World EV Day: Top Electric Cars You Can Buy in India: Tata Nexon EV, Hyundai Kona and More

The world is celebrating its first ever ‘World EV Day’ on September 9. The aim of this day is to highlight the importance of sustainable mobility and to push more electric vehicles for greener environment. We know for sure that the future of mobility is electric vehicles. Pratap Bose, Head of Design, Tata Motors once said that “A huge wave of electric mobility is coming, and nobody knows when. But when it comes, we want to be in the front.”

The problem, though, is while the world has already accepted the electric cars as a mass segment, India is at a very nascent stage. While manufacturers like Mahindra, with the e2O Plus and eVerito took an early lead, Tata and Hyundai recently rolled-out high range vehicles like the Nexon and Kona EVs. There are also luxury car manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz offering their own electric car in the form of EQC.

However, this we only have a handful of electric cars in India and here’s a list of all the full-electric cars you can buy in India–

Post that, Mahindra went a step ahead to launch the 4-seater version called the e2O Plus, with an all-electric range of 80 km, and easy charging.
