DELHI - JALANDHAR IN THE MG ZS EV

foreign [Music] for environmentalists it's the way to go green while mood rests find it a very economical Mobility solution electric vehicles yeah hi folks welcome to parkless electric vehicles have all the hype these days but there has been an argument going okay convenient but when it comes to Intercity commute or Highway community and we have been given a challenge to drive the mgz EV all the way to Jalandhar from Delhi so let's see that how much achievable this challenge is in fact we'll be driving just the way we drive petrol or diesel cars normally on highways and taking our usual stops which means till Chandigarh at least I am sorted the current Jedis EV got a slightly bigger 50.3 kilowatt hour battery pack last year and mg is claiming a range of 461 kilometers under ideal driving conditions but on the highway region function comes and for the most part you are on the throttle real time range drops to around 325 kilometers on a full charge aspect now let me tell you how good of a car this is so on the highway the suspension feels very blind it has just the right amount of suppleness so you don't feel any sharp pinch on your back undulations and it's even more comfortable when it comes to noise levels is that just how silent this cabin is cabin installation and just to give you an example around 80 to 182 kilometers per hour and you can see this you can seriously feel the difference in the noise I don't know if you get that but so cabin installation and obviously you don't have any engine noise so noise levels fatigue free driving and that's a beautiful aspect of an Eevee with that we arrived at our charging stop near karnal and it's almost lunch time on our way to Jalandhar and we have stopped by at this bpcl petrol pump but Gary petrols in fact we are charging our car because I have a fast charger here now in 30 minutes the zscv will be charged completely to the fullest I'll go and have my lunch it's not that we needed to charge the car chandigarettes but I'd like to be on the safer side so this chart will give me a full top up till Jalandhar so on my way to Jalandhar from Delhi you are sorted range anxiety Plus on the mg app you will get 30 discount in charging cost if you use these charging stations so yes it's quite affordable in terms of kilometers per kilometer range as well affordability for me is the biggest driver for Ev growth I am paying under 1000 rupees for a full charge on the Zs TV that said it usually takes me just 5 minutes to completely top up my petrol car while I'll be spending anywhere between 30 to 45 minutes for 80 percent charge on the Zs TV I'll have lunch when you are driving long distances you tend to observe certain things in your car and MC Zs EV may be my voice is actually closely observed around especially when it comes to the upmarket appeal uh the cabin feels premium thanks to all these Soft Touch Upholstery here on the dashboard on the door armrest Cafe 320 carbon fiber treatment and red stitching hair you have got this certain silver finish on the dashboard so good contrast and a good balance between sportiness and elegance also in terms of features you have got all the requisite and segment standard features like uh air purifier that's integrated here a coffee HR touchscreen infotainment system it gives you access to Apple carplay Android auto and all sort of connectivity options also pre-loaded Apple like jio Saavn and other apps so quite informative and quite crisp quite easy to read and quite crisp to use uh talking about more features you have got a wireless charger a big panoramic sunroof that adds to that sense of airiness so yes overall it's a good cabin to be in even on a longer commute Comfort is a bigger concern for me the seats themselves are quite comfortable they snug you well you have got decent amount of sight support under high support but that's still manageable so yes a nice cabin to be in again but we have enough juice in the battery so we didn't mind making this trip a bit longer and took a small detour towards a very sacred place foreign [Music] who was seized and buried alive along with his nine-year-old brother zorawa Singh by the mughals in the early 18th century the town features historic gurudwadas including the underground bhora sahib where two boys were buried alive by the time we caught up with the Convoy the sun had set and folks wanted to stop for a quick charge but not us hundred kilometers more to go jalandhars and I still have a range of around 162 kilometers on the news at CV purani series that has a smaller battery pack and it has around 110 kilometers I don't need to do that because I am rest assured that I'll reach my hotel well with rain so I don't have any range anxiety as such I am at this lovely location at a Midwest Subway and I can utilize this time to just go and have a bite well it's been an eventful day cruising on open roads hogging some delicious Dhaba foods and visiting some places it's now time to call it a day so finally we have reached Jalandhar still with 20 chance left on the status and if you have any plans for sightseeing if you want to explore the local streets or taste some Cuisine it is very much possible but you have to look out for one thing you'll have to plan your charging Solutions available so on to the bigger question is Intercity commute possible in an AV yes Highway commute in an EV is very much doable at least on the planes and foreign compared to 5500 rupees in a petrol car or per bpcl already has 300 charging stations functioning on the highways and by the end of this year they are setting up 800 charging stations on National highways so all you need is planning your charging stops in advance and you are good to go foreign [Music]
