CAN YOU ROAD TRIP THE ‘STANDARD RANGE’ MG4?!

- Thanks for tuning into my video.
Road tripping has a bit of a murky cloud over it when it comes to electric vehicles. Is it possible? Do they have enough range? Can I charge my car? How long will it take? How much will it cost?
The MG4 SE SR is one of the most affordable EV you can buy in the UK with a decent useable daily range. However, as I've proved on my 70mph range test, this vehicle is looking at 160-170 miles in mild climate and one passenger with no cargo, so how will it fair on a road trip way beyond it's battery range?
Join me in this video as I road trip the MG4 SE STD Range near 800 miles to Disneyland Paris and back with fully laden boot, family of 4 adults and contend with English and French charging networks and roads.

Cheap charging, plenty of chargers & easy to use, wide open roads…..then you came back to the UK !
Thank-you so much for this video. We used to enjoy driving holidays to the south of France and I had thought that now that we had gone electric (MG4 SE SR) this would would be unthinkable (at least for a while). This video has shown that it's more than possible, thank-you!
The first petrol engine drivers must have had similar experiences between them-new-fangled petrol stations. 😂
Gorgeous car. The charging infrastructure in France, especially on the toll roads is absolutely top notch. I've been all around France, the Netherlands, Belgium and even down to Spain in my e-208. Which is comparable to the MG4 SR in terms of range and average charging speed. It's definitely possible, but I'm happy to have moved on to an EV with a bigger range and better charging speed (MG4 Trophy ER). The SE LR being just £2,500 extra its clearly the 'goldilocks' choice, offering 30kW faster average charging speed and 60 miles extra range. That makes a huge difference on a road trip when you're doing multiple charges in succession.
Awesome vid, thanks for posting.🙌👍
I did a similar trip to Paris last August, just over 700 miles from Berkshire shortly after getting delivery of the car. I even took the scenic route as I was the one doing all the driving and my daughter next to me was passenger princess.
Excellent video. France is really well served with charging hubs,at least on the popular routes.
Thanks for the video
I’ve just done Disneyland Paris this week in our Cupra Born from Merseyside, 1100 miles total. Tesla superchargers were my preferred option (with a months subscription) along A16 as they are all at Auchan supermarkets and around 30p per kWh except on way home where we stopped at the Fastned at Aire de Wancourt on A1, fantastic and only 49p per kWh. I used ABRP and it was excellent.
Nice one . Very informative.
Thanks - that is reassuring given we've just bought an MG4!
Great video. A few MG4s on the journey too.
Nice video. We drove to Chamonix from the midlands 18 months ago, in a standard range mg zs, it was fine too, quite enjoyed it.
Great video, I miss Paris Disneyland. I love the way you showed us your trip meter as you were driving and the cost breakdown, towards the end of the video. I love the look of your MG4 and I can see that it is an efficient EV. However, my Toyota Prius Excel 2020 PHEV, would do this journey with a much lesser refill stop time and it would cost £65.
Thanks for this, what interested me the most was that I compared this to an almost identical trip I did in my MG4 around New Zealand, the numbers were almost identical to mine. your total average spend was 42.5 p per kWh (88.2 NZ cents). I got away with slightly less (74 cents) but when you take in a per km Road User Charge that electric vehicles are charged in NZ of 7.3 cents per km your price per km worked out identical to mine.
great video thank you for sharing your experience!
Interesting and useful thanks... I have a trophy - and do the occasional 260 mile trip between South Wales and East Anglia. I like the Fastned chargers near Ipswich 😂
An interesting video!! Let’s hope you are able to do it.
I just bought an MG4 long range but I totally agree that it doesn't matter too much what the range is. (As long as it's not ridiculously low) I travel regularly from Aberdeen to Leeds and just need the car to manage the journey in about 2 stops. But 1 extra stop doesn't actually use more time because the total amount of energy consumed is the same however many stops you do. I opted for the long range partly because the fastest charge speed is a slightly increased and because I want to try to avoid moving too much outside the 20-80% battery status. I can also potentially do the journey with 1 stop if needed and I have a little more to play with in cold weather etc.
I love these real world videos you make!
