The MG ZS EV is the cheapest electric SUV on the island and a straightforward, sensible car. A 51 kWh battery gives around 280 km of real island range, the boot takes three large cases, and the equipment list includes a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise and a panoramic sunroof - a lot for the money. There is nothing clever about it, which is rather the point.

Any minor damage is deducted from the deposit and the balance returned. We photograph every panel, the interior, the fuel or charge level and the odometer at handover, and you get those timestamped photos with your digital contract - so there is a record to compare against rather than an argument.
Families who want an electric SUV at the lowest rate, first-time EV renters who want a conventional car, and anyone staying somewhere with overnight charging. It is the budget entry to the electric SUV category.
The 280 km range is the smallest in the electric SUV group and still covers three days of island sightseeing between charges. Where you would notice it is a hill base combined with heavy daily driving - expect to plug in every second day in that case. Otherwise this is a completely straightforward car: normal switchgear, normal driving position, normal boot, and a rate that undercuts every other electric SUV we rent.
The MG ZS EV, from ฿1,100 a day in low season. It has a 51 kWh battery, around 280 km of real range and a three-case boot.
It covers about three days of sightseeing between charges, so you would plug in twice in a week - usually overnight at your accommodation. The ring road is only 51 km, so range is rarely the constraint here.
The Atto 3 has a bigger battery, more range, more power and more equipment, for roughly ฿100-300 more per day. The ZS EV is the cheaper, simpler choice and perfectly adequate if you can charge overnight.
