We undertook a drive from Delhi to Kochi in an MG ZS EV. The confidence to do this was in part inspired by the fact that we had completed a round trip from Delhi to Pune earlier in Jan 21. So at least part of the route was well known to us. My effort in penning our experience is primarily to highlight the lessons learnt in driving an EV long distance over a period of 6 days, through 8 states through the lockdown imposed by the pandemic.

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.

For the CEOs and investors in the pollution vehicle industry, it's business as usual.
