Lifetime Warranty? MG Windsor EV Pricing Decoded - NDTV Auto | Parth Jindal & Rajeev Chaba Interview

[@ArvindKumarA]

Man, this journalist is amazing! Fantastic job covering all the questions so professionally!

[@Anjuraj]

Mugdha Mishra.. a brilliant auto journalist.. she picked up right questions that any consumer would like to ask and she got them answered from top MG officials. Great Interview and great questions . Thanks. Big Fan . Hybrid was out of syllabus question and it was much required.

[@Religionfree]

MG had introduced revolutionary market strategy with BaaS … it’s amazing .. MG knows the pulse & aspirations of the people here.

Amazing company great strategies and definitely Gamechanger MG Windsor EV

[@TonuAlex]

The anchor was so fabulous.. she really asked the best questions.. never seen an auto journalist (man/woman) ask so many valid and interesting questions.. just loved it.. More power to you.. ❤

This battery service packages strategy will work efficiently or not ,let see

[@shivraok]

If same is worked with 55 kw battery vechile .. it would be game changer

[@administrator8]

We need battery swapping centers like nio motors in china and norway

[@rajoosolanky780]

MG definitely has a Winner ton hand. It's a terrific package offer to own an EV Car. Safe money & save environment. All the best Mr. Jindal & Mr. Rajeev. Job well done. It certainly going to be Run for the Money for Tiago, Nexon, Punch, EVs

[@MrKhabbu]

It is too early to say this. Few things are worth knowing 1) You are paying much higher price for the body of the car. 2) Life Time Warranty on battery is only for the First Owner . In other words it is Non Transferable. 3) Free Charging is only for first year of service. After that you have to pay. 4) You are still paying 3.50 rupees per Km for actual running of the car . In other words more you run more you pay. 5) Buy back at 60% means you have to sell it back to company only. 6) Batteries ownership is always with the company This is not a new concept but inspired by similar scheme by Mahindra 20 plus years ago. Where in you lease a battery and pay on monthly basis . Tata Tiago base and mid models are available at 8.99 lakhs to 10 lakhs and with battery included . So due diligence is required to make a decision.

[@rvr1111]

Can anyone throw light for exchange for scrapping an old car? Is MG giving any additional discount for the same with a scrapping certificate

[@samirshingre9825]

I am having one of the WORST experience of buying this CAR from Tejpal motors pvt ltd , Thane , they are master in giving wrong information and take the customers for granted. Anyone planning , please avoid going to them I had a BAD CUSTOMER service from that team.

[@tarunarora7897]

Informative discussion, the last question lasts the longest 😊

[@MrAnkeet]

MG very well played extremely great strategy for the Indian comsumer

[@jaynair3164]

As per reports china is restricting passing on latest electric vehicle technologies(say,battery know how ) to other countries.This is a Wooling car.Does that mean we still pay for substandard battery technology?

[@brajeshsingh2391]

plus Chinese electronic devices have been repeatedly found to contain malware and spyware. This car has a central display system. So good points. The technology needs to be foolproof and safe. Indian manufacturer will not "trick" customers and US EU standards are too stringent for their car makers to take any risk.

[@hurryshorts]

Parth Jindal is a handsome man. He should be listed in GQ list

[@kshitizaggarwal4402]

Always great to hear Ashwin ...very articulate😂

[@entdocbengaluru]

What about Bharat NCAP test report?

[@sachithvincent]

@1:51 how is it Rs 1 per month... The electricity board charges approx Rs 7 per unit... To charge the 38kWh car Battery to 100% you need around 40 units (kWh) of electricity. Do not misguide please provide actual facts.

[@finehumanbeing3506]

In some.states it's more than seven and goes upto ₹10 per unit.

[@srs.shashank]

looks like a good pricing model to make EVs more accesible

[@RAJBHAVYA1]

MG is not sharing the detailed information around this Lifetime warranty and the battery EMI, need clarity on the following: 1) The so called "maintenance contract" amount to avail the lifetime warranty? 2) Any minimum monthly amount for the battery rental that has to be paid even if you dont drive your MG vehicle?

[@Journeythejoy]

And their varient price too

[@MrKhabbu]

First and foremost catch is that the Lifetime Warranty is only available for the First Owner and is Non Transferable . Of course there will be a minimum charge per month and even if it is not there still 3.50 rupees per Km is a substantial amount you pay for the running. After First year charging will not be free.

[@VikasBaliyan]

long range version with 60 kWh battery/AWD option must also be launched

[@lovekapil4062]

Another interesting question could be, will MG offer BAAS in the existing EV (comet & ZS)? I mean buying a Comet EV at 3.5 lakhs and then paying 3.5 rupees per kilometres would be mind blowing!

[@MrKhabbu]

Yes that is best that can happen. Even in this case they are asking way too much money for the metal shell and tires . If they offer this shell for 3 lakhs then it makes more sense.

[@rajeevrp1500]

Is the battery rental lifetime?

[@siddhantdas33]

It's not a rental. It's Battery as a Loan.. you will own the battery after paying off the cost.

[@rajeevrp1500]

@@siddhantdas33 Details not mentioned anywhere on public platforms like after paying how much the rental will stop.

[@siddhantdas33]

@@rajeevrp1500 Yeah - that's a problem. You need to go to the dealership to understand or watch some other reviews from multiple youtubers. Overall I found, buying with the battery pack to be a better option.. as at the end of paying for the battery you own it anyway. But honestly - this car is a much better deal than any other EV available at this price point.

[@strongthunderlightening4978]

Do you have any written steps to handle/ dispose safely old used batteries to save environment. Any report on pollution checks while manufacturing batteries ??

[@MrKhabbu]

One line instruction just handover the old battery to the company. In reality these batteries are differently made. They are made of individual cells and not all the cells go wrong at a time . The bad ones can be replaced and battery is again new . The bad cells can be recycled by having authorized or designated collection centers which in turn can assimilate them at one place and recycle it . These batteries after they have degraded to less than 80% can be very well used in household power storage in replacement of lead acid batteries or inverters or generators or UPC . With or without Solar panels which means life time use .

Renting battery is really good option... i have mg zs ev... if this option was given for me, i would have given... this will reduce my upfront car cost and lifetime warranty and pay based on your usaage... ❤

[@MrKhabbu]

Not so fast. Relook 1) The cost of the shell is very high . 2) Free Charging is only for first year . 3) Lifetime Warranty is available only to the first owner. 4) You pay 3.50 rupees per kilometer for operating it. The more you run the more you pay .

you’re right

[@dgupta42]

Car actually hai kitne ki?

[@gauravpatil9536]

Definately better than tata

[@MrKhabbu]

Bhau Nakko. Tiago ghe ani see the difference. For 9.99 lakhs you get complete car with battery and get a warranty of 1,60,000 kms or 8 years whichever is earlier . For running MG Windsor for 1,60,000 kms you will end up paying 5,28,000 rupees ( 1,60,000 x 3.30) If you drive 30,000 kilometers per year you will drive 1,60,000 kilometers in 5.33 years.

[@raviteja75]

How do consumer pay Rs3.50/Km? Through the app?

[@Journeythejoy]

You have to pay minimum 5250 per month It's doesn't matter you drive or not

[@MrKhabbu]

The driving kilometer’s will be monitored through the software installed in the car and will be tallied by the charging stations at which you charge

[@vigneshrheumatologist2751]

U can’t be totally out of Chinese goods !! Tatas battery acquisition was from china only. Ur smart phones electric goods all are Chinese !! Mg has gone for 80 percent localisation!! Share holders are 51 percent Indian! Slowly the shares will build up !!

[@pavneetsingh9161]

Some people on various channels are mentioning that MG has set a minimum run of 1500km per month for the car but Rajeev Chaba himself gave example of a consumer running 1000km per month. So is 1500 km per month figure a myth or is there an official word from MG ?

[@MrKhabbu]

Pape look at the per kilometer running cost of 3.50 rupees per kilometer and not minimum kilometers. The more you drive more you pay . Minimum run is immaterial here because all cost is covered under the 3.50 rupees per kilometer charge .

[@pavneetsingh9161]

@@MrKhabbu If you are driving less than 1500km a month and still have to pay for 1500km(as per people's claim) then it becomes deal breaker. How can you say its immaterial ?

[@MrKhabbu]

@@pavneetsingh9161 Rajeev Chaba did not say that there is a minimum run set. He just gave a calculation that if you drive 1000 Km per month you pay 3500 rupees as battery rent. Please revisit the video and listen to what he is saying.

Only RS 10 -12 Lac + Max Rs 5 per KM Cost .....Which one U Select ....???? But ...I wait personally WINDSOR EV Long Range ....50 KW (350 + KM)

[@MrKhabbu]

Please go 2 steps deeper and you will know the real meaning of the offer. The base price of the vehicle at 9.99 lakhs without batteries is high. Only one year is free charging. Lifetime Warranty is for the First Owner and Non Transferable. The biggest cost is 3.50 rupees per kilometer of running you pay to the company. If you drive 30,000 kilometers per year you will end up paying 1,05,000 rupees per year and for 1,60,000 kms you will pay 5,60,000. And at 30,000 kms per year it will take you 5.33333 years to complete 1,60,000 kilometers.

[@analaarunk]

Still Maruti will dominate. Unless they make car price to 5 lakhs no one will invest on EV. They have to sort out the resale, maintenance cost and reliability. More they have to sort out about the charging anxiety.

[@2553505]

You can't say that EV is enviornment friedly. The waste disposal will be an issue. Also the battery import will be from China, and there you are encouraging your enemy to grow. This particular brand MG is also a Chinese brand. And overall, the reliability is less. Had the same car were from Suzuki, Indians would have accepted it with four hands. They are not saying what is the full price of battery. Typically in a finance option there are four factors. Your Principal, interest, tenure and rate of interest. In this case the EMI is based on usage, as against time in any other leasing. Almost 99% of public are poor in financing arithemetics. So they get confused and a bad reputation will come to MG for this. Wishing them all the best

Given our infra EVs will never be a success in a 3rd world country like Bharat. In home charging, it's like running 5 1.5t ACs simultaneously. Now add the initial cost of the car, battery replacement/rental/service charges etc. Do the math. Hybrid is the future.

[@sagy1991]

Using Nexon EV for past 2.5 years. I am an early adoptor. No issues till the date with car or charging infrastructure. Drove around 40K km in 2.5 years. There used to be issues like network issues, but with the increasing number of charging stations those issues have almost become negligible. Number of charging stations have become 5x on main highways I drive. So, I don't think any honest EV adoptor will ever complain about EVs. Infact, I am thinking to purchase only EV in future.
