From Creta EV to Harrier EV: Here are expected EVs to launch before March 2025
The EV awareness is at an all-time high, and as such, the number of auto manufacturers-even those targeting the mass market-has turned to the electric vehicle segment. Compared to conventional ICE cars, EVs offered lower operational costs, lesser maintenance-because of fewer moving parts-and a quiet driving experience. While the charging infrastructure is increasing in the country, EVs are no longer restricted to urban commuting alone. Doing long-distance commutes by all-electric cars is viable.
