My MG ZS EV experience at 20,000 km: 8 observations worth sharing

The increased use of air-conditioning in the summer months has brought down the range by about 10-15 km.

BHPian speedmiester recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

20K Kms Update

Lightfury completed 20000Kms on the odo yesterday. This milestone came in at just over 8 months.

Also got the fourth service done a week ago. An update for the stability control program was performed along with routine service which included a change of the AC filter.

For the past 4 months, I could undertake only two long drives apart from the many Bangalore-Mysore-Bangalore drives. One to Chennai and the other to Manipal. Both were solo drives and I stuck to speeds between 70-90KMPH which resulted in high-efficiency numbers. I could reach Chennai on a single charge and similarly reached Manipal on a single charge.

Few pointers since the last update

Key stats so far:

Many miles to go

Here’s what BHPian DarthVeda had to say about the matter:

This is a bit concerning, the battery degradation is dependent on the # of charge cycles and it’s too early for it to onset at this early stage, I have driven over 20k on my Nexon EV and it still takes in 28.6kwh of energy.

Here’s what BHPian shyampsunder had to say about the matter:

I wouldn’t take SOH at its face value. According to UK forums, it looks like MG’s measurement of SOH on their LFP batteries is a static number that keeps reducing in a pre-determined way irrespective of the actual degradation of the battery. Refer to this link.

At 100% charge on normal mode, what is the number of KMs you are seeing as the range?
