MG’s Battery Rental Program

If you opt for MG’s battery rental program in which you can essentially pay for the battery as per your usage, the WIndsor EV will start from Rs 9.99 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom pan-India). This means that when you buy the car, you only pay for the car and not the battery pack. The cost of the battery pack is charged as a rental, which for the Windsor EV is Rs 3.5 per km. However it is important to note that you will still need to pay additionally for charging the battery of your EV.
