Before buying a charger, you must decide which socket you will charge from. This is the most important decision because it determines charging power and compatibility. Charging from a 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 (missing earth, reversed phases). Most reputable chargers will not work with such problems. Charging from an 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 utilisation of the car's capabilities Don't know what you have at home? Contact us or choose the Q11 with adapters (for Comfort/Luxury/XPower versions) or Q74 with adapters (for Standard version) - you will be able to charge from both a 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: The MG4 Standard has a single-phase onboard charger (6.6 kW), so even if you plug it into an 11 kW charger, it will only draw 6.6 kW. Comfort, Luxury, and XPower versions have a 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 network (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. The key difference: the 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) The MG4 Standard has a 6.6 kW onboard charger (single-phase) - for optimal charging you need a 7.4 kW charger. Q74 (portable charger 7.4 kW) Features: Power: 7.4 kW (single-phase, 32A, CEE socket) Full charge: ~7-8 hours (MG4 Standard) Integrated cable (6 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%) Q74 - 7.4 kW portable charger P72 (portable charger 7.4 kW) Features: Power: 7.4 kW (single-phase, 32A, CEE socket) Full charge: ~7-8 hours (MG4 Standard) Simpler operation, LCD display Charging times: same as Q74 P72 - 7.4 kW portable charger Difference Q74 vs P72: both are portable and offer 7.4 kW. Main difference: Q74 with adapters can also charge from a 230V socket, P72 requires a CEE socket. Q74 has a 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 will not be able to fully utilise an 11 kW charger. You would be paying for power you cannot use. For MG4 Comfort, Luxury, XPower (11 kW AC) These versions have an 11 kW onboard charger (three-phase) - to fully utilise their capabilities you need an 11 kW charger. Q11 (portable charger 11 kW) Features: Power: 11 kW (three-phase, 16A, CEE socket) Full charge: ~6 hours (MG4 Comfort/Luxury) Integrated cable (6 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%) Q11 - 11 kW portable charger Q11 with adapters P11 (portable charger 11 kW) Features: Power: 11 kW (three-phase, 16A, CEE socket) Full charge: ~6 hours (MG4 Comfort/Luxury) LCD display, solid construction Charging times: same as Q11 P11 - 11 kW portable charger Difference Q11 vs P11: both are portable and offer 11 kW. Main difference: Q11 with adapters can also charge from a 230V socket, P11 requires a CEE socket. Q11 has a mobile app. Check product descriptions for details. Q22 (22 kW) - NOT for MG4 The MG4 in all versions has a maximum of 11 kW AC, so the Q22 makes no sense - you would be paying for power you cannot use. FAQ Can I charge the MG4 from a 230V socket? Yes, you can charge from a regular domestic socket (230V, 16A) at 3.7 kW. A full charge takes 13-18 hours depending on version. Make sure the installation is sound - 20% of domestic sockets have earthing problems or reversed phases. Do I need a three-phase installation? For MG4 Comfort, Luxury, and XPower a three-phase installation (CEE socket) is recommended - without it you will not utilise the full 11 kW AC and charging will take considerably longer. For the Standard version a 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. The 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 is an excellent choice for those looking for an affordable but solid EV for city and medium-distance driving. Our recommendation: Q74 or P72 (for MG4 Standard) - if you have the version with 51 kWh battery and 6.6 kW AC Q11 or P11 (for MG4 Comfort/Luxury/XPower) - if you have the version with 64 kWh battery and 11 kW AC Variant with adapters - if you do not have a CEE socket yet and want flexibility Key to success: a 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 the convenience of daily use increases significantly.
