Guest Post by Mr. Anand Kulkarni, Product Line Director Electric Vehicle & ALFA Architecture - Passenger Vehicle Business Unit, Tata Motors Ltd. In the last few years, Electric vehicles are slowly gaining prominence in the automotive sector and it will not be long before they become more established. They have shown the world that they are at-least equitable if not mostly superior in performance to their ICE engine counterparts. Nonetheless, there still seem to be some myths about their capabilities, especially when it comes to their immunity against rainy weather. As the monsoon approaches, the question in everybody’s mind is – Can the Electric vehicle survive the rainy days ahead?
SUV’s running on Internal Combustion Engines(ICE) consume more oil and generate more pollution than small cars. For decades, there have been movements all over the world to highlight the flaws of SUVs and to limit their production.
Unfortunately, car makers all around the world and in India continue to aggressively market these vehicles. Why? Join us in this hard hitting article/podcast that calls out Indian and MNC automakers who don't care about the air pollution in Indian cities or about India’s oil import bills. For the CEOs and investors in the pollution vehicle industry, it's business as usual.

We thank you all for your comments and encouragement in our high speed electric scooter buyers guide!
Judging by the discussion in our YouTube video comments, we feel the buyer guide series will be useful and educational to all of you. So we have our Electric Car Buyers Guide here for you. The choices are limited when it comes to Electric Cars. But we talk about what is available for you. The Tata Nexon Electric Compact SUV was unveiled today in Mumbai. The Nexon is the first product based on the ZipTron platform which uses a high voltage system. Tata Motors have been creating marketing content for the Nexon EV, taking it to Ladakh and showcasing the performance of the vehicle. We had an opportunity to visit the unveil event and here are our takeaways.
By Atul Gopal The story of the Tigor EV Electric Sedan starts with a government contract. For once in 2017, the babus get it right - as they take a brilliant decision of kick starting the nascent Indian EV 4 wheeler market, with a stimulus. So an order of ten thousand cars is tendered. When all the bets seemed to be on Mahindra walking away with the order, Tata Motors emerges as the dark horse.
PluginIndia recently took a trip to Hyderabad, the city of nawabs and of high technology. In fact, our hotel was in an area synonymous with the latter – Hitec City! That’s where we found ourselves, bleary-eyed after a long overnight bus ride that had brought us into Hyderabad from Bangalore. But we had little time to laze about in our hotel rooms because we had to go check out e-Trio, the only Indian company offering ARAI-certified electric vehicle (EV) conversion kits for your car!
