MG ZS EV 50.3w battery in Australia v India range

[Deleted member 10911]

Apologies if this has been posted already, however, I'm about to take delivery of a 23 (22) MG ZS EV and am completely befuddled by the ranges quoted.

WLTP is 320 (I get that)
The sticker on the window quotes 360km - some Australian Govt thing

Then I see in India, the 50.3kw battery model is quoted as reaching 461km MG ZS EV real world range tested, explained | Autocar India

"We can now confirm that the 2022 ZS EV for India will ditch the 44.5kWh battery for a new 51kWh unit, and while no official range figure has been released, expect a claimed range of close to 480km. Just for reference, in our Autocar India range test, the 44.5kWh battery managed an impressive 317km in real-world usage."

Based upon a range of 480km, it works out to 9.54kw/100km. The best range I have ever seen on an EV. Either that or I am a yobbo who needs more sleep.

Maybe I just have range anxiety about my car...

We have the 72kWh battery and don't get 480 km out of it, the best is around 440-450 km even in the summer. Perhaps the batteries are super-efficient in the Indian climate? But more likely an inaccurate guess from Autocar.

EV Database lists the smaller battery car's range as 270 km (WLTP 320 km) so that's likely more in the ballpark that you will get. MG ZS EV Standard Range

Maybe the average road speed is a lot lower in India so = more range
