MG ZS EV Review, For Sale, Specs & News in Australia

With relatively low pricing as far as electric cars are concerned, the mid-size MG ZS EV SUV is a tempting offer for those looking to pass on the pump.

A petrol version of the ZS is also available, but three variants of the EV now make up most of its line-up.

With driving ranges up to 440km in its highest specification, it doesn’t quite meet the needs of rural buyers, but has more than most around its EV price point.

The line-up currently starts at $35,530 for the ZS EV Excite and ranges through to $50,160 for the range-topping ZS EV Long Range.

MG ZS EV Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the MG ZS EV here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • How to charge MG ZS EV (how long does it take and what does it cost)?

     

    There are three different ways to charge your MG ZS EV– two at home and one in public. The first involves a regular 240V wall socket, using a standard charging cable provided by MG. This will take roughly 34 hours at home for the 51kWh battery or 36 hours for the long-range 73kWh battery. Charging costs range between 21 to 36 cents per kWh on average but can vary depending on demand and which state you live in. Alternatively, owners can purchase an AC wall unit which on average costs between $800 to $2000, with additional charges for installation. An 11kW unit will fully charge a MG ZS EV in 7.5 hours or 10.5 hours for the 73kWh battery. If the unit is hooked up to solar power, the cost can be free. MG ZS EV owners can also access public DC fast-charging stations with the maximum output of 100kW. It will take 45 minutes to charge the 51kWh battery at this rate and 36 minutes on the 72kWh unit. Once again, charges depending on demand and where you’re charging, but as a general rule you should never pay more than $40 per charge.
