Upcoming Electric Cars In India

Electric is the future and we don’t think Karl Benz had this in mind when he filed his patent application for automobiles. But, over the years of privatisation, industrialisation and advancing technologies, we did all that we shouldn’t have to our mother nature. And now, to save the very existence of the human species, it is the need of the hour to find sustainable alternatives to all our practices. And hence, electric energy is a better, more sustainable in the long run and more environment-friendly alternative to the internal combustion engines.

Electric powertrains might rob away the very feel and the soul of an automobile, its revving engine, but hey, in the words of Thanos, it is a small price you pay for salvation and one that is the most critical right now.

Hence, at some point in future, there would only be electric vehicles on sale and hence, here’s a list of upcoming electric cars in India:

Mahindra eKUV

The prototype of this EV from Mahindra was showcased way back at the auto expo in 2018. Externally, there’s nothing that sets apart the electric and the ICE versions of the KUV. It should probably hit the streets later this year or early next year as Mahindra is keen to join the electric bandwagon. It should offer a range of around 160-180 km on a single charge.

Mahindra eXUV 300

While almost all, if not all automakers are working on creating or updating their EV portfolio, India’s largest automaker, Maruti Suzuki isn’t going to lag behind. Some spy shots of what seemed to be an electric WagonR and in a different set of shots, what seemed to a hybrid/electric Baleno were doing rounds online and it suggests that Maruti is keen to initiate an EV line-up of its own which is expected to happen later this year or in 2022.
