JSW MG Motor has a 31%<\/a> market share in the Indian EV car segment as of 2025. Within three months of its launch, it witnessed an impressive sales record of 10,000 units <\/a>of its MG Windsor EV. <\/strong>The EV market in India is estimated to grow from 11.11 billion USD to 17.87 billion USD<\/a> from 2024 to 2025. The changing customer mindset towards sustainability has become a major factor affecting customers\u2019 buying decisions. This has led to a significant and constant increase in EV cars in the Indian automobile segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another factor contributing to the growth of inflation and the constantly increasing fuel prices which is why people are switching to EV vehicles. They are a cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable option, making them an attractive choice among buyers. If you\u2019ve booked or received your MG Windsor EV<\/strong> and are wondering how to increase its range, keep reading, as this blog will surely come in handy. <\/p>\n\n\n

Ways to Increase Driving Range in MG Windsor EV<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

There are several ways that a driver can optimise and increase the range of their MG Windsor EV. <\/strong>Here are some measures that you can take to achieve this: <\/h2>\n\n

Adopt Ideal Driving Habits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Driving habits make a considerable difference in determining the range of the MG Windsor EV. <\/strong>To achieve better results, the driver must understand how frequent acceleration and deceleration negatively affect the car\u2019s range. Avoid changing the car\u2019s speed frequently and focus on driving at a consistent speed throughout the journey, especially if you plan to drive long distances at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acceleration has a direct impact on the EV\u2019s battery consumption, hence, drivers should refrain from sudden acceleration and constant braking. MG Windsor EV <\/strong>lets you drive in multiple driving modes- Eco +, Eco, Normal and Sport. Switching between these driving modes as per the driving environment allows the car to adjust the engine\u2019s responsiveness, allowing optimal energy utilisation.<\/p>\n\n\n

Utilise the Regenerative Braking Feature While Driving<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

While driving, a car loses energy during braking. The regenerative braking feature of the MG Windsor EV<\/strong> converts the lost energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery for future usage. The EV cars benefit from this feature as it helps with fuel efficiency, resulting in longer driving range and fewer battery recharge stoppages needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature usually operates in different modes, and drivers can switch between them as needed.  Each mode recovers energy on a different level. The heavy mode conserves the most energy while driving, while the medium and low modes are considered optimal for driving on highways because of the smooth driving experience. This feature also results in less wear and tear on the brake components of the car. <\/p>\n\n\n

Ensure Optimal Tyre Pressure and Vehicle Maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Proper maintenance can also help increase and sustain the range of the MG Windsor EV<\/strong> and ensure that the vehicle operates at its highest possible potential. Under-inflated and over-inflated tyres reduce the car\u2019s range significantly. If the wheels are over-inflated, the risk of blowouts increases, and their ability to absorb shocks decreases, which results in bumpier and riskier rides. The under-inflated tyres result in uneven wear and tear of the wheels, increased drag,  risk of blowouts, and increased power consumption. All of them are responsible for reducing the driving range of the MG Windsor EV. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, it is advised to constantly check your car for fixings and replacements of damaged parts, along with adjusting wheel alignments as required. In conclusion, a properly maintained car runs on optimal power usage, resulting in increased driving range. <\/p>\n\n\n

Fine-tune the Climate Control Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Pre-conditioning the EV before driving helps in saving a significant amount of battery power. Adjust the car\u2019s temperature with the AC or heater while the EV is still plugged in for charging. This way, the car will pre-condition using the grid energy instead of using the EV\u2019s battery while you\u2019re on the road. Also, moderate dependence on the AC\/heater is beneficial for saving battery and increasing driving range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relying on seat heaters is another way to regulate the car\u2019s cabin temperature using less energy, instead of cooling\/ heating the entire cabin. Many EVs come with the feature of pre-scheduling this process. Users can automatically precondition their car while it’s plugged in with the help of a smartphone, without having to do this manually every time. <\/p>\n\n\n

Plan the Routes in Advance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Planning the routes is a strategic way of saving energy and maximising your MG Windsor EV<\/strong> range. For this, plan your journey ahead by using maps to find the most efficient routes. Select the route that\u2019s experiencing minimal traffic and doesn\u2019t have a lot of elevated paths and unnecessary detours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle consumes more energy when the paths are too elevated or when the road is too uneven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also essential to factor in the charging station points present on the route. Before leaving the house, pre-condition your car and charge the battery to full. This will help you take fewer breaks for battery recharge. <\/p>\n\n\n

Reduce Unnecessary Load and Drag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

One of the easiest ways to reduce power consumption and maximise driving range is by ensuring that your vehicle is not hoarded with unnecessary goods. Extra weights would require the vehicle to utilise excess energy to operate. Make sure that the cabin space and boot space only contain essentials if you aim to achieve maximum range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, exterior car accessories like roof carriers and racks affect the car\u2019s aerodynamics and decrease its speed. When not required, consider removing them for increased driving speed. The vehicle\u2019s speed and drag are closely connected. A vehicle experiencing superior aerodynamics moves faster and consumes less energy. Hence, avoid opening the car\u2019s window while it’s moving and rely on pre-conditioning or seat heaters to ensure a comfortable cabin temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n

Battery Charging Habits and Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

The range of the MG Windsor EV<\/strong> gets affected if its battery is not performing efficiently. Ideally, the car\u2019s battery shouldn\u2019t be charged up to 100% every time, as it affects its longevity and reduces its working capacity over time. However, charging the battery to its fullest occasionally would allow battery calibration, resulting in maximum range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also advised not to let the battery deplete below 20% frequently, as it affects the battery poorly. Keeping the charge between 20-80% for daily usage is recommended, and balancing this with occasional full charges would help maximise the car\u2019s performance. <\/p>\n\n\n

Go For the MG Windsor EV Essence Pro If You Want Better Range<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

The MG Windsor EV<\/strong> Essence Pro features a 52.9 kWh prismatic cell battery, claiming a capacity to run up to 449 km on a single charge. The other 3 variants of MG Windsor EV<\/strong> (Excite, Exclusive and Essence) feature a 38 kWh battery and can drive up to 332 km on a single charge. There is a significant difference between the original and the Pro version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s always a difference between the claimed numbers and the actual results of an EV\u2019s driving range. Users reported that the MG Windsor EV <\/strong>gave a range of 260-300 km on a 100% charge, which is almost close to the claims made by the company. Both versions of this car show great performance and potential. The pro version does come with better battery capacity and additional features, which can be beneficial for customers who often take long journeys. <\/p>\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Achieving maximum range in the MG Windsor EV<\/strong> is a combination of instilling better driving behaviour, decluttering your car for reduced weight, smooth acceleration, tyre pressure maintenance, limited usage of AC\/heater and ideal battery charging management. MG Windsor EV <\/strong>can reach its maximum range potential with these simple and quick tips and tweaks. Whether it’s daily commutes or long weekend adventures, the MG Windsor EV<\/strong> has a decent range, but with the help of these tips, you can easily increase it by a few kms. <\/p>\n\n\n
