Driving an electric car certainly feels different the first time round. Most notably an electric car is almost silent, with noise from the motor only noticeable at speed, and traditional wind and tyre noise created. Other than that, EVs drive in a similar way to conventional car with an automatic transmission, and are very easy to drive. But better than an automatic, they have lots of ‘torque’ from a standing start, which means that they are very responsive with even standard EV models having quick acceleration.
At present, MG4 EV, MG ZS EV, MG Cyberster, MG5 EV offer electric-only performance.
The hybrid selection of models available from MG includes the MG3 Hybrid+ & MG ZS Hybrid+.
Yes. The MGHS PHEV is available with plug-in hybrid technology.
Like all manufacturers, MG is playing its part in reducing CO2 levels caused by vehicles. Through the development of all-electric models, the marque is able to deliver zero emissions models that have minimal impact on the environment.
The answer is typically ‘less than in a petrol or diesel car’ as fuel costs for a petrol or diesel car are usually in the range 10-15 p/mile, and only 3-4 p/mile for a home-charged pure-EV. Depending on the drivetrain and model, each will have different costs per trip, depending on where it is charged, and how efficient the EV is compared to other electric models.
