The 2022 Standard Range is 49 kWh usable for 198 miles, and the Long Range 68.3 kWh usable for 273. MG's own figure for the onboard charger is up to 7 kW, and MG quotes ten and a half hours for a full charge on the Long Range at that rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery one of them is single phase. EV Database lists an optional 11 kW three phase charger on the Long Range; no UK source supports it and MG's own press material does not mention it, so this page works to MG's figure.

An independent charging test on the original 44.5 kWh car measured 76 kW, briefly, which is the sort of detail that tells you the honest figure is the lower one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for a ZS EV\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket is behind the MG badge in the grille, dead centre in the nose. It is one of the easier cars on this site to buy a cable for: no side to establish, no difference between left and right hand drive, and nose-in parking puts the inlet as close to the charge point as it can get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZS is 4.3 metres long. Nose in and 5 metres is comfortable. Reverse onto the drive and the lead runs the length of the car, which is \u003ca href=\"\/products\/10m-ev-charging-cables\"\u003e10 metres\u003c\/a\u003e. Bays where you cannot choose your approach are also 10 metre territory.
