Ahed of the anticipated launch, here is a quick look at how the Creta EV compares to its rivals in terms of range and batteries on offer.

Hyundai Creta EV vs MG Windsor EV:

Hyundai Motor will offer the Creta EV with two choices of batteries. The smaller battery, with a capacity of 42 kWh, is slightly bigger than the 38 kWh battery offered by JSW MG Motor in the Windsor EV. The MG electric vehicle is currently the best-selling EV in India. Priced from ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Windsor EV offers 332 kms of range in a single charge. The battery supports DC fast charging and is capable of recharging up to 80 per cent in 55 minutes.

Compared to the Windsor EV, the Creta EV will offer 390 kms of range with the smaller battery. The carmaker says the electric SUV will be able to recharge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in just 58 minutes using a DC fast charger.
