Before buying a charger, you must decide which socket you'll charge from. This is the most important decision because it determines charging power and compatibility. Charging from domestic socket (230V) Power: 3.7 kW (16A, single-phase) Charging time: MG4 Standard (51 kWh): ~13-14 hours (0-100%) MG4 Comfort/Luxury (64 kWh): ~17-18 hours (0-100%) For whom: Emergency charging, very low daily mileage (<30 km/day) Warning: 20% of domestic sockets have faulty installations (lack of grounding, reversed phases). Most reputable chargers won't work with such problems. Charging from industrial socket (CEE) Power: 6.6 kW (Standard) or 11 kW (Comfort, Luxury, XPower) Socket types: CEE 16A or 32A Charging time: MG4 Standard (51 kWh): ~7-8 hours at 6.6 kW MG4 Comfort/Luxury (64 kWh): ~6 hours at 11 kW For whom: Regular home charging, full utilization of car's capabilities Don't know what you have at home? Contact us or choose Q11 with adapters (for Comfort/Luxury/XPower versions) or Q74 with adapters (for Standard version) – you'll be able to charge from both 230V socket (slower) and CEE (faster). Charging Specification AC Charging (alternating current) Version AC Power Type Time (0-100%) Standard 6.6 kW Single-phase 7-8 hours Comfort 11 kW Three-phase 6 hours Luxury 11 kW Three-phase 6 hours XPower 11 kW Three-phase 6 hours Important note: MG4 Standard has single-phase onboard charger (6.6 kW), so even if you plug it into 11 kW wallbox, it will only draw 6.6 kW. Comfort, Luxury, and XPower versions have three-phase charger (11 kW). DC Charging (direct current) Version DC Power Time (10-80%) Connector Standard 88 kW 35-40 min CCS2 Comfort 140 kW 26-35 min CCS2 Luxury 140 kW 26-35 min CCS2 XPower 140 kW 26-35 min CCS2 Public DC networks in Europe: Ionity (350 kW) Shell Recharge (150-350 kW) Fastned (150-300 kW) Tesla Supercharger open (250 kW) Charging from 10% to 80% costs around €20-30 at public DC stations. Which Ampere Point Charger to Choose? Charger choice depends on which MG4 version you have. Key difference: Standard version only has 6.6 kW AC, while Comfort, Luxury, and XPower versions have 11 kW AC. For MG4 Standard (6.6 kW AC) MG4 Standard has 6.6 kW onboard charger (single-phase) – for optimal charging you need 7.4 kW charger. Q74 (mobile charger 7.4 kW) Features: Power: 7.4 kW (3-phase 32A, CEE socket) Full charge: ~7-8 hours (MG4 Standard) Integrated cable (5 m) Variant with adapters: also charges from 230V socket (3.7 kW) Mobile app Charging times: From CEE socket (6.6 kW): ~7-8 hours (0-100%) From 230V socket (3.7 kW): ~13-14 hours (0-100%) Price: https://www.amperepoint.pl/products/portable-charger-q74-32a-7-4kw-type-2-display-bag-included-wifi P72 (mobile charger 7.4 kW) Features: Power: 7.4 kW (3-phase 32A, CEE socket) Full charge: ~7-8 hours (MG4 Standard) Simpler operation, LCD display Charging times: Same as Q74 Price: https://www.amperepoint.pl/products/portable-charger-32a-7-2kw-type-2-display-bag-included-red-cee Difference Q74 vs P72: Both are mobile and offer 7.4 kW. Main difference: Q74 with adapters can also charge from 230V socket, P72 requires CEE socket. Q74 has mobile app. Check product descriptions for details. ❌ Q11/P11 (11 kW) – NOT for MG4 Standard MG4 Standard only has 6.6 kW AC, so you won't fully utilize 11 kW chargers. You'll overpay for power you won't use. For MG4 Comfort, Luxury, XPower (11 kW AC) These versions have 11 kW onboard charger (three-phase) – to fully utilize capabilities you need 11 kW charger. Q11 (mobile charger 11 kW) Features: Power: 11 kW (3-phase 16A, CEE socket) Full charge: ~6 hours (MG4 Comfort/Luxury) Integrated cable (5 m) Variant with adapters: also charges from 230V socket (3.7 kW) Mobile app Charging times: From CEE socket (11 kW): ~6 hours (0-100%) From 230V socket (3.7 kW): ~17-18 hours (0-100%) Price: https://www.amperepoint.pl/products/portable-charger-q11-16a-11kw-type-2-display-bag-included-wifi Variant with adapters: https://www.amperepoint.pl/products/portable-charger-q11-16a-11kw-type-2-display-bag-included-wifi-adapters P11 (mobile charger 11 kW) Features: Power: 11 kW (3-phase 16A, CEE socket) Full charge: ~6 hours (MG4 Comfort/Luxury) LCD display, solid construction Charging times: Same as Q11 Price: https://www.amperepoint.pl/products/portable-charger-p11-16a-11kw-type-2 Difference Q11 vs P11: Both are mobile and offer 11 kW. Main difference: Q11 with adapters can also charge from 230V socket, P11 requires CEE socket. Q11 has mobile app. Check product descriptions for details. ❌ Q22 (22 kW) – NOT for MG4 MG4 in all versions has maximum 11 kW AC, so Q22 charger makes no sense – you'll overpay for power you won't use. FAQ Can I charge MG4 from 230V socket? Yes, you can charge from regular domestic socket (230V, 16A) with 3.7 kW power. Full charge takes 13-18 hours (depending on version). Make sure installation is sound – 20% of domestic sockets have grounding problems or reversed phases. Do I need three-phase installation? For MG4 Comfort, Luxury, and XPower, three-phase installation (CEE socket) is recommended – without it you won't utilize full 11 kW AC power and charging will take much longer. For Standard version, three-phase installation is also recommended but less critical (6.6 kW vs 3.7 kW). Does battery degrade with fast DC charging? Fast DC charging (140 kW) has minimal impact on battery degradation. MG4 has active battery cooling that protects it from overheating. According to Battery Life data, degradation after 50,000 km averages 2-6% (depending on battery chemistry). Summary The MG4 Electric is one of the most cost-effective EVs on the market. Prices start at €30,000, and the Comfort version with 64 kWh battery and 465 km range costs €35,000. It's an excellent choice for those looking for affordable but solid EV for city and medium trips. Our recommendation: Q74 (for MG4 Standard) – if you have version with 51 kWh battery and 6.6 kW AC Q11 (for MG4 Comfort/Luxury/XPower) – if you have version with 64 kWh battery and 11 kW AC Variant with adapters – if you don't have CEE socket yet and want flexibility Key to success: Three-phase installation (CEE socket) is the best investment for MG4 owners. For Comfort/Luxury/XPower versions, charging time drops from 17-18 hours (230V) to 6 hours (CEE), and comfort of use significantly increases.
