MG has launched a tiny urban EV called the Comet - and it costs just £7,800
17.3kWh lithium ion battery gives the Comet range of 143 miles according to the MIDC test cycle and can be recharged at up to 3.3kW.
DC fast charging isn't supported, reportedly because of the cost this would add, meaning a 0-100% recharge takes around seven hours. The interior is somewhat less spartan, featuring 10.25in displays for infotainment and instrumentation with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone mirroring.
Safety features include anti-lock brakes, a reversing camera, parking sensors, dual front airbags and Isofix childseat mounts. Indian order books are set to open in the coming months. The Comet isn't expected to go on sale in the UK, given its limited suite of safety equipment – especially apparent when compared with the European Union’sIt's available in just one trim level, but a range of optional exterior sticker packs are available, including four 'Lit' varieties.Advertisement
