JSW MG Motor India recently announced that they have sold 50,000 units of the Windsor EV in the Indian market, that too in less than 400 days. That is a huge achievement for an electric vehicle. For reference, it took 3 years for the Tata Nexon EV to clock the same sales figures. Here is why the Windsor EV has been a huge hit in the Indian market.

One of the first advantages of the Windsor EV is the sheer space on offer. Underpinning it is an electric skateboard platform that provides a wheelbase of 2,700 mm. What this has done is provide plenty of space for the occupants. There is an ample amount of headroom, shoulder-room and kneeroom. In fact, three people can sit comfortably in the rear.
