MG ZS EV Home Charging: Time, Cost and the Right Charger

MG ZS EV versions

Versions and values refer to the models sold in Türkiye; equipment and charging power can differ in your country.

Home charging time (20% to 80%)

Charging speed is set by the car's onboard AC charger, not by the wallbox. The MG ZS EV takes at most 6.6 kW with the standard unit; a more powerful charger cannot exceed this limit. Because the standard onboard charger is single-phase, the car takes 3.7 kW from a three-phase 11 kW (3×16 A) charger.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the MG ZS EV take to charge at home?

From 20% to 80%: with a single-phase 7.4 kW charger Standard (51 kWh) 5 h 9 min; with a 3.7 kW (16 A single-phase) portable charger Standard (51 kWh) 9 h 11 min. Times depend on the car's onboard AC charger and the battery's state of charge.

Which charger is right for the MG ZS EV?

Because the car's onboard AC charger takes 6.6 kW as standard and is single-phase, a single-phase 7.4 kW (32 A) wallbox gives the fastest charging the car can accept. On a three-phase 11 kW (3×16 A) charger the car drops to 3.7 kW.

How many kW does the MG ZS EV take from a three-phase 11 kW charger?

3.7 kW with the standard onboard charger. The MG ZS EV's standard onboard charger is single-phase: a three-phase 11 kW charger (3×16 A) supplies at most 16 A per phase, and the car uses only one phase. From 20% to 80% takes Standard (51 kWh) 9 h 11 min; with a single-phase 7.4 kW (32 A) charger Standard (51 kWh) 5 h 9 min. For this car a single-phase 7.4 kW charger is faster; a three-phase 22 kW charger (3×32 A) gives the same speed because it supplies 32 A on one phase. If your car has the optional 11 kW three-phase unit, an 11 kW charger delivers full power; check your registration document or equipment list to see which unit you have.

Does a 22 kW charger charge the MG ZS EV faster?

No. The MG ZS EV takes at most 6.6 kW AC; a 22 kW charger gives this car the same power. A 22 kW charger only makes sense for a future car that supports 22 kW or for shared use.

How much does it cost to charge the MG ZS EV at home?

At the Ofgem price cap (£0.26/kWh, 10.2026) 100 km costs about £4.97. At public AC chargers you pay about £10.20 on average, at DC rapid chargers about £14.23. Tariffs with cheaper night rates lower the cost further.

Does the MG ZS EV support V2L?

Yes. The MG ZS EV supports V2L (vehicle-to-load): a V2L adapter plugged into the Type 2 charging socket lets you use the car like a 230 V socket. In EV Database's list data, V2L is marked for the Standard Range and Long Range versions from 2022 but not for the first version; check your car's model year.
