Overview

Charging the MG4 at home

Base MG4s take 6.6 kW AC, so a 7 kW charger is the sweet spot. The 77 kWh Long Range and XPower step up to 11 kW three-phase.

Best for: Driving enthusiasts on a budget who want a rear-wheel-drive hot hatch.

What makes it different

Why the MG4 stands out

  • Rear-wheel drive, 50:50 weight balance — proper drivers' hatch
  • 6.6 kW AC on base trims, 11 kW on Long Range and XPower
  • 150 kW DC on XPower — quickest DC top-up in this price bracket
  • V2L 2.2 kW plus Level 2 autonomy at highway speeds
Worth knowing

The base MG4 caps at 6.6 kW — pick your charger to match

A 7 kW single-phase Zappi is a perfect match for the base 51 kWh MG4. Only step up to 22 kW if you have the XPower or Long Range and already have three-phase at the switchboard.

On 7 kW single-phase

Empty to full: 8 to 11 hours depending on battery size

On 22 kW three-phase

11 kW models: about 7 hours 15 min for the 77 kWh pack

Daily top-up

50 km added in about 1 hour 30 min on 6.6 kW

Our pick for the MG4

We match the charger to what your car can actually accept. Buying a 22 kW unit for a MG4 that only takes 6.6 kW / 11 kW AC is money spent on kilowatts you'll never use. This recommendation gets you charged overnight without overspending.

  • Matches the MG4's 6.6 kW / 11 kW onboard AC rate
  • Type 2 / CCS2 socket, native to the MG
  • Backed by our 10-year installation warranty
