MG MG5 EV Long Range
The MG MG5 EV Long Range is an electric car produced by MG Motor, a British car company owned by its Chinese parent company, SAIC Motor. The MG5 EV Long Range is a variant of the MG5, a compact estate car that has been in production since 2012.
The MG5 EV Long Range was first introduced in 2020 and features a 61.1 kWh battery pack that provides a range of up to 340 km on a single charge, according to the WLTP cycle. The car is powered by a 115 kW (154 hp) electric motor, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h).
As for charging, the MG5 EV Long Range can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in just 50 minutes with a 50-kilowatt fast charger or in 8.5 hours with a 7-kilowatt home charger.
The MG5 EV Long Range is equipped with a number of standard features, including a 10.1-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, a rearview camera, automatic headlights, and rain-sensing wipers. Options include a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, and a premium audio system.
Overall, the MG MG5 EV Long Range is a practical and affordable electric car with decent range and performance. However, it may not have the same level of brand recognition or resale value as some of its more established competitors.

Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)
A public charging station is required to use the highest possible charging rate. The EVSE/charging station’s charging capacity affects how long it takes to fully charge the battery. The table below shows all possible options for fully charging the MG MG5 EV Long Range.
In Europe, plugging an electric car into an outlet is often as easy as plugging it into a household outlet, but there are differences from country to country. The table below shows the different ways to charge the MG MG5 EV Long Range, but in some countries some chargers may not be available.
Type 2 ( IEC 62196)
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Power | Time | Rate |
| Wall Plug (2.3 kW) | 230V / 1x10A | 2.3 kW | 29h15m | 12 km/h |
| 1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW | 18h15m | 19 km/h |
| 1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) | 230V / 1x29A | 6.6 kW | 10h15m | 33 km/h |
| 3-phase 16A (11 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW | 18h15m | 19 km/h |

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
If you want to enjoy driving an electric car, one of the most important features to consider is the number of miles per hour the car can travel while charged. This is called the “range” of the car. All electric cars have a certain range, even if they are 100% charged. This is because they do not have an internal combustion engine to lean on if you need to drive a long distance.
Max. Power: The maximum power provided by the charging point
Avg. Power: The average power provided by the charging point during a session of 10% to 80%.
Time: the time it takes to charge from 10% to 80%
Speed: the average charging rate during the session of 10% to 80%
Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Avg. Power | Time | Rate |
| CCS (50 kW DC) | 50 kW | 40 kW | 63 min | 220 km/h |
