(That would be unusual, but not impossible).
Good idea, I think the South Coast gets much more sun than the rest of the country, so you should do well if you haven't got too much shade from tall trees or other buildings.
Indeed. As long as you can charge at home it is cheaper, even on a standard rate tariff.
if not in winter my wife normally have 12kwh/100km - mostly closed road with upper speed limit 80km/h, very few traffic lights, single journey 40km.Hello.
I'll be using this thread to share information with you about my MG4, and at the same time I'll use it for myself, for keeping track of its mileage, etc.
As a small introduction, I got my MG4, new from the dealership, at the beginning of June 2024.
It is a MY23 MG4 Standard (with the 51kWh LFP battery), in Diamond Red. It was on R33 software when I picked it up.
As for the stats, I'll be keeping track, monthly, of the following:
Period Distance (km) Efficiency (kWh/100km) Average Speed (km/h) Up Time June, July and August 2024 3458 14.5 (4.29 mi/kWh) 34 99:59 September 1325 13.9 (4.49 mi/kWh) 31 42:34 October 1231 15.0 (4.14 mi/kWh) 28 43:49 November 1408 15.3 (4.06 mi/kWh) 36 38:16 December 1431 15.6 (3.98 mi/kWh) 34 42:06 January 2025 1656 16.9 (3.68 mi/kWh) 33 49:42 February 2025 1611 15.8 (3.93 mi/kWh) 33 47:44 March 2025 1697 14.9 (4.17 mi/kWh) 35 47:58 April 2025 1110 14.7 (4.23 mi/kWh) 34 32:14 May 2025 1475 14.3 (4.35 mi/kWh) 31 46:24 June 2025 2476.2 14.3 (4.35 mi/kWh) 41 60:49 July 2025 1428 15.4 (4.03 mi/kWh) 38 37:07 August 2025 2113 14.3 (4.35 mi/kWh) 47 44:03 September 2025 1151 14.6 (4.26 mi/kWh) 31 36:43 October 2025 1623 15.4 (4.03 mi/kWh) 32 49:19 November 2025 2432 16.6 (3.74 mi/kWh) 42 60:00 December 2025 2370 17.1 (3.63 mi/kWh) 45 51:50
Current overall combined efficiency, after 30,024 km: 15.2 kWh/100km (4.08 mi/kWh)
I'll also share more information (like issues, servicing, etc.) as it happens.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
| Period | Distance (km) | Efficiency (kWh/100km) | Average Speed (km/h) | Up Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 2026 | 1434 | 18.7 (3.32 mi/kWh) | 32 | 43:39 |
The 18.7kwh/100kms is ball park to what we are getting, but a lot of our driving is at 100km/h to 110km/h on the freeway, and that does drop the efficiency quite a bit.
Is that a typo? Headwinds do have a penalty but not a tripling of consumption.
Yeah, 25kwh/100kms, so the full 51kwh battery to travel under 200kms.
Odd. I'm mostly traveling motorways with daily distances of 170 kms. We had serios frost, snow, always a couple of storms. Corrected for charge losses my average is close to 17 kWh per 100 km.
In these conditions it means it is below zero. Battery performance goes down the drain. Combine it with wind and you will be surprized. Even more if you need to take the motorway.
I'm sure I wouldn't be driving to work, I'd driving to an airport to escape that sort of weather ..... what is it that keeps people in that sort of climate?
Just to see how good they have it back in the lucky countryAnd yet so many Aussies (certainly younger ones) want to come back to the "home" land.
Are you seriously trying to tell me people want to emigrate from Australia to England ..... Is it just so they can get a job pulling beers in a pub, a skill learnt early over here so there is a lot of competition for jobs doing that here .....
The DC fast charging would have pushed the cost per 100kms up, but good to see it spread out over a yr to see it balances out well, even at $5.45/100kms equals around 3ltr/100kms at the prices around here at the moment, but we have seen times when that would be closer to requiring 2ltr/100kms to get that sort of economy just on fuel costs alone .....
