The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

How do achieve 20miles per kilo watt?
What is the methodology ?

Driving downhill with a tailwind would get you there.

 

[Gomev]

In the 5 the display is limited to 20miles/kWh max, but my Kona goes up to 999.
I live at the top a hill and the first mile of my journey I always achieved the 20 and now the 999.

Yes had 20 m/kWh twice this week. Think that's the most the display will show. I did get a photo?View attachment 8445

What driving style did you use to achieve 20miles per kwh ?
is it a software glitch to make you feel good?

Bit early for this one as I wanted to charge up and reset, so I'm regarding this as my September figures

 

[Black estate]

I'll be back posting in this next month,car will be used as of Saturday , currently SORN'D ,
Looking forward seeing how my work commute looks

I'll be posting the September figures for my MGS5 in the other forum later on. This may interest MG5 owners also because I've decided to carry on using my existing MG5 graph and this will allow a direct comparison of month on month energy consumption between the MG5 and MGS5.

This is the September figure for the MG5 SR. I think the wife did well this month although I did use it for getting to work and few times.

This is my figure for September in my MG5 LR. I had to disconnect the 12V battery, half way through the month, as the Radio Module Disconnect fault popped up again.

September looks like a very repeatable month!

Sure is!

 

[Paul Mason]

This is my figure for September. August was a doozy with just over 4,700 miles covered at an average of 4.1 mi/kWh (can't remember the rest) but it reset itself before I could get a picture.

Downhill from now until spring given past experience

 

[Black estate]

Right starting from a clean sheet 12v battery has been off a week for a charge
Main battery charged and every thing reset

What does your GOM show if you flick into ECO?

Don't know yet as not driven in anger yet

I mean just flick it now to see the GOM change as it is showing 208 not 214

That reflects the degradation, which isn't looking bad. Implies a SOH of 97% which is pretty impressive for a 75k miles car.

I've always had to turn the car into Eco to show 214, from day 1.
The pic above is is Normal so won't show the extra few miles.
