Recently, British carmaker, MG Motor announced that it would be unveiling its first all-electric vehicle in India on the 5th of December. This new vehicle will be called the ZS EV and it will be powered by an all-electric, eco-friendly powertrain, that would provide an impressive range of over 350-400 kms on a single charge. Once launched, the ZS EV will take on the Hyundai Kona in the mid-range electric crossover segment. Expect the prices of the MG ZS EV to start from anywhere between INR 20-25 Lakhs.

In terms of specifications, MG Motor hasn’t revealed the exact specifications yet, but we believe that the new ZS EV will be getting a similar chassis set-up as its petrol counterpart, which is available in other countries. However, the SUV will now be getting a new all-electric powertrain, that could include a single electric motor that produces over 148 HP and 350 Nm of peak torque for the front axle. All this power should be enough to propel the vehicle from 0 – 50 kmph in just 3.1 seconds. Also, the manufacturer states that the ZS EV can travel almost 430 kilometres on a single charge and its battery can be charged up to 80% in just 30 minutes using a fast charger.
