Thought it would be interesting to try to compare what people have been getting out of their batteries each month. If you want to post a pic, the make of EV and driving settings/style.

Will try to do one every month.
 
Pug e208. Mostly in eco setting and in D

mode on motorway and duel carriageway the rest of the time in B mode (regen).

3.6 M/KWh
 
MG ZS EV Trophy Connect LR

About 1300 miles of mixed driving.

Mostly ECO mode with level 3 KERS.

Some Sport Mode :)

AC Auto, Fan Auto. 21degC target temperature.

3.6 miles/kWh

Helped by a 218 miles trip at just over 4 miles/kWh.
 
You should have warned me on the 1st, I would have reset trip and left it for a month, a bit late now I'm afraid as I have no idea. ! :unsure:
 
Wonderful day yesterday - almost - came down the motorway from north of Dunfermline riding high and super chuffed with the long range 5 showing 8 m/kw and loving it.
Then we levelled out and started the run up to the apex of the Queen’s Crossing bridge. I couldn’t hold to 8 no matter how I feathered the throttle or pleaded with the display.
So the next nine miles saw the return to 3.7 - Och a man can dream - nearly 500 mile range would have been OK😜 ??

8mkh are you sure you weren't dreaming.
 
As mentioned above, nobody can give a February figure unless they coincidentally did a reset on the first of the month. Make this a shout out for members to reset today and report back at the end of March.
And I thought everyone on here was a stats geek like me 😂
 
Hi Dave the MG's a light cars. The MG5 is 40kg lighter than a Renault Zoe (52kW battery) and 280kg lighter than a VW ID3 (58kW battery) !
I had the SR version and it was a great car.

I was torn between the LR MG5 and the new LR ZS EV. I had long test drives in both, taking them each for a few days. I found that the range in both was pretty much identical. As the MG5 has a 10kWh smaller battery it demonstrated how better at efficiency it is compared to the ZS EV.

In the end, I went for the ZS EV and it’s better technology. Also, the higher seating is better for both SWMBO and me.

Still, 4+ miles/kWh at this time of the year it great.

Hi
I don't have February specific, but since the start of November when my standard range 5 went in for its kers/brake light update, I have driven about 1000 miles at 4.1 m/kwh overall, which I am pleased with, since it has been over the colder months. It should though be noted that I drive in Eco kers3 mode all the time, and all of this mileage is made up with short distances, typically about 10 miles each way, and since this is on the Isle of Wight, speeds have been modest; I doubt that I have exceeded 50 mph more than a handful of times. I have yet to venture "abroad" (but that will come later this year when I go on holiday...)

Incidentally, I am intrigued by 2 things.

1. Every journey starts with a reading of 3.1 m/kwh and then creeps up ( I am told that this is due to the mathematics of Bayesian Averages, which I vaguely understand). On my regular outward journey (10 miles or so) I typically get about 3.9 to 4 m/kwh, and on the return about 3.5 to 3.6. I put this down to the fact that I live at an altitude of about 400 feet and my usual destination when I leave home is at sea level, and is therefore more uphill on the way back home.

2. The m/kwh reading for the whole time span (4.1 from November) is a little more than the 4 or 3.6 I typically get on an individual journey. Does this indicate that the telemetry for the individual journeys tends to give a lower reading than the true reading (again influenced by the Bayesian average....), but the electronics plays catch-up as it aggregates totals?

Does anyone else have similar experience?
ps still loving my 5.....

I struggle to comprehend the average Brit these days let alone these Bayesian guys - but I think in general my MG5 experience is roughly in line with yours - allowing for journey distances and altitude variations. They are excellent vehicles.
 
3.5 m/kw for me. That’s mainly my 40 mile commute over the Brecon Beacons so pretty pleased with that run down to Cardiff last week averaged just over 4m/kw. Evs really don’t like going up hills.

Ahh but the effortless way they do it. The absence of clutch and downchange nonsense in the middle of tight corners. And that glorious realisation that your wonderful machine will actually gather up some of those amps off the road on the way back down - hey, what other toy ever gave that ?

Don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan. Always a race with the mrs to get the mg5 keys.
With out the kers my reading would be a lot lower. Heading down out the hills to the coast at the end pushes the reading up from sub 3 to 3.5.
 
My personal best is (short journey admittedly) 15 m/kw coming down from the top of the Mendips. Even when I got home after driving a couple of miles on the flat it was still showing 10 m/kw.
