The MG Comet EV is constructed on the versatile GSEV (Global Smart Electric Vehicle) platform. This smart electric vehicle boasts a sleek and roomy design. It features iSMART infotainment with more than 55 connected features. Equipped with a 17.3 kWh battery pack, it delivers 42 PS of power and a peak torque of 110 NM.
Verdict
Previously, the MG Comet EV did not offer fast charging support, but the brand has addressed this limitation by introducing AC fast charging capability with the new variants. This enhancement is expected to broaden the appeal of the Comet EV, attracting customers who were hesitant to opt for it due to the lack of fast charging support. With this upgrade, the Comet can now be utilized for short highway trips as well.
