Tips to Reduce Charging Costs
- The MG5's 57.4 kWh battery charges fully overnight on a home wallbox. With electricity rates typically well below public charger prices, this is by far the cheapest way to keep it running.
- The MG5's DC charging tops out at 87 kW, which is modest. Plan road trip stops so you can charge to 80% and move on, rather than waiting for the slow trickle above 80%.
- Use the MG5's regenerative braking settings to recapture energy in traffic. In daily driving, this can reduce effective consumption below the rated 17.1 kWh/100 km.
- Avoid carrying unnecessary weight. The MG5's estate body encourages loading up, but extra weight increases consumption and means more frequent, more expensive charging.
- If your MG5 has a heat pump, use it in cooler weather. It reduces the energy needed for heating and helps you get more driving range from each charge.
The MG5 works best with a home-charging routine. Its 335 km range covers most weekly driving for families and commuters. Plug in at home two to three times a week and charge to 80%. The 87 kW DC speed is adequate for occasional road trips, but not fast enough to make frequent public fast charging convenient or cost-effective.
