"During the 500-mile test, the BYD nearly failed to reach a charging stop, arriving with less range than its display projected, as noted in a CarUp report. MG fared better, but its charging speeds never reached its promised nearly-400 kW charging speed. Tesla's Model Y, by comparison, managed energy calculations precisely and arrived at each stop without issue."
"Charging times from 25% to 80% showed that the MG was the fastest at 17 minutes, while Tesla and BYD were close at 28 and 29 minutes, respectively. Overall efficiency and cost told a different story, however. The Model Y consumed 19.4 kWh per 100 km, compared to 22.2 for MG and 23.9 for BYD. Over the full trip, Tesla's charging costs totaled just £82 thanks to its supercharger network, far below BYD's £130 and MG's £119."
A 500-mile challenge compared the BYD Sealion 7, MG IM6, and Tesla Model Y on range, charging performance, efficiency, and running cost. On paper the Sealion 7 showed higher estimated range and the IM6 promised very fast charging, but real-world results differed. The BYD nearly failed to reach a charging stop and arrived with less range than its display indicated; the MG did not hit its claimed peak charging speeds. Charging from 25% to 80% took 17 minutes for MG, 28 minutes for Tesla, and 29 minutes for BYD. The Model Y averaged 19.4 kWh/100 km versus 22.2 for MG and 23.9 for BYD, and incurred the lowest charging cost at £82 for the trip.
