Tips to Get More Range from MG Motor ZS EV
🔋
Charge to 80% daily
Keeping battery between 20–80% extends long-term battery health significantly.
❄️
Pre-condition the cabin
Run AC or heat while plugged in before driving — not from battery.
🌿
Use Eco mode in city
Eco mode limits motor output and maximises regenerative braking.
🔄
Max regen braking
High regenerative braking setting recovers 5–8% range on stop-start routes.
🏎️
Avoid high-speed cruising
Range drops sharply above 100 km/h — plan highway legs at 80–90 km/h.
💨
Park in shade on hot days
Thermal management drains battery in extreme heat even when parked.
