MG Comet EV FC: AC Charging Times and Home-Wallbox Checks
For an MG Comet EV buyer, the FC badge should trigger a practical charging conversation. The useful comparison is between the car's AC charging capability, the wallbox available at your parking space and the time you normally leave the car plugged in.
What FC means on the MG Comet EV
MG's current India product page lists AC fast-charging capability on the Excite FC and Exclusive FC. It specifies a Type 2 charging connection. These are AC charging figures; they should not be read as a promise of the DC charging times advertised for some other electric cars.
Choose the exact variant before comparing charging claims. The presence of a connector at your destination is not enough information on its own: confirm compatibility, available output and whether you can use the space for the required duration.

Compare charging times using the same battery window
The currently linked official Comet brochure gives these estimated full-charge times:
| AC charging specification | Battery window | Estimated time |
|---|---|---|
| 3.3 kW | 0–100% | 7 hours |
| 7.4 kW, FC variants only | 0–100% | 3.5 hours |
The brochure qualifies these estimates by battery condition, charger specification and ambient temperature. They are planning references, rather than a guarantee for every charging session. Comparing a full-charge estimate with another car's partial-charge figure would obscure an important difference.
Does buying an FC variant include a 7.4 kW wallbox?
Do not assume that vehicle capability establishes the charger supplied. The brochure's pricing footnote, effective 1 July 2026, refers to a 3.3 kW wallbox and standard installation subject to terms. Confirm the current package, any upgrade and the applicable installation scope in your written quotation.
AutoCred's advice is to arrange the charging-site assessment before treating an FC upgrade as a solution. Ask the approved installer to confirm the property's suitability, the proposed equipment and any additional work. In shared parking, settle access and permissions as part of the purchase decision.
Budget for the complete setup: Check an indicative eligible amount and estimated EMI with AutoCred's eligibility checker before shortlisting a Comet variant or visiting a dealer. Results are indicative; final eligibility, rate, tenure and approval depend on the lender.
Which charging arrangement suits your routine?
Start with when the car returns home, when it must leave again and how dependable your parking access is. A shorter charging window may make the higher-capability arrangement worth considering. Longer, predictable parking periods may change the balance, depending on your actual usage.
Ask for a demonstration of the charging controls and an explanation of the applicable operating instructions. Compare the complete vehicle-and-installation quotation, rather than paying for a feature whose benefit your current charging setup cannot establish.
Check affordability before finalising the variant
Check your car-loan eligibility with AutoCred for an indicative eligible amount and estimated EMI before shortlisting or visiting a dealer. Use it alongside your down payment and itemised vehicle, charger and installation costs. Results are indicative; final eligibility, rate, tenure and approval depend on the lender.
