Priyans, your exeprience seems like the longest nightmare to me. But a good vauable information this is for MG EV owners.

Is it ok you can share contacts for MG People you interacted. I get my vehicle serviced in Bangalore, Yelahanka. Contacts others will help in future., I hope I don't wanna experience such issues and I hope HG will come with some fix to address this where it can be done remotely with help of RSA.

Thanks

Hi Sooriya,

Thank you for reading the article. I don't think I can share their contacts on a public platform. But please feel free to reach out to me privately on any other social media and I'll be happy to share some contacts.

Yeah, the OEMs need to be more transparent about the issues and what can the users do to get it rectified as smoothly as possible.

I've gotten a 40m long extension cable custom made to slow charge my car when I am traveling. I haven't purchased any other accessories outside of that.

I had faced similar issue on my new MG ZS EV in 2022. The issue popped up after a 800km Gurgaon-Simla-Gurgaon trip. Vehicle control error happened when my driver was getting kids back from school and the car became non responsive with brakes not working. I threatened MG that I will file a case against the India management and MG for launching a vehicle without appropriate testing. I was given a loaner hector for 45 days and MG bought the car back at original invoice value and paid all financing and penalty charges. They also paid for fuel charges for 45 days.
