How far did we go on one charge in the MG ZS EV? |

[@cruisecontrol7970]

563 on a single charge is very impressive. We'd have been even more interested if you'd have tested in the real conditions. Btw, good work.

[@ashishjaiswal229]

It's an ideal condition. How much on practical scenario?

[@BlazeDJ18]

Claimed is 340km

[@jayantsangari6913]

I own a Mg ZS EV, practical range is not more than 280 km.

[@NewmanAutomotive]

@@BlazeDJ18 Mine gets 160 miles, so 257km in real life normal use here in the UK at about 10 -12 degrees at present, should be quite a bit better in your warmer climate. :) That's mixed motorway and town. Slower, town only use should get you about the 340km claimed.

[@neeldesai5823]

280-300 practically

[@P_THOMAS]

Expect 300

[@devangsalla4952]

I think using the ac and the headlamps would lead to 225 kms max...also considering acceleration differences.

[@BlazeDJ18]

Well the claimed is 340km on a single charge

[@chirag11142]

200kms because all cars are initial stage .

We love to see more 1 charge challenges for all EV vechices! Awesome !

[@rakkc5170]

Congrats to Autocar India and MG for the great Acheivement! I would also like Autocar to do a more "realistic test scenarios" on EV's to give potential buyers and users a good reason to switch from fossil fuels to EVs I have a few ideas/suggestions from my side to for what I call "realistic test scenarios". Usage of accessories like AC/heaters, Headamps, infotainment, navigation should not be restricted. Mention charging station location on highway and time taken for charging if applicable. 1. City drive test - A typical rush hour commute of 40-50 kms 2. A Highway drive test - A 200km commute maitaining a minimum highway speed (eg. 60kmph) as well as adhering to speed limits where mentoned on the highway.

Road trip on an electric car gives me anxiety

[@Prkshdarshan]

My mg zs ev shows in a full charge🔋🔌⚡ Eco mode: 369 km Normal mode: 335 km Sports mode: 318 km With AC, Eco mode: 332 km Normal mode: 302 km Sports mode: 286 km In normal driving I use N mode with kers 2 on it with ac, I am normally hard on the pedal so it gives around 285 km on a single charge. I haven't planned of taking this to long drive yet. But I am absolutely satisfied how it takes off and leaves all the cars behind. Built quality, features, looks is soul touching. 😍😘🥰😋😛😜

[@vaibhavsingh6336]

Hit like if u want this challenge with nexon ev and altroz ev✌️✌️

[@svyshak]

Can there be a much practical testing done too? Meaning, with AC, and perhaps using headlights when required, audio system, and occasional cruising at 120kmph?

[@syedshaik1792]

That is the problems of ev bro we cannot cruise at 120kmph if we do we will go 100km only 😂

[@bootup856]

I wonder how Tesla could perform having a range of 627 km

[@harshsinha12]

Because Telsa is Tesla

[@sanalkumarpalat]

Because Tesla is expensive , so they can use high end batteries

[@vishalchandanshiv1155]

Tesla price in India starts over 2cr....more price means more kw power.....

Teslas has done more than 1000KM with this kind of testing(hypermiling)

[@talkshow9983]

563 KM on EV is really grate , its more or less equal to a full tank petrol car, if MG installing charging points at least every 100 km, this car will be a big boom in India

[@operatora588]

Nah. Petrol car will go that much on a full tank with AC and mixed driving conditions.

[@rajivananfrancis1683]

It should be L3 Fast charging not just level 2 to be practical.

Finally! Do this with every other electric cars♥️

[@nareshfk]

Am a Tata Nexon EV owner. Have driven this car 5000+ KMs till now with more of highway driving. Am sharing my experience with EV. Mileage to be considered for Tata Nexon EV is only 150 KMs with AC on and drive freely like petrol cars, it is nowhere near 312 KMs as claimed by Tata. On drive mode, I get 190 KMs on limiting my speed to 70-80 KMs/hr. with AC on, only driver (no load) on highway. Forget about the sport mode, have never dared to test it! Battery onboard AC to DC charging module is to accept only 3.7kW, Hyundai Kona has 7.4kW. Charging time reduces by half and company can go upto 11kW charging easily without much additional cost. A Tata representative have been appointed to all Tata dealers to promote EVs. Sadly not the one expected from Tata, this guy also went on assuring of getting a minimum of 240 KMs. on highway with AC on and full load. Difference between the real world and ARAI standards mileage should be considered to 50% of what ARAI standards give to EVs! Nexon EV has been given only a single parking brakes option (hand brakes), and not 2-3 braking options like in petrol car. I feel this is a major safety compromise made by Tata. On putting off car, it automatically switches to neutral mode making it necessary you apply parking brakes else, the car might move! Nexon doesn't have a "hill lock" function, on gradients you have to be very careful, as you release brakes car starts moving backwards! On comfort levels car is good. There are minor issues which I am sure will get corrected in next service. Tata dealers suck. I bought car from Puneet motors, Malad, Mumbai. This dealer didn't give a test drive inspite of umpteen requests made; went all out to get full advance from me while the car was yet in Tata Motors, Pune. Activated my car sim afyer about 45 days of buying the car! Forget about many small issues like no signed copy of invoice, chassis no. on fasTag, 5 no. alloy wheels mentioned in invoice whereby you get only 4... I have been to lots of harrassment by this dealer right from I purchased this car. Tata doesn't seem to have control on their dealers. If we compare with Mercedes who have launched an EV recently with a battery pack of 80kW, claiming only 240+ KMs. on full battery. Tata Nexon has only 30kW battery! Tata should go the German way. After all this is the impression we all have for Tata, an "honest" company. They make Mercedes Benz for India! By what I have learnt from my first EV, my next EV would be: 1) 1000 KMs mileage claimed by company (so that I can get atleast 450-500 KMs. "Drive like petrol cars" mileage; 2) 0-100 KMs/hr. in about 7 sec. in normal drive (Nexon gives 9.9 in sports mode, drive mode is super boring); 3) 11kW onboard AC charging capability module, 3.7kW in Nexon takes whole 10 hrs. to charge!; 4) OTA software updates, why should I visit service center just for an update?

[@mayank_singh_0969]

I still feel MG ZS EV is a tad expensive. It would be really nice is AUTOCAR INDIA would do the exact same test with TATA NEXON EV but with Real life conditions.

Hey. Really curious to know. After that thing ran out of juice, how did you guys manage to get it moving again? I mean did you call for a recharge van and wait for an hour, did you put the vehicle on a flat bed truck, or did you guys actually manage to let someone allow you to use their power socket for charging and wait for 12 hours before the battery was charged again?!

Not using the A/C is a matter of choice, but not using headlights is a safety issue. So you recommend driving in Eco Mode with KERS on Setting 1 (low)?

[@yashsharma9525]

@Autocar India - I'm curious to know if the steering wheel locked once the battery drained completely? You wouldn't advise on extracting everything out of the battery on driving conditions, right? What if you were down-hill while that happened?

For city rides, we got around 245-255kms but we only got 210kms range while traveling from kerala to coimbatore via pollachi road. Thank god , brookesfield mall, Coimbatore has an ev charging station. Otherwise we would have to take a room in coimbatore and charge our car in that hotel(if the hotel allows,lol🤣) which would approximately take 13-14 hours with portable charger available with the car.

[@jayantsangari6913]

If you drive the car in eco mode with air conditioner switched on , the range is 280 km 250 km in Normal mode And around 210 km in sports mode . And sports mode is where the magic happens in an EV

[@chudipraveen1]

bro how did u managed the suffocation in a car without ac or droping the windows down???

[@srinivasuluks]

Kudos your dedication, patience and good work . This also tells, one has to be patient and technique on how to get better , longer range with an EV. Simply if you put sport mode, too much acceleration or braking, no matter how big/capacity, then range will come down drastically. It tells how efficient the driver. I don't suggest the ideal situation, but in really, if you can extract 90% specified range, that would be super
