JSW MG Motor India has launched India\u2019s first mainstream plug-in hybrid electric SUV, MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV. As a PHEV, or plug-in hybrid electric SUV, the Hector Tomahawk is powered by an engine and a battery. With a vehicle-powering battery in the equation, MG has chosen to offer its popular BaaS scheme with the Hector Tomahawk PHEV. As usual, the BaaS scheme reduces the upfront cost of the Hector Tomahawk, making its ownership more flexible. Here is the lowdown on the MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV BaaS scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is BaaS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BaaS, which stands for Battery-as-a-Service, is a dual-finance electric-vehicle ownership programme. In BaaS, you can buy an electric vehicle and pay a monthly cost to use its battery. The monthly payment for battery usage, or battery subscription charge, is more like a battery EMI, since it depends on the loan you take out. Meanwhile, you can buy the vehicle, whether on loan or in cash, without taking the battery’s price into account. Usually, the battery loan tenure is longer than the vehicle loan tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, with BaaS, instead of buying the most expensive part of an EV \u2013 the battery, you pay a monthly fee to use it. Excluding the battery\u2019s cost, the electric vehicle’s upfront cost is substantially lower than its ex-showroom price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variant<\/strong><\/td>Ex-showroom price<\/strong><\/td>Battery<\/strong><\/td>Battery Price<\/strong><\/td>BaaS Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

The MG Hector Tomahawk plug-in hybrid set-up uses a 20.5 kWh battery in both variants. The Hector Tomahawk BaaS prices are Rs. 21.79 lakh for the Exclusive variant and Rs. 23.89 lakh for the Essence variant. The battery subscription charge for both variants is Rs. 3.2\/km. The BaaS scheme slashes the SUV\u2019s upfront cost by Rs. 3.91 lakh, meaning the battery costs Rs. 3.91 lakh.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most MG finance partners base their EMIs on a minimum monthly run of 1,500. Therefore, with a Rs. 3.2\/km battery subscription cost, you would need to pay around Rs. 3.2 x 1,500 = Rs. 4,800 every month to use the battery. Moreover, to drive 1,500 km per month, you need to cover 50 km per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key point to consider is that the per-kilometre charge does not include RTO tax, Insurance, TCS, or other statutory taxes. You will have to pay taxes on the full value of the vehicle because the battery is included in that value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared with many other electric cars sold under a BaaS scheme, the Hector Tomahawk PHEV is a better value-for-money option, mainly because it is not an electric-only car. While a 20.5 kWh battery powers this electric SUV, it is less than half the size of the 69.2 kWh battery that powers the Hector Tomahawk EV. Buying a Hector Tomahawk PHEV under the BaaS scheme will add only around Rs. 4,800 to your monthly expenditure on the SUV, which is nominal considering the SUV’s total value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
