3 best use cases of the MG Windsor EV and 11 other observations

Even if the usage of the electric vehicle is as a city car, who wants to charge it all the time?

BHPian Newtown recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I was inquisitive about the MG Windsor EV and went to see it at the showroom.

  1. Externally it looks much bigger in person
  2. The wheels look gigantic. Almost makes it look like a Mars Rover.
  3. The instrument cluster is smaller than some large cell phones. It gets completely lost at some angles.
  4. The quilt-look-finish black seats are overdone and make things look very cramped. Not to mention the huge obstruction between the 2 seats. Felt very claustrophobic.
  5. Having a battery below means thigh support is compromised.
  6. Not a good idea to omit power seats on the passenger side.
  7. Fit and finish was excellent.
  8. Interior materials seem hard wearing although tastes of design and color are subjective.
  9. The boot space is usable and good. Despite the battery, it has some depth to it as well.
  10. No spare in the boot as there is a subwoofer. A spare can be bought as an accessory.
  11. Slightly larger battery MG? Even if the use case is a city car, who wants to be charging it all the time? Real world 300 km is not enough for a day trip to Poona and back.

Best usage:

  1. Home chores within the city
  2. Kids to school & activities
  3. An executive being driven to work in the city would perhaps prefer something a little more let me say "executive"

NOTE - This introductory pricing for battery usage does not sit well. They are not contractually obligating themselves to that pricing for a fixed period like 2 years or 5 years. I specifically asked and they sheepishly told me that this would see an increase. Perhaps they decided to take a leaf out of the book of one of India's leading business houses that employs the same strategy.
