MG U9 EV Recommended Charge Level
The MG U9 EV uses an LFP battery. The typical recommended charge limit is 100% for daily use.
The key advantage of LFP is the freedom to fully charge the pack to 100% every time with substantially less degradation concerns compared to other chemistries.
Check your owners manual for specific recommendations for the MG U9 EV.
