ZS EV❤️
4 Minutes into the interview and it is clear that there is a definite demand for EVs, you know they are better than ICE, low running cost, low maintenance. It shows that India lacks Tesla, because main reason for Tesla's success was making fast chargers along with expanding Tesla. Indian Government is "as usual" super sluggish
I like this guy...👍 Frank & open conversation...
Three conditions have to be met 1) prices go below 10 - 12 Lakh 2) practical on road range goes above 500 kms And 3) proper charging infrastructure is in place there will be very less buyer intrest or the mass market will stay away.
With in a year a model change in EV especially in range and ground Clarence. It's a bad performers in resale market. Or offer some cost effective retrofitting for an year old customers.
All that said and done,i price is still astronomical if you could bring even for 10-11 lakhs with at least 300km range it would suffice for the middle class.Right now the products are more catered towards the upper middle class who have a CTC of about 20 lakhs +. eg: TATA NEXON petrol cariant costs 9L where as EV version minimum 14 L The 5 lakhs difference i can use it for petrol upto 4-5 years. Coming to the point of eco-friendly ness. Where do you think the electricity for the EV comes from ? Coal powerplants Hydro electric and few nuclear powerplants. Concept of clean energy well lol.
Greatly described.
One of the best, if not the best interview with a CEO of a manufacturer.
Great to hear about EVs. It's really important to think about the environment and use the non-fossil engine. Evs are a great future.
Great to hear about the EV's. EV is our next-gen future. So we can try to make a better India reduce the carbon emission.
NIce EV, comes with fast charging support and 500kms limit in single full charge!
Amazing review😍😍😍
Hatchback or sedan EV will be best seller
Glad to see that Mr Rajeev is thinking and doing so much for Indian Audiences
Very cool interview😎
Always feel that Mr. Rajeev Chaba is a nice gentlemen. Have seen him smiling always whenever he speaks. If MG can bring something within 12-13 lacs, can be a complete game-changer. I think the petrol version of ZS can also be a very good option. All the best MG 👍
Hormazd you are very good at interviews!
"Battery doesn't hit potholes 😂 ...."
Rajeev chabba seems to be a super cool person. I like his confidence
First time i have seen a CEO of a car manufacturer appreciating and talking about other car manufacturer... Loved that gesture
India needs mictrcars for two
Happy to see mg investing soo much in india
Hope MG brings sedan to India
Under 10L will be the real game changer
Yeah, india always ready for upgrades
I love the torque of evs
Ohhhh yeah india is future ready,I just read news that delhi will have charging station every 3kms
