The MG4 EV is an affordable electric hatchback that offers strong value, practical range and rapid charging capability for everyday UK driving.

It uses a Type 2 connection for AC home and destination charging, and CCS for DC rapid charging. In the UK, the MG4 EV Long Range is a key version to reference, with a 64kWh total battery capacity, 61.7kWh usable battery capacity and a maximum AC charging rate of 6.6kW.

MG4 EV Charging Specifications

Model variant	Battery capacity	Charging port type	AC Home Charging / Destination Charging Speed	DC Rapid Charging Speed (Public Charging)
MG4 EV Long Range	61.7kWh usable	Type 2 / CCS	Up to 6.6kW AC	Up to approx 142kW DC

Please note that specifications may vary slightly depending on model year and market specification.

Other MG4 versions, including Standard Range, Extended Range and XPower models, may have different battery sizes and charging speeds.

Charging the MG4 EV at Home

Charging the MG4 EV at home is simple with a dedicated wallbox. The MG4 EV Long Range has a 6.6kW onboard AC charger, so it will not take the full output from some 7.4kW home charge points, but it will still charge easily overnight from a low battery.

A standard three-pin plug can be used if necessary, but it is much slower and is best treated as an emergency or occasional charging option.

Charging Times at Home

Charger Power	Model Variant	Estimated Charge Time
2.3kW (3-pin socket)	MG4 EV Long Range	Approximately 32 hours
7kW Home Charger	MG4 EV Long Range	Approximately 11 hours
11kW AC Charger	MG4 EV Long Range	Approximately 11 hours

MG4 EV Smart Charging Features

The MG4 EV supports useful charging features designed to make everyday electric driving easier. Depending on model year and specification, features may include scheduled charging, remote charging information through MG’s connected services and battery management settings.

Selected MG4 models also support Vehicle-to-Load functionality, allowing the car to power external electrical devices when using the correct adapter and within the vehicle’s output limits.

How Much Does It Cost to Charge an MG4 EV at Home?

Using a typical UK electricity tariff of 26.35p/kWh:

Model Variant	Estimated Charging Cost per Single Charge (0–100%)
MG4 EV Long Range	Approximately £16.26

This is based on a 61.7kWh usable battery multiplied by 26.35p/kWh. Actual cost will vary depending on tariff, charging losses and whether an off-peak EV tariff is used.

Public Charging for the MG4 EV

The MG4 EV uses CCS for DC rapid charging, so it can use the majority of UK rapid and ultra-rapid public charging points. The MG4 EV Long Range can rapid charge at up to around 142kW, with a 10-80% charge taking approximately 30 minutes on a sufficiently powerful charger.

Rapid charging is most useful on longer journeys, while AC destination charging is better suited to parking for several hours at hotels, workplaces, shopping centres or town-centre chargers.
