MG Windsor EV & ZS EV PDI Guide: BaaS Battery Inspection, Glass Roof & High-Voltage Diagnostics

The MG Windsor EV and MG ZS EV represent cutting-edge electric mobility in India. With unique innovations like Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership, an Infinity View glass roof, and business-class Aero Lounge rear seats, conducting an independent EV Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) before delivery is crucial.

1. High-Voltage Traction Battery & BaaS Serial Number Match

The 38 kWh prismatic cell lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery in the Windsor EV is the core component of your purchase:

• Verify that the physical High-Voltage Battery Pack Serial Number etched on the battery casing matches the BaaS subscription agreement and RTO allotment sheet.
• Connect our professional EV OBD-II scanner to read live Battery Management System (BMS) data: State of Health (SOH should be 99–100%) and cell voltage variance (under 15mV).
• Check the battery pack casing underside for loading ramp scrapes or dented protective plates.
• Inspect the high-voltage coolant lines and reservoir level for thermal cooling circuit integrity.

2. Infinity View Fixed Glass Roof & Motorized Curtain

The expansive glass roof floods the cabin with light, but demands careful inspection:

• Examine the entire panoramic glass panel under natural sunlight for micro-cracks, bubbles, or stress fractures.
• Inspect the exterior silicone bonding beading around the perimeter for uniform sealant bead lines.
• Operate the electrically retracting sunblind across multiple cycles to verify smooth track movement and absence of motor grinding noises.

3. 15.6-Inch GRANDVIEW Touchscreen & Digital Electronics

Almost all vehicle functions, from air conditioning to mirror adjustments, are controlled via the massive central screen:

• Test screen responsiveness, capacitive touch latency, and cold-boot time upon vehicle wake-up.
• Verify wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and MG i-SMART connected car pairing.
• Inspect 360-degree camera resolution, transparent chassis view, and dynamic parking guidelines.
• Test the PM2.5 air purifier readout and digital automatic climate control vent direction controls.

4. 135-Degree Reclining Aero Lounge Rear Seats & Interior Craftsmanship

• Test the rear seat 135-degree recline mechanism on both 60:40 sections for effortless operation.
• Inspect royal quilted upholstery for loose stitching, creasing, or foam padding deformities.
• Verify wireless 15W phone charging pad, USB-C 45W fast-charging ports, and ambient lighting LED zones.

5. AC & DC Fast-Charging Port & Cable Verification

Verify that both the CCS2 high-speed DC fast-charging port and Type-2 AC home charging port have clean terminal pins with zero oxidation. Inspect the 3.3kW / 7.2kW AC home charger and 15A portable trickle cable included in the boot.
