While looking for a new car to buy, most people consider how much they are going to drive it. But unlike most people, Prasad Joshi’s daily commute was a bit longer than average. While most Indian city-dwellers usually need to contend with less than 40 kilometres both ways, Prasad’s daily commute stood at a staggering 280 km combined.

Living in the Kothrud area of Pune and travelling to Navi Mumbai for his work, he wanted something economical to run, while being comfortable. Having previously used a relation’s CNG car for the same, he zeroed in on the MG ZS EV after some research. Some of the things that tipped the scales in favour of the MG ZS EV were the range, safety features, and creature comforts.
