Recommended equipment for a MG
Based on the most common MG configuration, Type 2 plug and three-phase charging. Every model page refines it by version.
At home, on a reinforced socket
The simplest way to charge every night: a Green'up socket fitted by an electrician, much safer than a household socket, with the 16 A cable of your MG.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your MG accepts three-phase power: this 32 A Type 2 cable uses its 11 kW on 11 and 22 kW chargers.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your MG charges in single phase, up to 11 kW: this Type 2 cable is all it needs on any charger, in town or at home.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your MG has a Type 1 inlet: this Type 2 / Type 1 cable connects it to public chargers and to wallboxes with a Type 2 socket.
A wallbox at home
A 22 kW three-phase wallbox uses the 11 kW of your MG and will keep up with your next car.
A wallbox at home
A 7.4 kW single-phase wallbox, the most your MG accepts at home, with smart control to charge at off-peak rates.
Good to know about charging a MG
All MG models have a Type 2 plug. Most electric models charge at 11 kW three-phase, but entry-level versions are often limited to 6.6 or 7 kW single-phase.
- MG4: 11 kW three-phase, except the Standard versions, at 6.6 kW single-phase. A 2026 MG4 Premium 64 kWh goes from 20 to 80% in 3h20 at 11 kW, and in 4h58 on a 7.4 kW wallbox.
- ZS EV: 6.6 kW single-phase, 11 kW on one Luxury 72 kWh version. S5 EV: 7 kW.
- MG5, Marvel R, Cyberster, S6 EV, IM5 and IM6: 11 kW.
- Plug-in hybrids: 3.7 kW for the first EHS, 7 kW for the new one.
At 6.6 or 7 kW, a single-phase 7.4 kW wallbox charges at full power. The first EHS charges at its maximum power on a Green'up reinforced socket. For a three-phase MG4, choose an 11 kW wallbox with a three-phase meter.
