The MG MGS5 is a practical electric SUV that suits families after affordable EV credentials without breaking the bank. You're looking at a solid 430km range from the 62kWh battery, which handles most week-to-week driving without range anxiety. The thing worth considering is that MG's charging network in Australia isn't as widespread as Tesla's, so you'll want to check what's available where you live before committing.
