MG HS Trophy PHEV Top Speed on Battery only in UK

[Scifly]

Can anyone please confirm if I can drive at over 30mph using EV mode only . Eg. I would want to drive up to 50 mph in EV mode only and no ICE.
Thank you

You can do 75-80 mph in EV only mode in the summer. I'm not sure about this time of year though as the ICE may cut in sooner.

I dont think the weather makes a difference to the top speed. I have had no issues going up to 75-80 in EV only mode as long as the battery has charge. It is more efficient to drive on ICE at that speed though from what I know.

Thanks for the input. The reason for the question was because the dealer told me that it would automatically kick into ICE over 30mph and I didnt think he was correct.

I think he might be referring to auto mode (for which this is true) rather than EV only mode.
