EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 186 miles for the Ford Puma Gen-E and 208 miles for the MG S5 EV - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV.

Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Ford Puma Gen-E or the MG S5 EV?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Ford Puma Gen-E and 84% for the MG S5 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.
