MG ZS EV Bookings Cross 600 Mark Last Month: Electric Car Sales In India In July 2021
The MG ZS EV achieves the highest sales and booking for the brand in July 2021. The company has received over 600 bookings with 404 customers taking delivery of the ZS EV electric SUV in India.
Rakesh Sidana, Director-Sales, MG Motor India, said, "The Hector and ZS EV have further gained momentum during the month. However, the severe shortage of chips is expected to continue for some time and will lead to supply constraints. While we expect overall consumer demand to rise, we should also remain cautious of the potential threats posed by the third wave."
Price, Variants & Colours
The ZS EV electric SUV is offered in two variants: Excite & Exclusive. They currently retail between Rs 20.99 lakh and 24.18 lakh, ex-showroom (India). The MG ZS EV is currently available in a total of 21 cities including Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai and more.
The ZS EV is available in three colours: Ferris White, Copenhagen Blue and Currant Red.
Electric Powertrain, Charging & Range
The electric SUV is powered by a 3-phase permanent magnet motor paired with a 44.5kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This produces a maximum of 141bhp at 3,500rpm and a peak torque of 353Nm at 5,000rpm offering a maximum driving range of 340km on a single charge.
The charge times for ZS EV via a home charger are rated between 6 to 7 hours for 0 to 80 per cent charge. While a 50kW DC fast-charger takes just 50 minutes to juice up the battery from 0 to 80 per cent.
