MG EV Charger
If you are the new proud owner of an MG electric vehicle, you’ll need a quality EV charger to match. Plusrite EV chargers are fully compatible with all MG electric vehicle models from the MY2023 range, as well as the MG HS+EV Hybrid (MY22 range).
Here we’ve summarised the compatibility specifics needed to help with your MG EV charger selection. Our summary includes specifications taken directly from the product brochures for MG’s current models, and the MG Motor Australia website.
MG EV chargers for all models
Plusrite EV chargers will safely and efficiently charge all electric vehicle models currently available from MG, including all variants:
- MG ZS EV (Excite, Essence and Long Range)
- MG4 Electric (Excite 51, Excite 64, Essence 64 and Long Range 77)
- MG4 Electric XPower
- MG HS+EV (Excite and Essence)
It’s important to ensure that your charger is compatible with your MG EV to preserve your investment, and protect yourself from harm.
MG EV charger ports
All MG MY2023 EV models (as well as the MY22 MG HS+EV hybrid) feature an AC charging port, for charging with a Type 2 plug. The MG4 Electric, MG ZS EV and MG4 Electric XPower feature a Type 2 CCS2 charging port, while the MG HS+EV hybrid features a Type 2 AC charging port.
The Type 2 CCS2 is an enhanced version of the Type 2 AC, with two additional power contacts to enable DC fast-charging.
Single and 3-phase MG EV chargers
Plusrite EV chargers have a Type 2 plug, compatible with MG charge ports (Type 2 CCS2 and Type 2 AC), in both our single-phase and 3-phase options.
Our 7.4kW 240V single phase charger has a 7kW AC charging port for ‘everyday’ use or for charging your MG overnight. Our 400V 3-phase charger has 22kW maximum output power (higher than our competitors), which means faster charging for your MG if you have 3-phase power at your home or business. With MG’s efficient CATL® Battery Technology providing optimum energy storage and fast charge times, this is a great partnership if you have the MG4 Electric or the MG4 Electric XPower. This is also great for the Vehicle to Load (V2L) function and utilising your MG as a portable battery pack, a great feature!
Solar MG EV charger
Plusrite EV chargers are fully-compatible with new and existing solar systems! If you are looking to save money and optimise your energy usage, charging your MG with solar power is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution. Set your MG EV charger to solar only, grid power only, or both.
MG EV charger installation
It’s important to be mindful of your vehicle size and specifics of the installation location to ensure that the charger cable will comfortably reach your MG charging port in all scenarios. The size of your space, parking angles, charge port location and the size of your MG are all important things to consider. We have included the location of the charge port and dimensions for all current MG EV models below.
Plusrite EV chargers have a longer 6 metre charging cable, providing reassurance of definite reach and safety, whatever the shape of your space or angle you happen to park. Other manufacturers’ cables are commonly shorter, at 4-5 metres.
Plusrite’s durable high-quality cable can be neatly hung between uses and the appliance can be either wall or pole-mounted. The IP65 patented design case maximises our product lifespan and makes both EV home charger models practical and safe to use in both indoor and outdoor locations, being completely dust-tight and water resistant.
Quality MG EV charger with premium features
A Plusrite EV charger will compliment your MG with its practical features providing an overall safe, convenient and efficient user experience. Both single-phase and 3-phase models include the following features:
- Long 6-metre charging cable: Safe easy reach for all MG models
- IP65 weatherproof rating: Charge your MG safely and install indoors or outdoors (dust and water tight)
- Secure and authorised charging: RFID (on/off) cards for convenient ‘swipe to start’ charging
- Smart charger with wifi/bluetooth: Smart App (schedule, monitor and optimise charging – control remotely)
- SAA approved: Built to Australian Standards and SAA approved (view the certificate here!)

We heavily invest in product innovation to maximise the capacity, usability and durability of our products. Our EV chargers are well-designed, reliable and high-performing making them suitable for residential or commercial installations.
