Electric Cars in India

Here is the reality guys.
Electric cars will win.

​Not because they are inexpensive to run, not because they are better for the environment, but because they are superior machines compared to the ones that run on dinosaur juice. EV's are more efficient. More convenient. More fun to drive. More practical. EV's are better. Full stop.

The days of pollution cars are numbered.
So make a difference to your city and country and go electric!

Watch how an EV community member purchased a 8 year old electric car!

​PluginIndia Team Observations
  • Looking at the savings, why would you even consider an oil guzzling pollution compact car or an SUV? You should go electric and enjoy independence from that oil pump!
  • ​In the cost savings section at the start of this page
    • The amounts mentioned in 'Maintenance & Servicing' and 'Parts : Repairs/Replacements', are indicative based on our experience with EV users over 10+ years. The amounts will be different for every case.
    • Electric Cars have electronics parts like Onboard Charger, AC compressor, Energy Management System, Controllers and others which are expensive to replace if something goes wrong. Thus an estimated figure is placed in the Parts : Repairs/Replacements' section.
      • ICE cars don't suffer from the same problem, as most parts can be repaired. Moreover their spares are available in local market too. And at competitive prices. Dime a dozen workshops have mastered the art of maintenance of an ICE car by now. 
    • ICE manufacturers also tend to artificially inflate prices of spare parts for EV's, as they don't make as much money from servicing of an EV compared to ICE cars. But Tata has promised us that wont be the case.
  • ​Couple of other points, which can lead to additional savings when using an electric.
    • Most EV owners don't face issues of part replacements as usually these electronic parts are reliable
    • Also as an ICE car gets older, mechanical parts tend to cause more issues as there are more moving components. This can also cause extra expenses, which are not considered here.
  • Replace the battery of the Nexon EV or an MG ZS EV after 1.6 Lakh km or 8 years. In many cases, even after 8 years, you don't have to replace the entire battery pack. Only cells or modules can be changed.
Other Notes
Check out our YouTube Channel for more electric car content
  • Electric Cars that are on Indian roads or sold in India or companies having plans to sell them soon, are listed here.
  • Traditional Hybrids (cheating hybrids) or Plugin hybrids are not showcased. Only pure zero emissions electric cars are showcased here.
  • Tata Tiago.ev, Tata Nexon EV, Tigor EV is really doing well and Tata universe ecosystem and EV vision is appreciated by the EV community. 
  • Chinese auto giant, BYD has entered the Indian electric car market with the E6 and the Atto3. Owners absolutely love the cars.
  • Tata Tigor EV is being delivered for fleets. 
  • Mahindra have launched a compliance electric car XUV300. We are yet to see a real EV vision from them.
  • Mahindra e2o, e2o Plus are not in production anymore. These cars were the last models created by the team from the old Reva Electric Car company.
  • Hyundai Kona EV, Ioniq5, MG ZS EV are models that are sold in limited numbers. Essentially they launched EV's for 'branding'. We are waiting for them to show a real EV vision.
  • ​Ola Electric have announced the 2024 launch of their electric car.
