Beyond fuel, the Mg Zs Ev maintenance cost is significantly lower at ₹14,392 per year. Electric vehicles have no engine oil to change, no spark plugs, fewer brake pad replacements (thanks to regenerative braking), and no exhaust system. A comparable petrol car costs ₹31,483/year in servicing — that's ₹17,091 more annually.
Insurance for the Mg Zs Ev is approximately ₹62,965 per year. While slightly higher than petrol equivalents due to higher vehicle value, the massive fuel and maintenance savings more than compensate. Over 5 years, total running cost savings with the Mg Zs Ev exceed ₹5.27 L.
Additional savings come from government incentives: Section 80EEB provides up to ₹1.5 lakh income tax deduction on EV loan interest, most states waive road tax for EVs, and the PM E-DRIVE scheme offers purchase subsidies. These can save an additional ₹1-3 lakh over the ownership period.
