The ZS EV comes at a running cost of under
Rs 1 per km (calculated up to 100,000 kilometres with preventive maintenance
including parts, consumables, labour and taxes and as on date electricity rates
in Delhi-NCR).
The car also comes with maintenance
packages starting at Rs 7,700 for 3 years. Apart from introducing the MG
eShield, a one-stop solution for ZS EV customers, the company has also entered
a strategic alliance with a company that provides assured resale value and can
be availed by the customer by paying a stipulated amount at the time of
purchase of ZS EV.
This private company shall provide
guaranteed buyback to ZS EV customers at a residual value of 50% upon
completion of three years of ownership.
The MG ZS electric SUV has garnered over
2,800 bookings in 27 days. The number of bookings received for the ZS EV
outpaces the total number of EV cars sold in India in 2019.
MG Motor India will begin ZS EV deliveries
on January 27 across 5 cities – Delhi/NCR, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, and
Hyderabad.
Each ZS EV comes with an on-board cable to
charge anywhere. Customers can also get an AC fast charger installed at their
homes/offices, free of cost, through MG’s association with Delhi-based eChargeBays.
MG Motor has also partnered with Fortum
Charge & Drive India to set up 10 DC 50 kW super-fast charging stations at
select MG showrooms in 5 cities. Additionally, it plans to create an extended
charging network across MG dealerships in select satellite cities along key
routes and provide charge-on-the-go with RSA (Road Side Assistance).
