The MG Windsor EV blazed the trail of BaaS, or Battery as a Service model. Later on, other electric car manufacturers have caught up with the trend and begun offering some of their electric cars with BaaS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering the MG Windsor EV BaaS scheme, one can easily find it an economic way of owning an electric car in urban areas. Meanwhile, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is a capable alternative to the Windsor EV, and it too is offered with a BaaS scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you are confused between the BaaS schemes of the Windsor EV and e Vitara, here is a comparison between the BaaS prices of both and an evaluation of their BaaS ownership costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MG Windsor EV Quick Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"MG<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The MG Windsor EV is one of the best-selling electric cars in India. What makes the Windsor stand out is its unique design that maximises space and comfort. The Windsor is the most spacious 5-seater car under Rs. 20 lakh, and it offers an unmatched premium atmosphere in its cabin with sofa-like cushioning on seats, a 135-degree recline angle for the rear seat, and upmarket interiors. For someone looking for a rich cabin experience at affordable prices, the Windsor EV is the best option under Rs. 20 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard price of the Windsor EV is Rs. 14.10 \u2013 18.60 lakh (ex-showroom). Whereas, its BaaS price is Rs. 9.99 lakh + Rs. 3.9\/km to Rs. 13.60 lakh + Rs. 4.5\/km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Quick Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Maruti<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Maruti e Vitara is Maruti’s first and only electric car. With a host of upmarket features, applaudable interiors, and decent driving range, the e Vitara is a good choice as an electric SUV. However, what makes it a great choice is the fact that Maruti has far more service centres than any other car brand, and every Maruti Suzuki service centre has a fast charger that can quickly top up the e Vitara. Another strength of the e Vitara lies in its passenger safety; the electric SUV has scored a full 5-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP safety test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara is priced at Rs. 15.99 \u2013 20.01 lakh (ex-showroom). Its BaaS price is Rs. 10.99 lakh + Rs. 3.99\/km to Rs. 14.51 lakh + Rs. 4.39\/km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price Comparison of MG Windsor EV and Maruti Suzuki e Vitara<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this comparison, we will use only base variant prices of both models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/td>MG Windsor EV<\/strong><\/td>Maruti Suzuki e Vitara<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Standard Base Variant Price<\/td>Rs. 14.10 lakh<\/td>Rs. 15.99 lakh<\/td><\/tr>

Battery Price<\/td>Rs. 4.31 lakh<\/td>Rs. 5 lakh<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The MG Windsor EV base variant, Excite, which is powered by a 38-kWh battery, has a standard ex-showroom price of Rs. 14.10 lakh. Meanwhile, in BaaS schemes, the Windsor Excite variant costs Rs. 9.99 lakh with a battery subscription price of Rs. 3.9 per kilometre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara base variant, Delta, is priced at Rs. 15.99 lakh (ex-showroom). In the BaaS scheme, it costs Rs. 10.99 lakh with the battery subscription price of Rs. 3.99 per kilometre.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: The battery subscription price is essentially the per-kilometre running cost according to the battery EMI. In simpler terms, the per-kilometre price is battery EMI divided by a set number of kilometres, which depends on the BaaS provider and is considered the minimum monthly running of their electric car. Most MG finance partners consider 1,500 km as minimum monthly running, while Maruti Suzuki BaaS providers consider 1,800 km as minimum monthly running.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost of Ownership Comparison: MG Windsor EV BaaS vs Maruti Suzuki e Vitara BaaS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Case A \u2013 MG Windsor EV (Base Excite variant) with BaaS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Upfront cost: <\/strong>Rs. 9.99 lakh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down payment (20%): <\/strong>20 % of Rs. 9.99 lakh = Rs. 1,99,800<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loan amount<\/strong>: Rs. 7,99,200<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monthly EMI on 9% interest in a 5-year loan tenure:<\/strong> Rs. 16,590<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charging cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The average domestic tariff for electricity is Rs. 8\/unit (kWh)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Charging a 38-kWh battery pack requires around 41 units (assuming minor transmission losses), costing Rs. 328.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Given the MG Windsor EV 38 kWh battery\u2019s claimed driving range of 332 km and real-world driving range, it will take around 5 full charging cycles to cover 1,500 km.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Monthly electricity usage cost for 1,500 km will be around 5 X Rs. 328 = Rs. 1,640<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Minimum monthly charge:<\/strong> Rs. 3.9 X 1,500 = Rs. 5,850<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note:  Minimum monthly charge is basically battery EMI, and it can vary depending on the loan you get for the battery.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Total monthly expenditure<\/strong>: Rs. 5,850 + Rs. 1,640 + Rs. 16,590 = 24,080<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Total yearly expenditure<\/strong>: Rs. 24,080 X 12 = Rs. 2,88,960 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5 years’ expenditure: <\/strong>Rs. 2,88,960 X 5 = Rs. 14,44,800 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5 years ownership cost<\/strong>: Rs. 1,99,800 + Rs. 14,44,800 = Rs. 16,44,600 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now, if you do not finance the vehicle:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Total monthly expenditure<\/strong>: Rs. 5,850 + Rs. 1,640 = 7,490<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Total yearly expenditure<\/strong>: Rs. 7,490 X 12 = Rs. 89,880 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5 years’ expenditure: <\/strong>Rs. 89,880 X 5 = Rs. 4,49,400 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5 years ownership cost<\/strong>: Rs. 9,99,000 + Rs. 4,49,400 = Rs. 14,48,400 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Case B \u2013 Maruti Suzuki e Vitara (Base Delta variant) with BaaS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Upfront cost: <\/strong>Rs. 10.99 lakh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Down payment (20%): <\/strong>20 % of Rs. 10.99 lakh = Rs. 2,19,800<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Loan amount<\/strong>: Rs. 8,79,200<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Monthly EMI on 9% interest in 5-year loan tenure:<\/strong> Rs. 18,251<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Charging cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The average domestic tariff for electricity is Rs. 8\/unit (kWh)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Charging a 49-kWh battery pack requires around 52 units (assuming minor transmission losses), costing Rs. 416.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Given the e Vitara Delta variant\u2019s claimed driving range of 440 km and real-world driving range, it will take around 5 full charging cycles to cover 1,800 km.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Monthly electricity usage cost will be around 5 X Rs. 416 = Rs. 2,080<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Minimum monthly charge:<\/strong> Rs. 3.99 X 1,800 = Rs. 7,182<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Note:  Minimum monthly charge is basically battery EMI, and it can vary depending on the loan you get for the battery.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Total monthly expenditure<\/strong>: Rs. 7,182 + Rs. 2,080 + Rs. 18,251= Rs. 27,513<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Total yearly expenditure<\/strong>: Rs. 27,513 X 12 = Rs. 3,30,156 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      5 years expenditure: <\/strong>Rs. 3,30,156 X 5 = Rs. 16,50,780 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      5 years ownership cost<\/strong>: Rs. 2,19,800 + Rs. 16,50,780 = Rs. 18,70,580 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Now, if you do not finance the vehicle:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Total monthly expenditure<\/strong>: Rs. 7,182 + Rs. 2,080 = Rs. 9,262<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Total yearly expenditure<\/strong>: Rs. 9,262 X 12 = Rs. 1,11,144 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      5 years expenditure: <\/strong>Rs. 1,11,144 X 5 = Rs. 5,55,720 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      5 years ownership cost<\/strong>: Rs. 10,99,000 + Rs. 5,55,720 = Rs. 16,54,720 + maintenance cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Difference between costs of ownership of MG Windsor EV Excite with BaaS and Maruti Suzuki e Vitara with BaaS<\/strong> = Rs. 18,70,580 – Rs. 16,44,600 = Rs. 2,25,980<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Therefore, in 5 years of ownership of base variants, an MG Windsor EV with BaaS will prove over Rs. 2.25 lakh more affordable compared to the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara with BaaS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      As can be seen, the MG Windsor EV with BaaS should be more affordable than the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara with BaaS. However, while the MG Windsor EV with BaaS offers a lower ownership cost than that of the Maruti e Vitara, the e Vitara offers the trust factor that comes with the tag of Maruti Suzuki, and a significantly wider network of fast chargers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
