It's an ideal condition. How much on practical scenario?

I think using the ac and the headlamps would lead to 225 kms max...also considering acceleration differences.

563 on a single charge is very impressive. We'd have been even more interested if you'd have tested in the real conditions. Btw, good work.

This is a brand new vehicle . What matters is , what will be the range after the battery is 2 years old ?

Hit like if u want this challenge with nexon ev and altroz ev✌️✌️

This man has another level of patience and focus

What will be the range in normal driving with ac and 4 people on board?

Road trip on an electric car gives me anxiety

We love to see more 1 charge challenges for all EV vechices! Awesome !

Congrats to Autocar India and MG for the great Acheivement! I would also like Autocar to do a more "realistic test scenarios" on EV's to give potential buyers and users a good reason to switch from fossil fuels to EVs I have a few ideas/suggestions from my side to for what I call "realistic test scenarios". Usage of accessories like AC/heaters, Headamps, infotainment, navigation should not be restricted. Mention charging station location on highway and time taken for charging if applicable. 1. City drive test - A typical rush hour commute of 40-50 kms 2. A Highway drive test - A 200km commute maitaining a minimum highway speed (eg. 60kmph) as well as adhering to speed limits where mentoned on the highway.

The sweat. Oh my God. That's some dedication.

It's awesome to cover 563 kms on a single charge of an EV!! Really appreciating!!

I wonder how Tesla could perform having a range of 627 km

Am a Tata Nexon EV owner. Have driven this car 5000+ KMs till now with more of highway driving. Am sharing my experience with EV. Mileage to be considered for Tata Nexon EV is only 150 KMs with AC on and drive freely like petrol cars, it is nowhere near 312 KMs as claimed by Tata. On drive mode, I get 190 KMs on limiting my speed to 70-80 KMs/hr. with AC on, only driver (no load) on highway. Forget about the sport mode, have never dared to test it! Battery onboard AC to DC charging module is to accept only 3.7kW, Hyundai Kona has 7.4kW. Charging time reduces by half and company can go upto 11kW charging easily without much additional cost. A Tata representative have been appointed to all Tata dealers to promote EVs. Sadly not the one expected from Tata, this guy also went on assuring of getting a minimum of 240 KMs. on highway with AC on and full load. Difference between the real world and ARAI standards mileage should be considered to 50% of what ARAI standards give to EVs! Nexon EV has been given only a single parking brakes option (hand brakes), and not 2-3 braking options like in petrol car. I feel this is a major safety compromise made by Tata. On putting off car, it automatically switches to neutral mode making it necessary you apply parking brakes else, the car might move! Nexon doesn't have a "hill lock" function, on gradients you have to be very careful, as you release brakes car starts moving backwards! On comfort levels car is good. There are minor issues which I am sure will get corrected in next service. Tata dealers suck. I bought car from Puneet motors, Malad, Mumbai. This dealer didn't give a test drive inspite of umpteen requests made; went all out to get full advance from me while the car was yet in Tata Motors, Pune. Activated my car sim afyer about 45 days of buying the car! Forget about many small issues like no signed copy of invoice, chassis no. on fasTag, 5 no. alloy wheels mentioned in invoice whereby you get only 4... I have been to lots of harrassment by this dealer right from I purchased this car. Tata doesn't seem to have control on their dealers. If we compare with Mercedes who have launched an EV recently with a battery pack of 80kW, claiming only 240+ KMs. on full battery. Tata Nexon has only 30kW battery! Tata should go the German way. After all this is the impression we all have for Tata, an "honest" company. They make Mercedes Benz for India! By what I have learnt from my first EV, my next EV would be: 1) 1000 KMs mileage claimed by company (so that I can get atleast 450-500 KMs. "Drive like petrol cars" mileage; 2) 0-100 KMs/hr. in about 7 sec. in normal drive (Nexon gives 9.9 in sports mode, drive mode is super boring); 3) 11kW onboard AC charging capability module, 3.7kW in Nexon takes whole 10 hrs. to charge!; 4) OTA software updates, why should I visit service center just for an update?

I still feel MG ZS EV is a tad expensive. It would be really nice is AUTOCAR INDIA would do the exact same test with TATA NEXON EV but with Real life conditions.

This is how we have to keep the range in cass of emergency.

Please make range test of nexon ev. Please, we are waiting for you

please do with all other ev^s

My mg zs ev shows in a full charge🔋🔌⚡ Eco mode: 369 km Normal mode: 335 km Sports mode: 318 km With AC, Eco mode: 332 km Normal mode: 302 km Sports mode: 286 km In normal driving I use N mode with kers 2 on it with ac, I am normally hard on the pedal so it gives around 285 km on a single charge. I haven't planned of taking this to long drive yet. But I am absolutely satisfied how it takes off and leaves all the cars behind. Built quality, features, looks is soul touching. 😍😘🥰😋😛😜

33 kmph speed

Can there be a much practical testing done too? Meaning, with AC, and perhaps using headlights when required, audio system, and occasional cruising at 120kmph?

563 KM on EV is really grate , its more or less equal to a full tank petrol car, if MG installing charging points at least every 100 km, this car will be a big boom in India

If I ride it below mentioned points were been checked and reviewed 1) Terrain base ( Hill stations, off road, clumsy Road and on road) 2) Climate control (bcouz where battery consumes power bases on climatic conditions 3) single drive and full passengers drive ( weight matters for Ev) 4) Driving mode ( Normal mode, city mode and sports mode. 5) Full electric utility drive ( using GPS, fog lamps, head lights, speakers,and with Ac)

I feel suffocated 😂😂

Finally! Do this with every other electric cars♥️

you people have gone a greater length for showcasing the power of EVs Kudos Autocar India

@Autocar India - I'm curious to know if the steering wheel locked once the battery drained completely? You wouldn't advise on extracting everything out of the battery on driving conditions, right? What if you were down-hill while that happened?

1. Is there any regular battery as in petrol/Diesel cars? 2. Tesla cars require some oil to be replaced. Is there any motor oils to be replaced? 3. After 2 lakh kms, how much battery degradation we can expect?

Hey. Really curious to know. After that thing ran out of juice, how did you guys manage to get it moving again? I mean did you call for a recharge van and wait for an hour, did you put the vehicle on a flat bed truck, or did you guys actually manage to let someone allow you to use their power socket for charging and wait for 12 hours before the battery was charged again?!

Wow! Though it achieved this in eco mode now. It will definitely improve in the future.

563km? Unreal, unbelievable

very commendable work.But people are really interested in knowing the range with the AC on.

Tata nexon ka bhi aise he karna

Not using the A/C is a matter of choice, but not using headlights is a safety issue. So you recommend driving in Eco Mode with KERS on Setting 1 (low)?

For city rides, we got around 245-255kms but we only got 210kms range while traveling from kerala to coimbatore via pollachi road. Thank god , brookesfield mall, Coimbatore has an ev charging station. Otherwise we would have to take a room in coimbatore and charge our car in that hotel(if the hotel allows,lol🤣) which would approximately take 13-14 hours with portable charger available with the car.

34 km/hr quite a patient guy

No one's going to drive that slow on the highway. But it's such a beautiful car 😊

Do this with Hyundai kona and Tata nexon

pls do the same with Nexon ev.....

That milestone was a masterpiece 😂

Real challenge is in the winter season.

Very impressive range indeed.. Your patience & heat endurance during this 550+ km drive is also commendable! Good job, Autocar 👍 And congratulations to MG for coming up with such a futuristic yet practical product. 👏

I own Nexon ev. I am getting 200 aprox on ac..and 250 without ac

Pls do the same thing with Tata nexon or hunydai kona

So in real world, with passengers, with ac On , we can expect 250-300 km at max. That's enough for most of us. And it have to be, as we won't have any other options real soon.

Amazing video! Liked it a lot! 👍👍👍💪

Hope to buy this beauty one day that blue colour looks 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Awesome video and Please mention the speed u have maintained

What was the pace that you were driving steadily. Average speed. With use of AC, audio or infortainment system how much will be the expected range.

Great attempt, Congratulations Autocar & MG for the record ! It really helps in understanding the true potential of this EV, but wish the AC was ON to have a real life figure that a day to day user can get. Looking forward to real life numbers!!

Please do the same with nexon ev

Plz make a video on nexon ev range test

We need charging station in atleast 200km range and battery's need to be charge faster 15 to 20 min

Kudos your dedication, patience and good work . This also tells, one has to be patient and technique on how to get better , longer range with an EV. Simply if you put sport mode, too much acceleration or braking, no matter how big/capacity, then range will come down drastically. It tells how efficient the driver. I don't suggest the ideal situation, but in really, if you can extract 90% specified range, that would be super

Great going dude..kudos to your determination... Can we put only the ac on blower mode during hypermilling..that way I feel it wont affect the aerodynamics

Do this test with 2021 mg zs ev

Thanks to that man for his hardwork

This is incredible! Congratulations, team! How much can we expect in normal driving? Like using A/c and headlights.

Do range test on Hyundai kona electric.

Considering the actual and real time scenarios like turning on AC and going at different speeds and terrains, if it can cover 300kms it will be an absolute winner...

Do the same test with tata nexon electric

I guess when sedate driving one could do about 300kms.

78.1 Watt hr/km , Nexon EV with aha cruise control does 40 Watt hr/km at 40KMPH

Appreciate the effort 👏👏👏. But The exact conditions of driving in a hectic traffic or a long drive with 4 members would give us the needed figures and help us decide to go for it or not.

but in a true fashion of range test you should have atleast 3 people in the car with sufficient luggage and with the economic speed suggested by the car(in case of ZS 80 kmph) then it would be an actual record .....it will give more anxiety to people with improper knowledge...

Superb

Congrats to Autocar for this immense success 👍🎉 it also give driving info if we get low battery in ev..👍😃

Do the same with the Tata Nexon EV. It will make for a nice comparison.

This is the future. Kudos to team autocar India and team mg

Please do same range test for the hyundai Kona and Tata Nexon ev

Problems lies in charging in practical world scenario...I mean how many charging stations does MG Motors gonna place on roads ... especially highways !! There is the real answer to any electric car or vehicles in our country's roads...let's hope 4 the best

I would be more cool when company offers half way swapable and half way unswapable batteries...

Please do a realistic one charge comparo in real world environment for all the electric cars in the country. Will help prospective ev buyers. Thanks

First of all congratulations team AutoCar India.. I believe as you guys said, the driving mode was in ECO ,but can you say what was the cruising speed ? And with occupants,some bootspace filled, AC turned on the achieved range would drastically change isn't?

Please do one with nexon ev but in city with traffic, breaking, and idealing

These figures were under ideal conditions but what about real world figures?

Really awesome.. One single charge 563km.unbelievable..

we need another video on normal daily drive range,nice video thank you

Please do the same #onechargechallenge for hyundai kona and Nexon EV

560km on single charge 😱

At what speed you was driving this electric car??

why don't hector come with solar charging on the top, so that while driving the baterry can charge up ... in this they have to use thin solar sheet if possible . so that it doesn't effect its looks

Nobody will drive without an air conditioner in their car and will speed a little. This was not a fair challenge.

We want this kinda video for every ev

563 km in a single charge is a good number...

Modern problems require modern solution🔥

A milestone for you 563 Ev is the future

Do a Nexon next, make India proud

Do the same with Tata nexon ev please

Please do the same testing for Nexon EV

What about the speed?

Can you guys do the same challenge for tata nexon ev

Considering it has a battery of 44.5KwH, it would have consumed Rs.310 of Electricity on full charge. For that it ran a 540 Km. So it comes to approx 57 Paise Per KM. In real world, at mid age of its battery life i assume it would give somewhere of 200 KM of real word range. This would still mean Rs. 1.5 per KM. An SUV of same its size consumes Rs.5/KM of Diesel. A yearly drive of 15,000 can roughly save Rs.1,50,000 initially. But is it worth to pay upfront cost of Rs.20 lacs....i think the day these vehicles reach at par with ICE vehicles in terms of price, would be the time when real world will start showing interest on mass levels.

Please same test on Tata Nexon ev too...

Tata did the same challenge. But this one looks promising with the range. Edit: no one would drive this way by turning off ac and squeezing the last mile out of car the whole journey.

That's impressive, in real life it will surely give upto 400 km possibly, please do it the same with kona and have a comparison ready for the customers

On a brighter side, we now know how much we can drive an EV on a single charge on the highway. But on the other side, the driving conditions are way too much ideal. I mean driving a economical speeds is fine but driving without window down in the hot sun its difficult. For long journeys on cars, IC engines are still preferable for now.

What speed did you maintained?

What speed did you maintain??

Plz do this with tata nexon ev also..
