Consider the Tata Tiago EV with the larger 24kWh battery pack. It is a more well-rounded car than the MG Comet EV; it drives better, is better equipped and more practical. It also has rear doors and a larger, more usable boot and supports DC fast charging. It is obviously larger than the MG Comet, but it is a fair trade-off considering the added usability. However, the Comet’s tiny footprint means the Tiago can’t quite match it for maneuverability. If that is a bigger priority than the usability the Tiago otherwise offers, then there is really nothing else like the Comet on the market today.On your test drive, try a tight U-turn, reverse into a tight spot, and crawl in slow traffic to see how it responds at very low speeds.

We would suggest going for the Tata Tiago EV. It suits your usage very well because it offers more than enough real-world range for your daily running, so you will not have to worry about charging frequently. At the same time, it is easy to drive, smooth and silent, which makes school runs and city driving completely stress-free.It also works well as a proper family car, with usable space and comfort, unlike smaller city-focused EVs like the MG Comet. Overall, it feels like a normal hatchback experience, which makes it easy to adapt to if you are switching from a petrol car.If your usage is strictly within tight city areas and you want something even easier to park and manoeuvre, you can also consider the MG Comet EV, but it is more of a city-only car with limited practicality.

There aren't too many electric cars below the Rs 13 lakh mark, just the MG Comet, the Tata Tiago EV, and the Tata Punch EV.If you plan to keep your current Maruti Suzuki Celerio, the MG Comet will do well as an intra-city commuter and as a good second car. However, if you need this as a primary car, we would recommend the electric Tata Punch. The four doors make it more practical, and the larger wheels and better high-speed performance give you the flexibility to take it on small trips out of the city too.You will get the medium range within your budget, but if you can stretch it, the long range would make good sense as a primary car.

Unfortunately, no EV is available within a budget of Rs 7 lakh. You will have to extend your budget by at least 1-1.50 lakh to purchase the entry-level MG Comet or Tata Tiago EV. The MG Comet is an excellent urban runabout, due to its tiny footprint, which makes it easy to manoeuvre and park. Occasionally, it can seat four passengers in relative comfort, with the only limiting factor being access to its rear seats due to its two-door layout. The Tata Tiago EV is relatively more conventional in its approach, and it drives a bit better than the Comet. Also, it is the Tata Tiago EV, which will feel a bit more comfortable and confident for the occasional highway drives. Hence, if this is going to be your primary vehicle, we'd recommend the Tata Tiago EV for its well-roundedness.

The MG Comet is a wonderful city runabout thanks to its small footprint, light steering and tight turning circle, good visibility, as well as smooth and adequately zippy electric motor. What's more is that it is surprisingly spacious to ferry 4 adults, should the need arise.Moreover, with just two occupants on board, it also makes for an excellent car for the airport run (by folding the rear seats), as it can accommodate four large suitcases with ease. Yes, its ride comfort or audio system isn't as good as the Tata Tiago EV's, which is available at a similar price. But purely looking at it from a convenience and ease-of-use point of view, this MG car is an excellent secondary car.

Considering your running and if you are open to an EV, the MG Comet is a good option for your wife. It is extremely easy to drive, park, and live with thanks to its compact size. Even the top variant falls within your budget and comes well-loaded with features.If it feels too small and you want something more substantial, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT in the Delta Plus variant is a good fit. The 1.2 litre petrol engine is smooth and efficient, and the AMT works well for everyday use.If you prefer a more premium automatic, the Hyundai i20 with the smooth CVT transmission is also a strong option and fits comfortably within your budget.

Since your running is only 500km, paying a premium for an EV over a petrol car does not make financial sense, as you will not be able to reap the benefits of its low running costs. That said, opt for an EV for its smoothness and refinement, which no ICE vehicle can match. Additionally, most EVs offer a long standard warranty, as well as battery and motor warranties, for added peace of mind.Hence, from a financial perspective, an electric car might not be beneficial to you, but EVs have other benefits that make them worth considering.

The MG Comet is a good option for a first-time driver. It is easy to drive, has a spacious cabin, despite being a two-door, and the electric powertrain is smooth and silent enough.However, the 2-doors mean the Comet is not the most practical option in its segment, the boot is small, and the small tyres mean the ride can get choppy. If this is important to you, you could consider the Tata Tiago EV. Otherwise the Comet will do just fine.

You could go for either ICE or EV, as both have their own pros and cons. Assuming your daily, repeated commute is within city confines, then an electric car is a good bet. Apart from zero tailpipe emissions while sitting in traffic, and the obvious lower running costs, if you don't do long distances in a single go, then you won't have to worry about range limitations either. Moreover, an EV powertrain is smoother than even the smoothest ICE and auto gearbox combo, which will make your commute more relaxing.Bear in mind, however, that it is essential you have a wallbox charger either at your home, or office, or both, as you don't want to be burdened with relying on public charging infrastructure, which can be unreliable or busy when you need it the most. We appreciate the love for our work; thank you.

An electric car, especially the MG Comet, is a great option for Mumbai, especially considering your wife will only drive it in the city, and with only your child as a passenger. Its biggest advantage is its ultra-compact size, which makes it incredibly manoeuvrable and easy to park in the smallest of spaces. Plus, it has light controls and plenty of pep, and is surprisingly spacious for its tiny size.Do note, however, that the range from the small battery is not great, and it is best to have a charger installed at home. If you can get past its unconventional look, the MG Comet is in many ways the ideal city car.However, if you want something more conventional, the Tata Tiago EV is available at a slightly higher price.
