Bit dishonest of the reviewer to conclude and say 'it has covered everything perfectly'. 220-240kms of real world range with no option for larger battery pack is outrageous for a supposed Creta Rival. And more than the resale value, true deterrent in an EV buyers mind is range anxiety. You take that out of equation, then you have a true winner.
I understand what you're trying to say, but range anxiety is something that can never be taken out of equation in an EV's case. I have tested and lived with EVs that have 500km of range as well as cars like the Comet that offer only 160-180km on a full charge. Trust me, if you don't plan things in advance, you suffer from range anxiety in both cases. Otherwise, it's hardly a bother, especially in daily running. The only difference comes when you're doing more than 300km in a day, or plan to go on a road trip in a remote location. Then you might have to take multiple breaks to charge the vehicle in case of vehicle with lower range. However, from my personal experience, I don't prefer taking an EV, irrespective of its range, to an unknown place. It's always a hassle. And I also feel that most EV buyers have come to realise this. If you don't have to do long distances frequently, why obsess over range?
The reason Tesla succeeded is because they were able to make electric cars look like normal cars with great practicality and performance (Electric cars in 90's and 2000's were cosmetically were poor). MG has made Windsor look like a car which screams "I AM AN EV". It looks very ugly to be honest. If the appearance was more like a normal C-SUV, that would have appealed to a lot more people.
Do you think MG’s BaaS subscription model will encourage more buyers to jump on the EV bandwagon?
Excellent Design as well as Product. Congrats, Team MG.
