all tyres for right pressures.
4. try to turn off A/C on climate control panel.
5. turn off battery heating.
