I have a LR Exclusive on order (pick up on the 15th)
Reading some articles I see that the 5 has Battery cooling, but its not really mentioned anywhere in their publications

From what I read below, it possibly does.
Does anyone have more information ?


Article for reference
Electric/Hybrid - MG5 EV offers further value for money with new longer range model on sale now - Renewable Energy Magazine, at the heart of clean energy journalism

The 5LR owners manual -
Page 11 Mentions HV Battery Heater
Page 259 Mentions Battery coolant expansion tank (black cap)

MG Youtube video showing what I suspect to be the ZS battery being built


MG guide to batteries
In an electric vehicle such as the MG ZS EV, batteries are 'buffered', meaning that drivers can't use the full amount of power they store, reducing the number of cycles the battery goes through. Together with other techniques such as water-cooling systems, this means that electric car batteries should last for many years.
 
On the SR you have 2 fill points for antifreeze/coolant.

4.2l for the electric drive transmission coolant
4.4l for the battery cooling


It's stated in the manual around page 259
