MG currently offers three all-electric models in the country and also plans to drive in hybrid models in the times to come.
JSW MG Motor India announced on Tuesday that it had delivered 100 units of its electric vehicles (EVs) on Dhanteras in Delhi-NCR. Currently the company retails three EVs in India – Windsor EV, Comet EV and ZS EV.
MG, a company that traces its roots in India back to 2019, offers a number of electric as well as combustion-engine models. In recent times though, the focus has been on strengthening the all-electric portfolio while also promising the entry of hybrid models soon.
For now though, all eyes are directed towards the Windsor EV that was launched in September alongwith the BaaS or Battery-as-a-Service program. The battery-rental program has been subsequently extended to the Comet EV and ZS EV as well. Has it worked? In September, MG informed that its EVs accounted for 49 per cent of its total sales. The faring of the Windsor EV will be clear when October – the first-full month of sales of the model – are revealed.
