    The reading in car is from the “Guess-O-Meter” (GOM) the Bluelink in notoriously off, even when compared to the GOM.   I actually had the GOM tell me I could get 225 miles out of my 163mile ZS.  I looked at the miles per kWh and did the sums and the 225 turned into 175, still pretty good when the WLTP lies tell you 163.

     

    Is this the first EV you’ve had?  If so, there’s a whole learning curve about how to get the most out of a charge and that differs from car to car.  I found that those with the auto parking brake need that switching off, the effort to pull out, especially in a hurry is so inefficient it’s mental.  That alone gave me 20 miles per charge.  That’s mostly because the MG’s electronics are so quick it’s as if they communicate with China before disengaging the brake, so pulling out to fit in a gap becomes incredibly stressful and you end up standing on the accelerator until you start moving, then you’re trying to lighten up whilst not losing the acceleration.  Then there’s things like regen setting, which differs for each driving situation, and when you can and can’t use eco and gain from it.

    I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
