CASE STUDY British car maker MG has confirmed the launch of a new affordable Electric Vehicle (EV) in India in the first half of 2023. The brand also revealed that this newly developed EV will come with an affordable price tag of around Rs 7-8 lakh. Although the firm has not yet disclosed the details of the EV's body style, this new pure-electric offering will most probably compete against the Tata Nexon EV. Besides this the MG's upcoming EV will utilise a new platform and could offer a sub-300 km of travel range on a single charge. MG Motor has also announced that it will invest in nurturing young talents through its initiatives like the MG Nurture program. The carmaker plans to collaborate with 50 institutes through the program to train one lakh students on the latest technologies regarding EVs. Electric cars produce zero exhaust emissions, which means they do not emit any harmful exhaust gases into the air. This can benefit the environment as exhaust gases can negatively impact various health conditions and also have an impact on climate change. EVs are more efficient, and that combined with the electricity cost is cheaper than filling petrol or diesel for your travel requirements. Using renewable energy sources can make the use of EVs more eco-friendly They mainly reduce noise levels which are hazardous to human health. |
