The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

[MickeySw]

Cold month, but slight improvement..

 

[MickeySw]

Some mild days with no HVAC required helped this month. Was so last Tuesday I needed cold air blowing!

Can you overlay the average ambient temperature in your area, might make for interesting reading?

Data for February.
Lowest figure for the month over the last three years.

March looking good so far! 3 days, 3 return trips, total 88 miles, average speed 25mph, average temp 10C, averaged 4.7 miles/ kWh. Only managed 3.6 in December (my first month with the car). No data for Jan and Feb as I wasn't able to drive (hip op).

Mine was 4.6 for the beginning of March until Winter returned yesterday and down to 3.8 . Picked up today though . Don't count your electrons until the month is over

MG5 LR 2022 pf, not quite a full months driving only got the car on the 7th, I drive mostly motorway. Had a few frozen mornings so hope the MKwh gets better with the weather

Fantastic month of warmer weather and many days of limited HVAC use.

Here is my March figure, back into the 4's

 

[maskull]

Very weird month this one . Car was serviced on the 3rd March and, on the 18 mile drive home . I had some very odd readings . After about 4 miles my efficiency was showing as 1 M/Kw and average speed as 3 mph . Anyway by the time I got home it was showing 3.2M/Kw and average speed 9 mph . Seeing as I'd covered the 18 miles in less than 30 minutes that was obviously wrong . I was thinking of getting out the trusty 10mm but decided to give it one more chance . Next day it was normal .
On the 27th I was getting 4.6 M/kW after about 800 miles but then the next bump in the road came . I got the HV Battery shutdown after a bad charge attempt . This time the 10 mm came out and order restored .
So , basically , the figures shown represent the last 4 days .
All in all not bad

Warm March weather has been a bit of a bonus for me:

I made an adjustment to the graph because I had a mileage reset half way through the month.
It was 4.3 for the first half and 4.5 as shown above for the second so I recorded it as 4.4 miles/kWh for the whole month. That's the best March figure I've had since I started taking records.

Wow that is bad consumption 4.6kW/M a range from the usable battery of just 13 miles.
Apologies for the flippancy I'm sure you meant to put 4.6m/kWh.

I'm sure I did

Above figures only show the (warmer) half the month as a ‘hard reset’ was required to successfully fix scheduled charging problems.

A few of us seem to be in the same position this March for some reason.

Many of these screenshots show an analogue display of the speed etc. I just have weird graphic circles and a digital number. How do I switch to an analogue speed?

Analogue speed is only on the pre face lift model

A little early in the month I know , but I changed to ZS EV Trophy LR . But with returns like this I'm wondering if it was a good move

Here is my April figure, not bad. Note lower mileage as I have just bought another MG5.

Here is my April figure for my recently purchased LR Exclusive MG5. Happy with 4.2 as we went to France just before Easter.
