MG S5 EV Lux charging cost & time
| Scenario | Energy | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public DC 20% → 80% | 37.2 kWh | 27 minutes | $28.64 |
| Public DC 0% → 100% | 62 kWh | 1 hours 9 minutes | $47.74 |
| At home (AC) 20% → 80% | 37.2 kWh | 5 hours 19 minutes | $11.06 |
MG S5 EV Lux charging time by charger power
How long the MG S5 EV Lux takes to charge at different charger power levels, capped by its own onboard limits.
| Charger | Power | Charge | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard outlet | 2.2 kW | 0% → 100% | 28 hours 11 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 8 hours 51 minutes |
| Public AC | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 8 hours 51 minutes |
| DC fast | 150 kW | 10% → 80% | 31 minutes |
AC rows assume constant charging power and a 0% to 100% charge. Real times vary with the onboard charger, temperature, and the charger you use.
The DC fast row (10% to 80%) is anchored to a measured charging time for this model, so it reflects the real charging curve. Times still vary with temperature and conditions.
Charging speed
Based on measured data, the MG S5 EV Lux charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 31 minutes, peaking at around 139 kW. Holds ~139 kW to ~46%.
The MG S5 EV Lux is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 27 minutes (ultra-fast DC).

Battery care
This car uses an LFP battery, which tolerates routine charging to 100%. Charging full now and then is fine and even helps the car read its charge level accurately.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 227 km of range for $28.64. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $43.29 | $14.64 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $51.16 | $22.51 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $62.96 | $34.32 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $74.77 | $46.12 |
| > 2500 cc | $90.51 | $61.86 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and RON95 at $3.46/L. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
