Insufficient Charge: Incorrectly or insufficiently charging your ZS EV can be detrimental to its mileage. A car battery needs to be charged before it can be operated. The stored energy in the battery pack gradually depletes as the ignition is turned on. If the battery pack is empty, the car won't start again until it is recharged. The 51.1kWh battery that powers the MG ZS EV can be fully charged in 8 hours with a 7kW home charger.
Battery Condition: A battery's maximum charge potential decreases with age. This shouldn't discourage potential buyers, though, as the degradation rate is only 2.3% annually and can even be reduced with good care. With the LFP battery, the MG ZS EV can travel 330 km and is anticipated to endure 3000 cycles. With its 440 km range, the NMC battery powers the MG ZS EV Long Range and is predicted to endure 1500 cycles.
Car Maintenance: EVs usually require less maintenance, but that does not mean skipping this part altogether. After a point, a poorly maintained car will show low mileage. Regular maintenance should include checking fluids, changing tyres, and checking that the drivetrain and tyres are in good working order and well-filled. Additionally, refurbishing dead cells to preserve maximum capacity can keep your range closer to its initial value as your battery ages.
