There is much anticipation building around MG’s second product in India, the ZS EV. It will be India’s second mass produced all-electric vehicle and its unveil has been scheduled on December 5. Bookings for the MG ZS EV will commence from next month onwards and it will see its market launch in January 2020.
The MG ZS EV is expected to be powered by a 150hp electric motor and packs a 44.5kWh lithium-ion battery that’s capable of delivering a claimed range of 335km on the older NEDC test cycle and 262km on the newer WLTP testing procedure. The car takes about 7 hours to charge using a 7kW AC charger, and 40min (from 0-80 percent) using a 50kW DC fast charger.
