Frequently asked questions
What are the Citroën ë-Berlingo and MG ZS EV like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 136 miles for the Citroën ë-Berlingo and 136 miles for the MG ZS EV - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Citroën ë-Berlingo or the MG ZS EV?
The MG ZS EV is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 39 mm narrower than the Citroën ë-Berlingo. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 591 mm of total clearance for the MG ZS EV and about 552 mm of total clearance for the Citroën ë-Berlingo. The Citroën ë-Berlingo also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Citroën ë-Berlingo or the MG ZS EV?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Citroën ë-Berlingo and 84% for the MG ZS EV. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. The Citroën ë-Berlingo has the longer battery warranty at 8 years, versus 7 for the MG ZS EV.
