The company will also set up DC Super-Fast charging network at select MG showrooms that can be availed 24x7 and also plans to create an extended charging network across MG dealerships in select satellite cities along key routes and provide charge-on-the-go with RSA (road side assistance). The super-fast 50kW DC chargers is capable of attaining 80 per cent battery capacity within 50 minutes while AC fast chargers installed at homes need around six - eight hours for a full charge.

The MG ZS EV is available with the eShield ownership package that offers free-of-charge five-year manufacturer warranty for unlimited kilometers on the car, eight years/1.5 lakh kms warranty on battery and also round-the-clock roadside assistance (RSA) for a period of 5 years, for the private registered cars.
