Multiple Pricing Option

You must already know about the Rs 3.5 per km package. Under this scheme, there is a minimum monthly rental which is calculated by considering 1,500 km as the base distance covered. This will be levied regardless of whether you drive it or not. However, what you might not know is that there are 4 plans to choose from depending on your usage. Some of these don’t even have the requirement of minimum usage. Hence, if you go to the dealership, you can enquire about the plan which makes the most sense for your situation.

Purchase Car and Battery Together

Even though, at present, the price of the vehicle is announced without the battery, you will get to know the cost of the car with the battery in a week. This will be the option for those who don’t want to go through the hassle of paying for the battery every month. If you know that you will own the EV for a long time and drive it often, you might as well buy the battery upfront. Obviously, this option is for those who have a flexible budget, to begin with.

What Happens You Don’t Fail to Pay Battery Rent?

Now you might ask that since you are paying per month according to the usage afterwards, what if you miss your payment or default. Well, in that case, MG can take away your car and offer you a price which is prevalent in the used car market. Note that they will deduct the payment which you owe them first. Therefore, you have to make sure that you go through the calculation process carefully during the time of purchase and know how much you will have to shell out every month so that such a scenario never crops up.
