What's your MG4 Motorway Efficiency & what Speed etc are you doing to get that ?

What is your MG4 motorway efficiency and whats speed and settings did you put to achieve that...

This thread has some information on that question:

Motorway efficiency test MG4 Trophy

Hi. I thought I'd spend this nice day seeing what difference it made changing the Regen settings and testing the efficiency at gentle motorway speeds. I did 2 runs of 27 mile there, 27 mile back along the A46 dual carriageway from North Leicester to Newark. This allowed a clear run with no...

I have an MG4 SR - and on a 60 miles trip along the M40 and M25 plus a return journey, achieved 3.4 m/kWh using ACC and Adaptive at 70 mph.

Doing an average of 65-70 230 miles on the motorway, I got 3.5kWh with my Trophy.

Are these efficiency figures when the heater is on or off?

Thank you for all the figures guys... I hoped it would of been a little more.

.... I think we are all averaging the same (3.5/kwh) on the MG4, once we have a few miles on the clock - but over a month (even at 30p/kwh) , at say 1000 miles / month its still less than £10 difference in electric costs, which more than outweighs depreication, and enjoyment of driving the MG4 - everyone to their own I say?

It cost me around £2 to travel 100 miles going to work each week, using my low Octopus rate 8.5p per kWh at night to charge the car.

I have now done 1100 miles 550 of those on the motorway. My overall kWh is 3.7. Locally I get 4-4.2kWh

Hi Paul thanks, the 3.7 overall you got. Is that from motorways at 70mph or for the whole 1100 average including local and motorway together ..

The whole average with speeds around 70mph and urban driving around 20-60mph

 

[JayEV2022]

Brilliant, thanks for that

I watched this video yesterday and I was shocked. How it could be possible to drive those cars with around 7 miles per kwh beside the air-conditioning is active ...

I can only manage 4 miles per kwh average and mostly avoiding to use air-conditioning . ( Mostly driving in motorway 95% )

If this is true , these cars must have over 420 miles range by thinking of having approximately 60 kwh battery. Am I wrong ?

I would think that's pretty good for motorway driving. In my ZS EV gen 1, doing a trip on the motorway mostly at 70mph (heater on or not) I'd be lucky to get more than 3 m/kWh.

I too got 3.4kWh traveling 235miles 180 on the motorway 70 mph ish, in my MG4 Trophy. I owned an ID.3 before and got similar. Locally I get 4-4.2 about 12c. Paying only 8.5p per kWh makes it a very economical car. Costing around 2p a mile locally.

I wonder if there's a correlation between economy and gearbox oil fill. Is there any hint that the prescribed "reduced fill" benefits economy?
