What MG ZS EV battery do I have?

[Stian Thomassen]

I ordered MG ZS EV 2022 Luxury 72kwh, in January last year and got in May. Do I have LFP battery or Ion lithium then? Can't find any page that have it lined up or something.

Mercury Nickel Cobalt? Thought those were non-rechargeable?

That's my dyslexia kicking in NMC then lol

Lithium-Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt-Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2), abbreviated as NMC

Aha, then I understand. When did they start with LFP batteries at MG?

Facelift standard range

For the LR they had to stick with NMC to make it fit the available space and to keep weight manageable.

I'm kind of glad that here in Australia we only get the standard range, saved me from having to make a difficult decision. Other than weight and volume, LFP has several advantages: significantly higher cycle life, being able to charge to 100% with less impact on longevity, no cobalt with associated supply chain issues (environmental impact & child labour).

I think LFP started with the 2022 model.

Yes as said before standard range face lift model only

Thank you for the confirmation. It’s interesting how Australia only orders the 51kWh for this reason perhaps.
