MG ZS EV

Australia's cheapest electric SUV, still the top-selling MG EV.

Range WLTP

320–440 km WLTP

Onboard AC

6.6–11 kW

DC fast

up to 76–92 kW

Overview

Charging the ZS EV at home

The Standard Range caps at 6.6 kW AC — a 7 kW single-phase Zappi is the sweet spot. Long Range takes 11 kW if you have three-phase.

Best for: First-time EV buyers wanting a reliable SUV under $45k drive-away.

What makes it different

Why the ZS EV stands out

  • Standard Range caps at 6.6 kW AC — a 7 kW Zappi is the exact match
  • Long Range steps up to 11 kW, worthwhile only on three-phase homes
  • V2L 2.5 kW output on Essence trim — power a fridge from the boot
  • 7-year unlimited km warranty, longest in the segment
Worth knowing

The Standard Range never benefits from a 22 kW charger

The onboard AC unit caps at 6.6 kW. Spending on a three-phase charger delivers zero speed increase — save the money and go 7 kW.

On 7 kW single-phase

Empty to full: about 8 hours (Standard) / 11 hours (Long Range)

On 22 kW three-phase

Same as 7 kW on Standard; about 7 hours 30 min on Long Range

Daily top-up

50 km added in about 1 hour 25 min on 7 kW

Our pick for the ZS EV

myenergi Zappi 7 kW

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

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