How we calculate this
Charge cost: (Battery kWh x Charge %) / Charging Efficiency x Rate
Your calculation: (64 kWh x 0.60) / 0.90 x EUR 0.1700/kWh = €7.25
Cost per 100 km: 16 kWh/100km x EUR 0.1700/kWh = €2.72
Charging time: 38.4 kWh / 11 kW = 3h 29m
Charging efficiency: 90% for AC home charging (accounts for energy lost as heat during charging)
How Much Does It Cost to Charge a MG MG4 Extended Range?
The MG MG4 Extended Range has a 64 kWh battery pack and an official WLTP range of 450 km on a full charge. To fully charge the battery at home in Slovenia using AC power at the current average electricity rate of EUR 0.1700/kWh, you would pay approximately EUR 12.09. This calculation accounts for a 90% charging efficiency typical of home AC chargers, meaning some energy is lost as heat during the charging process. If you use a DC fast charger, the efficiency improves to approximately 95%, bringing the full charge cost down to about EUR 11.45. However, public DC fast chargers often charge a premium per kWh compared to home electricity rates, so the actual cost at a public station is usually higher. The cost per 100 km of driving in the MG MG4 Extended Range works out to EUR 2.72 at home rates, which is one of the most useful figures for comparing running costs against petrol vehicles.
Charging Cost Breakdown
Here is how the numbers break down for the MG MG4 Extended Range in Slovenia. The usable battery capacity is 64 kWh. At the home AC charging rate of 11 kW, a full charge from empty takes approximately 5.8 hours. Using a DC fast charger rated at 140 kW, the same charge takes roughly 0.5 hours, though charging speed typically slows above 80% state of charge to protect battery health. The electricity cost per kilometre is EUR 0.0272, and at the EU average annual driving distance of 15,000 km, your yearly electricity bill for the MG MG4 Extended Range would be approximately EUR 408.00. Most EV owners charge between 20% and 80% for daily driving, which uses 38.4 kWh and provides about 270 km of range per session. This partial charge costs EUR 7.25 at home.
MG MG4 Extended Range vs Petrol: Running Cost Comparison
One of the strongest arguments for driving an EV is the lower running cost per kilometre. To drive the same 450 km range that the MG MG4 Extended Range achieves on a full charge, a typical petrol car consuming 7 litres per 100 km at EUR 1.50 per litre would cost EUR 47.25. That is 3.9x more expensive than charging the MG MG4 Extended Range at home in Slovenia. Over the course of a year at 15,000 km, the petrol car would cost EUR 1575.00 in fuel, compared to EUR 408.00 in electricity for the MG MG4 Extended Range. That represents an annual saving of EUR 1167.00 by driving electric. Even accounting for potentially higher insurance and purchase costs, the fuel savings alone make a compelling case for switching to an EV, particularly in countries like Slovenia where electricity rates are relatively moderate compared to the EU average.
Tips to Reduce Your EV Charging Costs
There are several practical ways to minimise the cost of charging your MG MG4 Extended Range in Slovenia. First, charge at home whenever possible. Home electricity rates are almost always cheaper than public charging stations, and night-time tariffs can offer savings of 30-50% in some countries. Second, keep your daily charging between 20% and 80% state of charge. This not only extends battery lifespan but also means you are using the most efficient part of the charging curve. Third, if your electricity provider offers time-of-use pricing, schedule your charging for off-peak hours using the MG MG4 Extended Range's built-in charge scheduler. Fourth, consider pairing your EV with a home solar panel system. Solar-generated electricity can bring your per-kWh cost close to zero after the initial installation payback period. Fifth, drive efficiently. Smooth acceleration, moderate speeds on motorways, and using regenerative braking can improve your real-world efficiency well beyond the rated 16 kWh/100km, further reducing your cost per kilometre.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to fully charge a MG MG4 Extended Range in Slovenia?
At the current average electricity rate of EUR 0.1700/kWh in Slovenia, a full charge of the MG MG4 Extended Range's 64 kWh battery costs approximately EUR 12.09 when charging at home with AC power (accounting for 90% charging efficiency). The cost per 100 km of driving is EUR 2.72. Your actual cost depends on your specific electricity tariff and whether you charge at home or at a public station.
How far can a MG MG4 Extended Range go on a single charge?
The MG MG4 Extended Range has an official WLTP range of 450 km on a full charge. In real-world driving conditions, you can typically expect 85-90% of the rated range, which works out to approximately 383-405 km. Factors like motorway speed, cold weather, use of heating or air conditioning, and driving style all affect the actual range you achieve.
Is it cheaper to charge at home or at a public station?
Home charging is almost always cheaper. In Slovenia, the average home electricity rate is EUR 0.1700/kWh, while public DC fast chargers typically charge EUR 0.40-0.70/kWh depending on the network and location. That means a full charge at a public DC station could cost 2-3 times more than charging at home. If you have access to home charging, it is by far the most economical option. Night-time and off-peak tariffs can reduce home charging costs even further.
How much does it cost to drive a MG MG4 Extended Range per year?
Based on the EU average driving distance of 15,000 km per year and the current electricity rate in Slovenia, the annual electricity cost for a MG MG4 Extended Range is approximately EUR 408.00. This assumes home charging at EUR 0.1700/kWh with the MG MG4 Extended Range's rated efficiency of 16 kWh/100km. A comparable petrol car (7L/100km at EUR 1.50/L) would cost approximately EUR 1575.00 per year in fuel.
