MG Windsor EV: A Record-Breaking Electric Vehicle Launch
The Indian EV market is heating up, and JSW MG Motor India's September 2024 launch of the Windsor EV has made a significant splash. This wasn't just any EV launch; it marked the debut of MG's innovative Battery as a Service (BaaS) model, a game-changer in EV ownership.
The Windsor EV's success is undeniable. In a mere six months, the automaker sold an astounding 20,000 units, securing the title of India's fastest-selling electric vehicle. This remarkable achievement highlights a growing demand for affordable and accessible EVs.
Windsor EV: Key Features and Pricing
The MG Windsor EV boasts a futuristic design, intuitive tech features, and a spacious cabin. It’s available in two price points: Rs. 13.99 lakh (including battery) and Rs. 9.99 lakh (excluding battery) – ex-showroom prices that make electric mobility more attainable for a wider range of customers.
Rakesh Sen, Director Sales and Marketing, JSW MG Motor India, attributed the success to the car's "exceptional value proposition," highlighting customer appreciation for its design, technology, and affordability.
Comparing Key Indian EVs (Early 2025 Data)
