Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 51.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 50.8 kWh, with a 0.2 kWh buffer (0.4%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 332.8 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses LFP technology, which has different characteristics from typical NCA and NMC batteries.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 350 km (218 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 14.5 kWh/100 km (4.3 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 87 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 83 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 36 minutes at an average power of 59 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 3–60%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 59 kW over a session lasting about 29 minutes and 18 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 21 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 11 hours and 3 minutes, needing six charging stops from 3% to 56%, totaling 164 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 6.6 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 41 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
An optional 11 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 4 hours and 37 minutes.
Charge Port
The charge port is on the left rear side. This position suits charging bays where the vehicle reverses toward the charging point.
Bidirectional Charging
This model supports V2L (Vehicle to Load), allowing you to power electrical equipment requiring up to 2.2 kW of power, and even charge other electric vehicles.
Drivetrain
The MG MG4 Electric Standard has a rear-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the rear axle.
Suspension
The suspension system features a MacPherson strut front construction and a multi-link rear construction. Both the front and rear dampers are monotube dampers. The front and rear springs are coil springs.
The MacPherson / 5-link Multi-link suspension has a fixed height and damping characteristics.
Ground clearance with this setup is 150 mm.
Steering

Brakes
The MG MG4 Electric Standard is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
The front discs measure 300 mm, while the rear discs are 272 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are four levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 50 kW.
