MG Comet EV Range And Features:  The electric vehicle segment is rapidly growing in the country. The MG Comet was introduced in 2023, and it has remained the most affordable electric car in the country ever since. While the prices for the battery-fitted version of the Comet EV start from Rs 7.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the prices for the Battery as a Service (Baas) iteration start as low as Rs 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom). But is it worth buying in 2026?

MG Comet: More Valuable Than ICE

The MG Comet EV evolves into a more significant asset than any Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle in 5 years. To begin with, the Comet EV has a running cost of around Rs 0.6 per kilometre, whereas a petrol car costs approximately Rs 6.5. A petrol car’s fuel cost stands at around Rs 7,080 for a month, whereas the Comet EV costs Rs 720 for a month’s running (For Around 1200 Kilometres).

This way, an MG Comet EV owner can save up to Rs 84,960 in one year, and up to Rs 4,24,800 in 5 years. The government provides a depreciation benefit on EVs, which stands at around 40 per cent of the total value after 5 years. This way, the Comet EV owner will have around Rs 4 lakh after 5 years.

The brand also offers a buyback program, and the Comet EV owner can redeem around 50 per cent of the value of the car after 5 years, which is Rs 5 lakh. Now, adding the fuel benefit, depreciation benefit, and the buyback program, the Comet EV provides savings of more than Rs 13 lakh, which exceeds by Rs 3 lakh the value at which it was bought.
