Charging Speed
The NIO ET5 Touring has a peak DC charging speed of 140 kW, which is roughly 61% faster than the MG MG5 at 87 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the NIO ET5 Touring finishes in about 38 minutes, which is 4 minutes quicker than the MG MG5 at 42 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The NIO ET5 Touring has a WLTP rated range of approximately 560 km, which is roughly 160 km more than the MG MG5 at approximately 400 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The MG MG5 consumes 171 Wh/km, compared to 186 Wh/km for the NIO ET5 Touring. That means the MG MG5 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The NIO ET5 Touring has approximately 90 kWh of useable battery , while the MG MG5 has approximately 57.4 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging speed is your priority, the NIO ET5 Touring wins on both peak power (up to 140 kW) and time at the plug (approximately 38 minutes from 10-80%). For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the MG MG5 is the more efficient choice at 171 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the NIO ET5 Touring has a WLTP rated range of approximately 560 km, which is roughly 160 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
