How To Charge The MG ZS EV

In recent years, the use of electric and hybrid vehicles has skyrocketed, and this is only going to become more popular in the coming years. This guide takes a closer look at how to charge the MG ZS EV, the first electric vehicle in the Chinese-owned manufacturer’s range.

The compact SUV, with its zippy performance, attractive price tag and stylish design, has made it incredibly popular among commuters. It’s no wonder that the brand featured as one of Ireland’s top selling electric car brands in 2023 with sales continuing to be on the rise.

How to charge the MG ZS EV

Wondering how to charge the MG ZS EV? The vehicle is very simple to recharge and features the common CSS charging standard.

This consists of both combined AC and DC inlet ports, with the top portion of the charger designed for Type 2 connectors, which are used for typical home wall sockets and public AC ports. The bottom section of the inlet port is designed for DC charging, which requires much high power but far less charging time.

When it comes to how to charge the MG ZX EV, the vehicle is suitable for use across slow, fast and rapid electric car chargers. This ensures that owners are able to simply plug it into their mains socket at home and utilise a fast charging unit or any public chargers.

How to charge the MG ZS EV: how long does it take?

When it comes to how to charge the MG ZS EV, one of the most common questions that owners want to know is just how long it takes to charge. As with all electric and hybrid vehicles, this can differ depending on a huge array of factors.

The following figures will give you an idea, but it is important to remember that it is very rare an electric vehicle will ever need to be fully charged from 0%. Using a rapid 50kW charger, for up to 80% charge it will take around 40 minutes. For a fast 22kW, it will take up to five hours for 100%, while for a Fast 7kW, it will be 6.5 hours, and for a slow 3kW, charger it will take 15 hours.

How much does it cost to charge the MG ZS EV?

Another important question that every electric vehicle owner wants to know is just how much it will cost to fully charge their car. This is a hard question to answer completely as it depends on a huge array of factors.

The first is the type of charger that you are using and the energy tariff you’re on. Using an eco-friendly charger during off-peak hours with a smart tariff will cost less than fast charging during peak periods.

However, the condition of your battery can also play a major role as well as other factors such as the weather and even location of your charger. It’s important to note, you shouldn’t charge your electric vehicle in an enclosed space.

On average, though, a full charge from 0% on a standard tariff would cost owners of the MG ZS EV around €30. By using a more flexible tariff, or even renewable energy sources such as home solar panels, this figure could be dramatically reduced.

What is the range of the MG ZS EV?

Now you know how to charge the MG ZS EV, the final question most drivers ask is what the available range is. There are two versions of the vehicle: the standard which features a range of 198 miles with average use, and the Long Range version which is around 273 miles.

However, as with any electric vehicle these figures should just be used as a guide as there are many factors which impact range. These include the weather, battery health, driving style and even where you’re driving to and from.
