JSW MG Motor India has launched the premium variant of its best-seller electric car MG Windsor EV. The new luxurious ‘MG Windsor EV Pro’ comes with a host of new features and a larger battery.
In this blog, EVJoints brings you an in-depth analysis of the new MG Windsor EV Pro, its battery capacity, range and charging options:
Battery & Range:
The new MG Windsor Pro EV comes with a 52.9 kWh prismatic cell battery which gives a range of 449 km. As compared to cylindrical cells, prismatic cells offer higher energy density, space efficiency & better thermal management.
Battery Warranty:
MG is offering lifetime battery warranty for the first owners of the Windsor EV Pro (applicable for private registration only).
In case of an ownership change, 8 year warranty on the battery will be applicable. Refer to owner’s manual for more details.
Charging:
At a 60 kW DC fast EV charging station, the MG Windsor Pro takes 50 minutes to charge from 20%-80%. Using a 7.4 kW AC home charger, the Windsor Pro takes 9.5 hours to charge from 10%-100%. At public EV charging stations, the car is compatible with CCS2 DC fast charging points and Type 2 slow charging.
The Windsor Pro comes with a free 7.4 kW AC home charger.
Design & Features:
When it comes to the exterior design, the Windsor EV Pro does not feature any major cosmetic changes, since it is essentially a new variant of the Windsor EV. But on the inside, it now comes with two interior themes. The regular Windsor EV came with just all-black interiors. The EV Pro offers the option of a light-coloured interior as well.
