Battery capacity, range and charging for the MG ZS depend on the model year and variant. This summary is for one version. It does not blend the model into a single figure.

2025 ZS SE EV (SE)

Battery capacity

72.6 kWh

Listed type: Lithium-Ion. This is not a measured usable capacity.

Official WLTP range

273 miles

Official combined test figure for this version.

Estimated real-world range

Not listed

Home charging

7.4 kW onboard

Type 2. Listed charging time: 1473 min from 10–80% on a 2.3 kW supply; 458 min from 10–80% on a 7.5 kW supply; 458 min from 10–80% on a 11 kW supply; 458 min from 10–80% on a 22 kW supply.

Rapid charging

No confirmed vehicle limit listed

CCS. Listed charging time: 68 min from 10–80% on a 50 kW supply; 45 min from 10–80% on a 100 kW supply; 45 min from 10–80% on a 150 kW supply. A supply power is not the car’s maximum.

Energy use

266 Wh/mile (3.76 miles/kWh, 26.6 kWh/100 miles)

Miles per kWh and kWh per 100 miles are the same Wh per mile figure converted.

Battery warranty

8 years / 100,000 miles

New-car catalogue cover. It is not the warranty left on a used car.

Battery capacity, official WLTP range and estimated real-world range for each MG ZS version. The estimated range is the supplier’s figure, not a VehicleScore road test. A blank cell means that figure is not listed for that version.

Charging cost estimate

Estimated home-charging cost for one MG ZS version. The full charge uses that version’s listed battery capacity, which is not a measured usable capacity. Charging loss is an assumption you can change, not a test result for this car. The tariff and annual mileage are examples until you replace them.

Estimated full charge

£19.36

Estimated electricity cost per mile

7.09p

Estimated annual charging cost

£567.20

Cost per mile uses this version’s listed Wh per mile figure. A full charge is estimated at 80.67 kWh from the meter after the assumed loss. That works out at 3.76 miles per kWh before charging loss.

Charging time

A listed charging time is shown only when this version has a 10–80% time at the exact supply power you enter. Otherwise the minutes are a VehicleScore estimate from the battery capacity, that power and the charging loss. The rapid power box starts empty unless a rapid-charge limit is listed for the car. A charger’s advertised power is not filled in for you. A calculated rapid-charge time assumes constant power. It is not a real-world charging curve, and the number you type is the supply power, not confirmation of the car’s limit.

Home, 10–80%

458 min calculated

Calculated estimate: constant 7.4 kW for 70% of the listed battery capacity, including the charging loss. No listed 10–80% time matches this supply power.

Rapid, 10–80%

Enter capacity and power

A time needs a battery capacity and a supply power you enter.

Full vehicle specifications for every version

Home charging

The onboard figure is the Type 1 or Type 2 charger listed for that version. Listed charging times are 10–80% at the supply power named beside them. A 22 kW supply does not mean the car charges at 22 kW.

Winter range

These specifications do not include a winter or cold-weather range for the MG ZS, and this guide does not estimate one. Cold weather shortens an electric car’s range. Compare the official WLTP figure and the supplier’s estimated real-world range for the same version.

A single winter percentage would mix versions that already have different batteries and ranges.

Buying a used MG ZS

The figures above describe catalogue versions. They do not describe the battery in one used car.

  • Match the advert to the model year and variant before you compare battery capacity or range.
  • Read battery capacity as the listed catalogue figure. Usable capacity is not included.
  • Check the charge port and onboard home-charger rating for that version, especially on older cars with a Type 1 socket.
  • Treat the warranty as the new-car catalogue cover. Age and mileage decide what is left.
  • Enter the registration for history and any battery health records available for that vehicle. This page cannot show them.

Data sources

Battery capacity, official WLTP range, estimated real-world range, listed charging times, energy use and warranty figures are vehicle specifications supplied by UK Vehicle Data. Estimated real-world range is that supplier’s estimate, not a measurement by VehicleScore. Charging costs and any minute marked as calculated are VehicleScore estimates from the figures you can see. Usable battery capacity and winter range are not in this specification set, so they are not shown. Listed charging times that cannot be a 10–80% charge of a passenger car are left out.

Each row is one catalogue version. Figures are not averaged across model years or variants.

Questions about the MG ZS

What battery capacity does the MG ZS have?

Battery capacity differs by version: 44 kWh, 44.5 kWh, 51.1 kWh, 72.6 kWh. Each figure belongs to the model year and variant in the table. They are not averaged, and none of them is a measured usable capacity.

What is the official WLTP range of the MG ZS?

Official WLTP combined range differs by version: 163 miles, 198 miles, 273 miles. The range table shows which model year and variant each figure belongs to.

How efficient is the MG ZS?

Energy use differs by version: 258 Wh/mile, 266 Wh/mile, 269 Wh/mile, 273 Wh/mile. Miles per kWh on the page is calculated from that version’s Wh per mile figure.

What home charger does the MG ZS accept?

Onboard home-charger ratings differ by version: 6.6 kW, 7.4 kW. Use the version you are comparing, not a single figure for the whole model.

How fast can the MG ZS rapid charge?

No confirmed rapid-charge limit is listed for these MG ZS versions. Listed charging times are 10–80% at the supply power stored with that version. The highest supply power is not the car’s maximum charging speed.

What battery warranty does the MG ZS have?

The battery warranty is not the same on every MG ZS version. The warranty table shows the years and mileage listed for each one. Those are new-car catalogue figures.

What is the winter range of the MG ZS?

These specifications do not include a winter or cold-weather range for the MG ZS, and this page does not estimate one. The range table shows the official WLTP figure, any other official test cycle that is listed, and the supplier’s estimated real-world range where those fields are filled in.

What should I check before buying a used MG ZS?

Match the advert to the model year and variant before you compare battery capacity, range or charging. These pages describe catalogue versions. They do not show one car’s battery health or the warranty cover it has left. Enter the registration to check history and any battery health records available for that vehicle.
