Planning a round trip

I purchased the MG Comet two months ago, and while it impresses at first glance with its stylish interiors and compact design, the real experience begins after the purchase — and unfortunately, not in a good way. Let’s start with the biggest disappointment: the car does not support DC fast charging. Yes, you read that right — there is no DC socket. This crucial piece of information was conveniently left out during discussions with showroom executives. You can only charge it via AC current, for example, a home socket. So forget about charging at public fast-charging stations during an emergency or a long trip. The so-called “auto-charge” feature? Haven’t seen a single kilometer get “auto-charged” yet. MG claims a 210 km range, but in reality, it barely delivers 150 km—and that's without using AC or music. Turn them on, and the battery drains fast. Planning a round trip to Kolar or Tumkur? Think twice—DC fast charging isn’t even an option, and with only AC charging available at home, you’ll be stuck for 5.5 hours just to recharge.

Wait will be worth! Dont jump to buy!

Wait For 6 Months if you want this! Don't worry, no waiting period to get the car! If you wait perhaps you will get a better deal every six months. Ex showroom price reduced by 1 lac in 6 months from the introductory price. Discounts generally come to the tune of 85k. So wait to get better deal is always there if you want this EV. A good city car though. Highways also it runs upto 150 km, and give it a rest charging for 6.5 hrs. Picks up pace in city faster. Upto 60 km/h climbs faster then after it relaxes. So plan overtaking well in advance if you are in a highway. Elder people may not like getting into and out from rear seat due to entry through front door even though its wider. Suitable for daily commuters of 2 persons and who wants to move faster and zip in city. Keep in mind, a full charge helps a run upto 150 kms. It may run even more but you wont risk it further. Now more options are coming in EV market, so keep a watch before zeroing on Comet now or waits may even help find a better EV or a much discounted Comet. I own it from June 2023 by paying full price, the privilege of using a freshly baked product, Of course there are few niggles, and its expected in a mechanical machine.
