Range, Battery, and Charging of the MG IM5:

• Range is rated at 490 km on the WLTP cycle for the Standard Range, 710 km for the Long Range and 575 km for the Performance.
• The Standard Range uses a 75 kWh (gross) lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, while the Long Range and Performance use a 100 kWh (gross) nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery on an 800-volt architecture.
• On the 100 kWh cars, DC fast charging peaks at 396 kW, and a charge from 10% to 80% takes about 17 minutes on a 350 kW or faster charger.
• The Standard Range peaks at 153 kW and needs about 26 minutes from 10% to 80%, and every version has an 11 kW onboard AC charger.
