The MG Comet EV is listed at 17.3 kWh with a claimed 230 km. Those two numbers drive everything below, which is arithmetic from MG’s published specification rather than a road test — we do not test vehicles.
| Claimed range | 230 km (MG figure) |
| Realistic range | about 166–184 km |
| Units for a full charge | about 19.0 (17.3 kWh plus charging loss) |
| Cost of a full charge | about ₹152 at ₹8 per unit |
| Running cost | about ₹0.87 per km |
At 166–184 km of usable range, the MG Comet EV sits comfortably inside daily use without any thought, and handles most weekend trips with a single charging stop.
No DC fast charging is listed for the MG Comet EV. That makes it a city vehicle whatever its 230 km claim suggests, because every charge away from home is an AC charge measured in hours.
Over 1,000 km in a month the MG Comet EV costs roughly ₹871 in electricity at ₹8 a unit, against about ₹5000 of petrol for an equivalent car. That is ₹4129 a month and ₹49549 a year. Take the price difference you are actually quoted for the MG Comet EV against the petrol car you would otherwise buy, divide by ₹49549, and you have your own break-even in years — which is a far more useful number than any per-kilometre figure.
Filling the MG Comet EV’s 17.3 kWh pack from empty draws about 19.0 units at the meter once charging losses are counted — roughly 6 hours on the 3.3 kW portable charger supplied with most cars, or about 3 hours on a 7.2 kW wallbox. On the MG Comet EV that gap is the practical argument for a wallbox — and all of it assumes you can plug in where you park.
Realistic range applies the 72–80% band set out in how we estimate real-world range, and ₹8 a unit is an assumption rather than your tariff — the calculator takes your own.
