MG Comet EV: is it worth buying the fast charging variant?

I drove my friend's MG Comet recently and absolutely loved it. For my daily office commute of 60km, should I buy the mid-level 'Excite' variant? Is it worth paying more for the AC fast charger version? What sort of range can I expect?

The MG Comet is a unique and characterful electric vehicle that's much more capable and practical than its size and two-door layout indicate. It is zippy enough to keep up with traffic and spacious enough to carry four adults occasionally. After its recent update, MG has packed in many usable safety and convenience features, which were missing earlier. So, as a secondary car in the family, for city commutes, it'll do the job well. We've been running the MG Comet long-termer and within Mumbai city, it has been consistently delivering 135-150km on a full charge. For your usage, where your daily route is fixed, you don't need to worry about charging too much, as an overnight slow charge (every two to three days) at your residence should suffice to top up its battery. Hence, paying more for the fast charging won't be fruitful.
