I purchased two EV cars in end 2023. Nexon and Atto3. Am extremely satisfied with the range, speed and comfort these new gen cars provide. Have charged 99% times from the comfort of home. For city driving charging the cars twice a week is enough. For outstation charging infra near Delhi is not all that bad. Have driven to neighboring towns several times and never faced any charging issues. One certainly has to plan and install the charging apps beforehand. Once you drive EV car it would be difficult to switch back to ICE cars.
u r staying at a area where charging station network is wide ...but for those staying at rural area where even proper roads r a myth and electricity is not there buying a EV defeats the purpose, plus u havent performed a long drive through a road where charging stations r nt there then i will c ur satisfaction...u agree or not India is still way behind US and China in terms of charging station network and infrastructure, i have seen lots of TATA customers saying most of the tata charging station r not working even if the app shows u they r and also the charging speed is very low....simply pushing people to buy EVs without establishing the infrastructure for that wont solve the problem,u cant take a EV as primary car in some tier 2 and all tier 3 cities...plus if u r a environmentalist then even ev cars cause much more pollution not directly but indirectly because extraction of lithium fr batteries causes much more polllution than the pollution caused by ice cars in their entire life. So at present scenario in India Evs r not the answer..best to go for hybrids
@@mickeysam9762 no one is pushing you to buy an ev. stop whining . those who want to buy an ev can buy . it is not like government has banned ice vehicles.
Can u Post review after 5 years , same place... I am using Nexon diesel 2017 model and it still runs like 2017 car... Hope ur car retains the same range and reliability
@@prathameshbirajdar8778 in 8 years i will save over 10 lakh in petrol in my zs ev . considering my mutual fund portfolio grow at 12 % my saving will be in excess of 16 lakh . it cost around 8 lakh to replace ev battery . so considering their is no 15 year limit on ev cars i intend to use this ev for at least 30 years.
When was the last time you saw a stranded EV? The main problem is the FUD from media channels. Who drives 400kms a day without stopping? Rule #1 of buying an EV. Take opinion from a EV Owner..not from someone who has never driven or owned an EV. Some how people are fixated with range and battery life post 8 years. Life of the battery is beyond the life of the car. How much range do you need for your daily needs? 450km? A 200km Tiago costs under 10L. How many automatic cars come under 10L with that kind of performance and running cost? Zero. Coming to charging infrastructure ..has anyone heard of "PLUGSHARE" ? There are over 10k DC fast chargers available right now. 90% of owners charge at home. Sure Evs right now aren't for everyone, but they make perfect sense for a city car.

Absolutely agree. Rather than focusing on low cost hybrid cars, over-hyping of EVs was done, and only a few organizations gained from it possibly. There was no benefit for the end consumer.
Video was very elaborative on shortcomings of EV vehicles. But we have to take into account that these are first generation of EV cars and technology is working it's way up 24×7.With that in mind what I think is by 2030 we will be able to bring EV cars with 1000 km range and fast charging that too with half of today's cost.Same shift we have witnessed with mobiles and computers.
Petrol Hybrid engines are the future for Indian Market... Hopefully Government reduce the taxation on hybrid engines and hope Car makers will come up with compact battery design to not forgo boot space
It's high time where Govt should reduce taxes on hybrid cars and encourage Japanese brands to launch more and more Hybrid cars in India.. Everyone knows hybrid cars are more Environment friendly compared to ICE cars and more practical compared to Evs but heard that some manufacturers are opposing the decision of reducing taxes on hybrids to 20% in SIAM because they don't have hybrid technology..not 100% sure about the news but if it's true then its concerning..
@@theelectricmile474 lol 50% of electricity produced in India is COAL alone, much worse than petrol. Which indirectly powers all EV's. Half backed knowledge & an intelligent person is still a disaster. EV will make sense only when basic electric grid is majority renewable, even hydrogen are useless until this basic thing is fixed as electrolysis requires electricity. I like & support EV but don't be a delulu ;)
@Saahilll True bro that's smart, instead of incentivizing Japanese brands, gov should boost development of in-house hybrid tech as a transitioning layer for next 20years until electric grid production are majority renewable. EV are the future anyways. But this will vastly help the temperature crisis & pollution in congested cities that will unfold in upcoming years in India.
Prices have to come down by 25% more and warranty of minimum 10 years for EVs to make sense. Even Ola knows this and has started giving 8 year warranty on its scooters.
YES YOU ARE RIGHT... EV CAN BE A ADD ON IN METROS FOR LOCAL COMMUTE .. BUT CAN NOT BE A PRIMARY CAR IN OTHER TIRE II / III CITIES AND RURAL INDIA....👍👍
Honestly the lithium batteries extraction causes more pollution than petrol cars lifetime pollution, EVs are more harmful for the environment, and many more cons as mentioned in the video and not to forget they can blast anytime even without an accident. So the only option was and is the hybrids
I bought EV in Tier 2 city and very happy with my decision. I regularly commute from Akola to Pune ( journey distance is 520 Kms) and never faced any issue. You just need to plan your trip properly and need to have knowledge of using mobile apps. In Tier 2 it is more advantageous as you can easily install rooftop solar panels and literally make your fuel cost to zero for short travels. And if current EV cars to be outdated in next 4-5 years then petrol and diesel surely will be. And Hybris cars will not add much value unless there is plug in hybrid option available in market.
Sir, aap ka market study bohot hi excellent hai...as compared to other auto videos...which are very nonsense to watch...your each and every video has sense and kind of guidance...great work as usual.
I think the biggest anxiety is about the random EV breakdown on roads. Specifically with the Tata EV cars citing HV alert. Nobody gonna risk their family on road like that. Never.
It's all about planning the commute, the same thing will happen if you're going from a way where there is no petrol station, unplanned route no fuel, even a fuel car owner will plea for help
The biggest problem of the EV is the battery. I am owner of an EV Scooter which I purchased before Covid. During Covid it didn't run that much so the battery of my E Scooter gets degraded to such a point that now after 4 years it doesn't even give 20 kms range. So from my experience, I will never buy an EV. Also 99% of people in India who drive cars have a daily usage of less than 20-30 kms. Which means buying a Petrol Vehicle will be much better than an EV any day. As you said, in the same amount of money, one will get a bigger car with better space. Someone who is spending more than ₹15 lacs on a car can easily spend ₹10k monthly on petrol. That's the cost to drive a petrol car without any headaches or anxiety.
@@nev.m1234 one need to drive 100 kms daily to spend ₹1000 on petrol. Which will come to cost of ₹30,000 per month.. It will be better to take a room on rent near to work place or use local train rather than travelling so much daily..
@@contactsouvik that is ur problem because if u buy ev u must know ur usage...in most of city people are happy to use ev because they use daily more than 50km so it becomes better choice... If u use hardly 300 to 500 km than EVs are definitely not for u... EV cars are easy to drive in city as well because of no gear box....so if u compare Tiago cng car with EVs than u pay same almost after subsidy ....may be 1 or 2 lac extra only maximum
This is just the start of EV revolution. With time and development of technology range of the EVs will definitely improve. Its time for EVs. Fossil fuel to bid adieu. Even world-renowned Swedish truck and Bus maker Scania has said that they will emphasize only on E vehicles henceforth.
Maruti is very smart. They knew well ahead of time that EV is not going to sell. So they have not launched EVs despite having their technology ready for EV. Very smart move. Now when the other manufacturers will struggle to recover their cost Maruti is comfortably placed as they don't have backlog of EVs standing in their factory or dealership. Now just watch Maruti, they will launch EVs only when there are as many charging stations as petrol pumps. Till then they will not take a risk. I'm not a maruti fan but just sharing my thought how smart they are.
@@sivakumarbalasubramanian5925 I even doubt Hydrogen fuel cell as it's expansive technology. Most middle-class people have local usage of their cars. Majority of population don't even drive more than 800 kms monthly. In that sense the addition cost of fuel cell cars won't be recovered by amount of petrol saved. For these low running cars how much worth of petrol you will buy in the entire life span of the car? It won't even half of the additional price you pay for the fuel cell technology. I'm just guessing. We actually don't have any clarity on the topic although so many experts are saying a lot about fuel cell cars just as they said about EVs. Best to use common sense and wait. Pure IC engines are always the best choice. And don't sell your old cars. Maintain them well and drive it for long long time just like US. More you sell and buy more cars on the road and more pollution it will create. All these BS 6/phase 2 and what not will not going to save the planet. The amount of cars scrapped in India annually is not even 10% of the new cars sold. So petrol/diesel combustion is increasing only. Govt should concentrate less on extracting revenue at the cost of selling BS6 Phs2 cars. It's only increasing the number of engines on the road both old and new increasing pollution.
Very Correct, even CNG car is headache, recently coming back from Goa to Pune on 28th January , on entire route CNG was unavailable, did checked with 8-9 filling station , near Shirwal one filling station had CNG but queue had more that 32 vehicles.
Right sir, prices of an EV is too high as of a primary car but can't use it as a primary car. And vice-versa it can't be considered as a secondary vehicle as 15lacs couldn't be considered as secondary investment.
@@myselfyuvi may be, it's all about opinion. I am not good at account's, but I suppose it is an investment which provides us things as under: 1. Safety for family and self. 2.

@@myselfyuvi met with an accident 4 months back, me and my family are safe in such a big accident, my 15 lacs are recovered as everyone was safe. As already mentioned I am not good at accounting, my accounting is simple, my car saved all of my family, and for your question my simple answer is that if I would have lost anyone in past accident 15lacs or 50 lacs investment was of no use but this minor 15lacs investment had saved lives worth my life. 15 lac is just a amount I will earn in an year by max. 2nd. I hadn't purchased a car to get return on it, it's all about safety and comfort and status. My car was an investment that had returned me more then I invested on it.

Absolutely true. Of all the car manufacturers, looks like Maruti seems to have assessed the scenario( not jumping in early or still contemplating) pretty well. Only time will tell us who we're all right. My take is, Electric cars can be your secong car for city runs or weekend jaunts of 150-250 kms unless they are very expensive cars where range can be around 400+ kms.
Beg to differ Sir and the reason might be that I am based out of bangalore. The charging infrastructure is superb in Bangalore. I had shortlisted XUV300 for 16lacs onraod and XUV400 for 18.5lacs onroad. Finally went for XUV400. Reason 1 : For those based in Karnataka, Congress has Gruh jyoti scheme which offers no electricity bill at home upto 200units. So my running cost is practically nil and will be able to recover the difference amount fairly sooner. I know this might change in few years but until then I am enjoying the benefits :D Reason 2 : Simple calculation for everyone thinking battery replacement will be required or will be expensive... Let's take an example of NMC battery which is supposed to have 2000 charging life cycle on paper and XUV400 gives 280 km range per charge today. Worst case lets say NMC gives only 1500 charge cycles in its life time and lets assume I am getting only 100 km range per full charge on an average :) Simple multiplication for total range in its life time - 1,50,000km Now how many ICE engines practically run that many kms in their lifetime? :) PS : I really love your videos sir. I might be wrong but this is is my take on the whole EV thing :)
You are absolutely right sir. You got to add higher Insurance Premium as well because of higher Cost of EV Cars. Plus Electricity Units for charging. Servicing Cost remains the same or higher. Biggest Con is you are always in doubts about reaching your destination because of uncertain charging indication of kms it can cover. Battery Warranty for EV is 8 years. Overall there is hardly any saving against ICE. Hybrid is way better & economical option than EV Cars. Hybrids are slightly expensive than ICE but offers better fuel efficiency.
I am quite surprised by your analysis. It seems that you are disconnected from reality. Though EV charging stations are not in big numbers but surely it's growing. I have many friends who are driving as far as 350 kms without facing any issues as one can easily find a EV charging stations in every 100-150 kms range easily. Moreover an EV car primarily used for city commuting has no range anxiety as well as charging issue as most of them use standard 15 amps slow charging.
Lok ev cars karidte hui kitni saal hui hai? 2 saal 3 saal? Kamse kam 10 saal toh hone de tab bata chalega ev cars value for money hai ya nahi😆. 9 ya 10 saal ke baad jab apne dosto ki ev gadi ki battery damaged hojaega na tab bolna kaisa hai gadi😂.
Cities like Bangalore is best suited for ev's. With no road tax, the price difference between petrol car and ev is less and the infra is extremely good within the city. So even the low range car with lesser cost is perfect. Recently purchased a tiago ev mr variant and it's much better for city commutes than any other mode. Once battery prices are reduced, even in case of replacement, cost would be much lesser than today after 8 years.
Not at all. Peak hour traffic is insane in Bengaluru. Your EV battery will drain in no time. You can't shut and start constantly, you have to wait in the heat and dust so you will need AC. You won't see many EVs in Bengaluru. Your entire battery will deplete in just reaching office just three days a week.
I use my Tiago EV in Goa and enjoy the silent drive everyday without any problem for the last 6 months and also saved around a lakh on running fuel cost... The price drop of Tata cars is attributed to the drop in battery prices and not a drop in sale as they have a huge waiting list for their EV cars... Please check the facts... 😂 I am eagerly awaiting to buy the Curvv EV no sooner it arrives... 🎉
@siddharthpandit... After using my Tata Tiago EV for 1,60,000 in 8 years withij the traction battery and motor warranty period (but I am sure I will achieve this 160 k figure even before 8 years), I will be saving atleast Rs. 12,00,000/- which is over and above the cost of my Tata Tiago EV... I don't need any resale amount on it and moreover there won't be any resale value on ICE cars too by then, on which you will be spending almost Rs. 15,00,000/- on fuel cost alone to drive it 1,60,000 kms leave aside the maintenance cost of the ICE...
you can't really trust govt with petrol prices. as soon as majority shift to lousy CNG cars, govt will increase petrol prices to new highs, in that scenario, re-sell value of ICE will be equivalent of it's metal only. When you purchase EV, you need to take into account the kind of performance it gives you. It can best ICE vehicle twice it's cost in it's driving pleasure. Buy EV for it's performance or daily running too high. Anything else, it's a stupid decision.
it is not all about range and charging infrastructure. The main issue is the Price difference of 4-5 lakh rupes between EV and its counterpart ICE. Also, automakers are launching EV versions of existing ICE models So no exclusivity like TESLA so automatically they realize price gap and break even KMs
1. Charging headache? Just plan ahead 2. Resale? Buy to drive not resale. 3. Battery replace? 2500 to 3000 recharge cycles and still will be upto 50 to 60% You have to give unbiased opinion.
It is the government's compulsion to bring people on EV, and after that GPS will be installed inside it. And in the name of pollution in EV car, your car will be stopped anywhere through GPS, with just one command from the Government. Please understand this. You are in the line of being made a slave.
Not it's ground reality...un biased reviews..long trip pe enjoy karne jate hai na ki plan karne ke liye charging ka headache ke liye...resale value matters paise free me nahi ate to 5 sal me phenk de
UR Right 1)Price is a challenge. 2) Government is in double mind and unsure on right figures about Saving on Crude Import And Loosing on Tax Exemption . 3) Stage of Exemption must have begun with Hybrid for 3 years with Marginal switchovers to PureEV on next 3 years Then At par in both segments. Vaise Bhidu apni baat ghar mey bhi kaun samajhtaa hai.? Phir kaayku tension lenekaa Bhidu? Apna 1Son hai Uski picture chal ne do😀
The main problem with Ev cars is the upfront price premium of 4 to 5 lacs consumers have to pay for the same petrol engines. So people can opt for cheaper petrol engines and the same extra money save can be invested in FDs and with the interest earned can be used to fill petrol. With no tension for range or practicality petrol engines are still the best.
Premium yes...thats the premium for better performance, zero vibration, zero emission, one pedal driving, never visit or smell petrol, zero sound pollution (too many late night chapris with modified silceners). Yes range is important if you drive more than 200km in the city like aUber driver.
I don’t own an EV but having travelled in Blu Smart Electric cabs, I find that it’s super comfortable because of the silent and vibration free cabin. I would want to buy an EV just for that comfort. Right now I cannot do so because I don’t have a dedicated charging point in my apartment.
Ev are costing 4/5 lkh extra on petrol counter part. Which is major drawback. If punch petrol descent model is priced at 7.5 lkh and ev is priced at 11 lkh. If it would be 9.5-10 lkh then it would be practical for daily running consumer. I was also having plan for ev but changed my mind after calculation. 4_5 lkh extra plus interest.
Same reason i cancelled ev. The upfront cost is too high not logical who drive less. I did the calculation based on my driving distance petrol car is cheaper
They are saying battery price slashed. We need ask ourselves is that truely reliable in long run? Is that ownership cost is truly less? Why nobody is talking about battery replacement cost?
Well said, I like a car which is fun to drive. Not plan everyday where to charge while driving after paying hefty money. Resale matters as very few use their car for more than 5 years.
Right now, the EV technology is relatively new and the cost will be high as well but within 3 to 5 years, EV will be cheaper and more reliable than ICE cars. The only thing it need to succeed is a reliable charging network. This video suggests that EV is destined to fail which is a total misinformation.
Brother, the EV cars are not for everyone. It totally depends upon where you live and what your needs are. No person drives a car more than 200 km every day. I am an engineer. I worked on my needs and i purchased ev. My daily up down distance is 160 kms. And i am doing it very happily in my Ev. I charge my ev at my home. And it takes 4-5 hours to charge. And every day when i return home i return it with an above 30 percent battery. And I drive with 4 co passengers with 5 bags in the trunk. And speed is between 70 to 80 km/hr. And if you drive an ev for a single time you will not return back to ICEs 😀. The performance is mind blowing. It cruises and takes over like a sports car with no lags whatsoever. It is a brilliant concept. So, if your daily commute or up down is less than 200 kms and in your area there is no electricity problem then Evs are for you for sure. Before Ev i was a proud owner of Ford Ecosport Diesel and drove it daily for the same kms. And in one month it consumed a diesel of 18000 to 20000 Rs with a service cost of around 6000 to 7000 after every 10000 kms. And now ev costs me just 1.25 Rs per km including service cost. So, people apply your own mind, work on your needs and take decisions accordingly. Good luck.
True. If your daily running is large, EV can be thought of as vehicle to reduce cost. But unreliable EVs cannot be your primary car. If your car gets damaged, roadside mechanic cannot help you and people don't have EV as their secondary car, so they are stuck with a car at service centre while paying premium over petrol cars, not to mention become butt of the joke in your colony.
Too much range anxiety with EVs. People are not able to enjoy their long road trips and vacations because of this. They are having to charge their batteries 2-3 times a day during long road trips as single charge can only cover 200-220km on highway service is too low. Just imagine the headache. It's easy to say that EV should be used only as a city car but most people buy one car that can go anywhere. We don't buy one car for city, another for village, another for highways, another for mountains etc. etc. Charging infra is not good. Most fast chargers are still slow. Tata chargers are just 25KW which is not fast enough. Electricity rate at fast charging stations are already too high and will only increase going forward which will negate any savings made against not buying petrol. Resale value of EV after 8 years, when the battery warranty expires, will be next to nothing. This is because 50% of the car cost is the battery itself. The problems are too many. I am still a fan of EV but range and charging stations need to increase a lot more before it becomes viable for the aam admi.
Problem EV mai nahi , manufactures jo lootna chah raha hai . Gst/cess cut jo hai vo kudg battery price jitna hai par ye oem bahut zyada paise mai bech raha hai . EV is a lot better car and it deserves support.
Exactly I don't know why the government is hell bent to shove EV to customers Tata is gone mad...First they should consolidate on existing inventory. It should be gradual or hybrid is better
Biggest disadvantage 1- Initial price is 3,4lacs more 2- battery cost is whooping 5,6 lacs 3- range limitations So no meaning as u r not saving money in the beginning,and after warranty period,BIG AMOUNT needed for battery replacement 4,5lacs
There are several factors for EV 1. Infrastructure for charging Not all people live in bungalows which can give easy access to charging, most people in the metro are in buildings and apartments. The people who can afford premium prices of ev 2. Charge times, In today's fast pace life people want everything fast, who has time for 8 hour charge, and above all range anxiety, running EV with constantly keeping an eye on how much battery left? 3. EVs battery replacement cost is higher and no one will buy it second hand once you use it for 5 years, who buys second hand EV with battery health of 50% This is all new tech so the people are excited, pls have some interviews with people who have EV for 5 years and ask them about anxiety, and will they buy 2nd EV? India has huge potential for EV if it was promoted honestly. Showing range of 500km and then giving real figures of 250km, is illogical
Sir , you raised right point .As I am looking forward to buy a new car with latest technology since last 04 years . But coudn't buy it till date due to further scope of technological amendments in the EV, like solid battry and high range etc. also. It now seems will take take long time. So, again I am back to with petrol or cng car after lapse of 04 years. Both hybrid and ICE vehicle require atleast 4- 5 lacks extra budget. And hybrid require high maintenance cost.
I think once a bigger player like maruti enters, the charging infrastructure should improve. We can already see that ola has taken giant steps in annoucing increasing the charging network by 5 times the current size. I drive my tiago ev in the city only and its possibly the best car for city. I've always charged at home and take the car for tasks which I used to do on bike earlier. For the highways I currently have a xl6. I think at this time, one can't have a ev for the hightway as the only car. It needs to be a second car. On popular highways, ev are possible due to known charging infra and youtuber reviewing routes / their experience driving the ev on that route. But unknown or less known roads, ev is risky. Govt should have focussed more on plugin hybrids more than the conventional hybrids. I think till now only mg had showcassed a plugin hybrid.
I’m a layman auto enthusiast yet I can assert with certainty that no way EVs are going to be the mainstream product in automotive sector . Yes hybrid will gain traction manyfold when they start to come in budget segment with acceptable pricing
Except Delhi ....Ev ka charging infrastructure badhana padega.. real time main dikha Raha hota hai waha charger band hota hai..late night ko service available hi nai hoti.. range anxiety rahegi..or sabse badi baat charge Ghar pe karo to cost effective hai . Bahar se 3 time costly hai...❤
Thanks for sharing the ground reality. I absolutely agree with your point about the hype created by various agencies around EV cars. Suzuki and Toyota I think have made smart decision based on ground realities and do not have any EV car till date. I believe TCO for EV's is way too high and companies should have focused more on hybrid engines in their cars than EV's
Right kudos to you ....perfectly said ...all issue are from government they don't help to grow ev allover And same no support in manufacturing market in any side any kind of business They have to think to built india every point
Regarding the technological advancements of EVs it's the same as that of ICE cars. But as the EV becomes mainstream and reduces in subsidy, the features will be reduced and cost cutting will be more, so better to buy EV now. EVs(90%+) are higher and more efficient than ICE cars (30%). So EVs are the future, by strict BS emission norms ICE cars are going to be costly compared to EVs
@@GauravDhandhukia Offcourse they can, Lithium price reduced by 80-90% in last 10 years. Every country is pushing for net zero. The only proven one is EV (as of now) with least total emission. Check the price of Diesel cars for cheaper versions, the same will happen eventually for petrol.
Make it easier to search for a charging station on Google maps. Additionally make it show if that charging point is occupied or not, if it is fast charging one or not. Then only people will start trusting ev cars. Make it an easier ownership experience.
Best way to go with cng or fuel efficient petrol cars, hybrid is also a good option, swift with hybrid engine will pave way for more automobile manufacturers to offer hybrid engine in smaller hatchbacks and micro suvs segments.
Absolutely rightly said...to the point..poor indians are being fooled by companies and some so called fake youtubers..as u said the future is ev but its gonna take atleast 5 to 7 years and till then the present ev cars will be outdated...100% agree to ur analysis 👌👍💯
Just the day when Maruti Suzuki unveilled series hybrid technology in upcoming swift/dzire/fronx/baleno, these arrogant EV companies have felt the heat and are now reducing prices of already overpriced EV cars.
I completed 2 years and 42000+ in my nexon ev max, it's a fantastic car. No major issues and economical cost of running. Service cost is less than my bike servicing cost. If you can afford go for ev and you will love it. Power, pickup, silence is best .
After all negetive points about EV, people will still prefer to purchase ev cars if price is brought near petrol cars. Main issue is with the price of ev cars. Many states do not offer ev subsidy.
Tigor EV and Ola scooters were really struggling to climb medium steep road of Nandi Hills Bangalore. The passengers in the cars got down and had to give it a push for it to be able to climb a steeper incline. Very sad for those who've already purchased EVs believing in the Company's marketing gimmicks.
Sir, I am regular follower of you, some of your earlier videos, you used to say to go for EV cars in one of the videos you mentioned why Maruti is still not coming up with EV cars. So, let me know can we go for EV or not or we need to wait for some time?
I go on ong drive, 800, 1000 or even 1200 kms per day, Lucknow to Indore, Lucknow to Jabalpur, or Lucknow to Nagpur in a single drive, without taking a halt, Evs are almost twice the cost of a petrol car, EVs are totally useless for me. 😃😃😃😃
I have completed 205000 Green kms in less than 3 yrs. Best part is same company fitted MRF wanderer tyres. It's my primary car never used diesel/ petrol car from last 3yrs. Almost zero maintenance. Only front Wipers 300Rs Aux battery 5k link Rod 900 Rs changed service cost 1000-5000Rs Max. Battery can be reburnished. Complete battery/ change may not be required. I am very Happy on EV Green kms. Hybrid cars are more dangerous compare to ICE cars
The Prime Minister has declared installation of 10000000 Roof top solar power systems in in India in 2024. simultaneously, the PM has declared spread of EV charging stations all over the country. Roof top solar systems will reduce the electricity bill of the consumers and at the same time will provide surplus electricity for EVs. Advent of Tesla has changed the scenario completely. India has immense potential of solar energy. With more and more people switching to Solar roof top power, EV cars have better chance of getting cheap power. More EVs on road will translate into big saving in terms of lesser consumption of Petrol/Diesel, ultimately reduction in the import budget of crude oil.

Ev companies should launch 10 years leasing policy for each buyers. To overcome the resale value, company offers the new ev vehicle against old ev vehicle if buyer raises complaints. Budget of emi amount should be reasonable.
I purchased two EV cars in end 2023. Nexon and Atto3. Am extremely satisfied with the range, speed and comfort these new gen cars provide. Have charged 99% times from the comfort of home. For city driving charging the cars twice a week is enough. For outstation charging infra near Delhi is not all that bad. Have driven to neighboring towns several times and never faced any charging issues. One certainly has to plan and install the charging apps beforehand. Once you drive EV car it would be difficult to switch back to ICE cars.
u r staying at a area where charging station network is wide ...but for those staying at rural area where even proper roads r a myth and electricity is not there buying a EV defeats the purpose, plus u havent performed a long drive through a road where charging stations r nt there then i will c ur satisfaction...u agree or not India is still way behind US and China in terms of charging station network and infrastructure, i have seen lots of TATA customers saying most of the tata charging station r not working even if the app shows u they r and also the charging speed is very low....simply pushing people to buy EVs without establishing the infrastructure for that wont solve the problem,u cant take a EV as primary car in some tier 2 and all tier 3 cities...plus if u r a environmentalist then even ev cars cause much more pollution not directly but indirectly because extraction of lithium fr batteries causes much more polllution than the pollution caused by ice cars in their entire life. So at present scenario in India Evs r not the answer..best to go for hybrids
@@mickeysam9762 no one is pushing you to buy an ev. stop whining . those who want to buy an ev can buy . it is not like government has banned ice vehicles.

Charging infra is shit
@@prathameshbirajdar8778 in 8 years i will save over 10 lakh in petrol in my zs ev . considering my mutual fund portfolio grow at 12 % my saving will be in excess of 16 lakh . it cost around 8 lakh to replace ev battery . so considering their is no 15 year limit on ev cars i intend to use this ev for at least 30 years.
When was the last time you saw a stranded EV? The main problem is the FUD from media channels. Who drives 400kms a day without stopping?
Rule #1 of buying an EV. Take opinion from a EV Owner..not from someone who has never driven or owned an EV. Some how people are fixated with range and battery life post 8 years. Life of the battery is beyond the life of the car. How much range do you need for your daily needs? 450km? A 200km Tiago costs under 10L. How many automatic cars come under 10L with that kind of performance and running cost? Zero. Coming to charging infrastructure ..has anyone heard of "PLUGSHARE" ? There are over 10k DC fast chargers available right now. 90% of owners charge at home. Sure Evs right now aren't for everyone, but they make perfect sense for a city car.
You are absolutely spot on.
Cheers
200 km claimed range is too small !

Absolutely agree. Rather than focusing on low cost hybrid cars, over-hyping of EVs was done, and only a few organizations gained from it possibly. There was no benefit for the end consumer.
Hybrid cars and low cost cannot be used in the same sentence.
@@protograde2723 ok, and EVs can be?
lower than hybrid yes@@heavyDriver320
Video was very elaborative on shortcomings of EV vehicles. But we have to take into account that these are first generation of EV cars and technology is working it's way up 24×7.With that in mind what I think is by 2030 we will be able to bring EV cars with 1000 km range and fast charging that too with half of today's cost.Same shift we have witnessed with mobiles and computers.
Petrol Hybrid engines are the future for Indian Market... Hopefully Government reduce the taxation on hybrid engines and hope Car makers will come up with compact battery design to not forgo boot space
No no ऐसा तो govt नही करेगी।ev car के लिए टोल फ्री हो जायेगा।मगर हाइब्रिड कार,other big vehicles पे कुछ भी माफ नहीं करेगी।
It's high time where Govt should reduce taxes on hybrid cars and encourage Japanese brands to launch more and more Hybrid cars in India.. Everyone knows hybrid cars are more Environment friendly compared to ICE cars and more practical compared to Evs but heard that some manufacturers are opposing the decision of reducing taxes on hybrids to 20% in SIAM because they don't have hybrid technology..not 100% sure about the news but if it's true then its concerning..
A Hybrid car is a fossil car with a cellphone battery! Ask the Japanese to make zero emission hybrid....ooo wait that's an electric!
@@theelectricmile474 lol 50% of electricity produced in India is COAL alone, much worse than petrol. Which indirectly powers all EV's.
Half backed knowledge & an intelligent person is still a disaster.
EV will make sense only when basic electric grid is majority renewable, even hydrogen are useless until this basic thing is fixed as electrolysis requires electricity.
I like & support EV but don't be a delulu ;)
@Saahilll True bro that's smart, instead of incentivizing Japanese brands, gov should boost development of in-house hybrid tech as a transitioning layer for next 20years until electric grid production are majority renewable. EV are the future anyways. But this will vastly help the temperature crisis & pollution in congested cities that will unfold in upcoming years in India.
Prices have to come down by 25% more and warranty of minimum 10 years for EVs to make sense. Even Ola knows this and has started giving 8 year warranty on its scooters.
YES YOU ARE RIGHT... EV CAN BE A ADD ON IN METROS FOR LOCAL COMMUTE .. BUT CAN NOT BE A PRIMARY CAR IN OTHER TIRE II / III CITIES AND RURAL INDIA....👍👍
Honestly the lithium batteries extraction causes more pollution than petrol cars lifetime pollution, EVs are more harmful for the environment, and many more cons as mentioned in the video and not to forget they can blast anytime even without an accident. So the only option was and is the hybrids
Tier 2/3 cities radius is at max 200 km which is enough for an EV car. But customer mindset is not allowing him to purchase the EV car.
@@vishal.choudhury no its not enough for those whose travel is more due to lack of charging station network
I bought EV in Tier 2 city and very happy with my decision. I regularly commute from Akola to Pune ( journey distance is 520 Kms) and never faced any issue. You just need to plan your trip properly and need to have knowledge of using mobile apps. In Tier 2 it is more advantageous as you can easily install rooftop solar panels and literally make your fuel cost to zero for short travels. And if current EV cars to be outdated in next 4-5 years then petrol and diesel surely will be. And Hybris cars will not add much value unless there is plug in hybrid option available in market.
hybrid is better option
Sir, aap ka market study bohot hi excellent hai...as compared to other auto videos...which are very nonsense to watch...your each and every video has sense and kind of guidance...great work as usual.
Which TH-camrs are you talking about?
I think the biggest anxiety is about the random EV breakdown on roads. Specifically with the Tata EV cars citing HV alert. Nobody gonna risk their family on road like that. Never.
I've met a Delhi passing ev Tata tigor owner pleading and bargaining with a property owner to let him charge for 8 hours.
It's all about planning the commute, the same thing will happen if you're going from a way where there is no petrol station, unplanned route no fuel, even a fuel car owner will plea for help
The biggest problem of the EV is the battery. I am owner of an EV Scooter which I purchased before Covid. During Covid it didn't run that much so the battery of my E Scooter gets degraded to such a point that now after 4 years it doesn't even give 20 kms range. So from my experience, I will never buy an EV.
Also 99% of people in India who drive cars have a daily usage of less than 20-30 kms. Which means buying a Petrol Vehicle will be much better than an EV any day. As you said, in the same amount of money, one will get a bigger car with better space. Someone who is spending more than ₹15 lacs on a car can easily spend ₹10k monthly on petrol. That's the cost to drive a petrol car without any headaches or anxiety.
Pese kitne bachaye
If daily petrol cost is 1000 than EVs definitely gonna be more adaptable.....and for urben user EVs are more effective
@@nev.m1234 loss hi ho gaya kyunki utna run hi nahi hua scooter. Petrol scooter would have been better
@@nev.m1234 one need to drive 100 kms daily to spend ₹1000 on petrol. Which will come to cost of ₹30,000 per month.. It will be better to take a room on rent near to work place or use local train rather than travelling so much daily..
@@contactsouvik that is ur problem because if u buy ev u must know ur usage...in most of city people are happy to use ev because they use daily more than 50km so it becomes better choice... If u use hardly 300 to 500 km than EVs are definitely not for u... EV cars are easy to drive in city as well because of no gear box....so if u compare Tiago cng car with EVs than u pay same almost after subsidy ....may be 1 or 2 lac extra only maximum
This is just the start of EV revolution. With time and development of technology range of the EVs will definitely improve. Its time for EVs. Fossil fuel to bid adieu. Even world-renowned Swedish truck and Bus maker Scania has said that they will emphasize only on E vehicles henceforth.
Whenever I have to seek true and honest reviews, I rely on you.
Thanks for being so true to your profession ❤️
Maruti is very smart. They knew well ahead of time that EV is not going to sell. So they have not launched EVs despite having their technology ready for EV. Very smart move. Now when the other manufacturers will struggle to recover their cost Maruti is comfortably placed as they don't have backlog of EVs standing in their factory or dealership. Now just watch Maruti, they will launch EVs only when there are as many charging stations as petrol pumps. Till then they will not take a risk. I'm not a maruti fan but just sharing my thought how smart they are.
EV is not future it is Hydrogen Fuel Cell
@@sivakumarbalasubramanian5925 I even doubt Hydrogen fuel cell as it's expansive technology. Most middle-class people have local usage of their cars. Majority of population don't even drive more than 800 kms monthly. In that sense the addition cost of fuel cell cars won't be recovered by amount of petrol saved. For these low running cars how much worth of petrol you will buy in the entire life span of the car? It won't even half of the additional price you pay for the fuel cell technology. I'm just guessing. We actually don't have any clarity on the topic although so many experts are saying a lot about fuel cell cars just as they said about EVs. Best to use common sense and wait. Pure IC engines are always the best choice. And don't sell your old cars. Maintain them well and drive it for long long time just like US. More you sell and buy more cars on the road and more pollution it will create. All these BS 6/phase 2 and what not will not going to save the planet. The amount of cars scrapped in India annually is not even 10% of the new cars sold. So petrol/diesel combustion is increasing only. Govt should concentrate less on extracting revenue at the cost of selling BS6 Phs2 cars. It's only increasing the number of engines on the road both old and new increasing pollution.
Very Correct, even CNG car is headache, recently coming back from Goa to Pune on 28th January , on entire route CNG was unavailable, did checked with 8-9 filling station , near Shirwal one filling station had CNG but queue had more that 32 vehicles.
CNG was never meant for such long routes. Har cheez ka ek use case hota hai
CNG has added option of petrol..but not the case with EV...it has to be towed.
Right sir, prices of an EV is too high as of a primary car but can't use it as a primary car. And vice-versa it can't be considered as a secondary vehicle as 15lacs couldn't be considered as secondary investment.

Sir you are the most impartial and honest person. Thanks a lot for telling us about this. Lots of respect from Pune, sir.
Honest Banda bindas review 🎉❤
Absolutely true. Of all the car manufacturers, looks like Maruti seems to have assessed the scenario( not jumping in early or still contemplating) pretty well. Only time will tell us who we're all right. My take is, Electric cars can be your secong car for city runs or weekend jaunts of 150-250 kms unless they are very expensive cars where range can be around 400+ kms.
Beg to differ Sir and the reason might be that I am based out of bangalore. The charging infrastructure is superb in Bangalore. I had shortlisted XUV300 for 16lacs onraod and XUV400 for 18.5lacs onroad. Finally went for XUV400.
Reason 1 :
For those based in Karnataka, Congress has Gruh jyoti scheme which offers no electricity bill at home upto 200units. So my running cost is practically nil and will be able to recover the difference amount fairly sooner. I know this might change in few years but until then I am enjoying the benefits :D
Reason 2 :
Simple calculation for everyone thinking battery replacement will be required or will be expensive...
Let's take an example of NMC battery which is supposed to have 2000 charging life cycle on paper and XUV400 gives 280 km range per charge today.
Worst case lets say NMC gives only 1500 charge cycles in its life time and lets assume I am getting only 100 km range per full charge on an average :)
Simple multiplication for total range in its life time - 1,50,000km
Now how many ICE engines practically run that many kms in their lifetime? :)
PS : I really love your videos sir. I might be wrong but this is is my take on the whole EV thing :)
This a very correct perspective. The review looked absolutely biased, this way we never can go towards future Tech. Sorry to see this kind of review.
Bro u have 18 lac car, and ur electric consumption is less than 200 units a month...and that too is free 😮
You are absolutely right sir.
You got to add higher Insurance Premium as well because of higher Cost of EV Cars. Plus Electricity Units for charging.
Servicing Cost remains the same or higher.
Biggest Con is you are always in doubts about reaching your destination because of uncertain charging indication of kms it can cover.
Battery Warranty for EV is 8 years. Overall there is hardly any saving against ICE.
Hybrid is way better & economical option than EV Cars. Hybrids are slightly expensive than ICE but offers better fuel efficiency.
Sir its a great video about the Ev no one in the whole TH-cam has given this truthful information
I am quite surprised by your analysis. It seems that you are disconnected from reality. Though EV charging stations are not in big numbers but surely it's growing. I have many friends who are driving as far as 350 kms without facing any issues as one can easily find a EV charging stations in every 100-150 kms range easily. Moreover an EV car primarily used for city commuting has no range anxiety as well as charging issue as most of them use standard 15 amps slow charging.
Lok ev cars karidte hui kitni saal hui hai? 2 saal 3 saal? Kamse kam 10 saal toh hone de tab bata chalega ev cars value for money hai ya nahi😆. 9 ya 10 saal ke baad jab apne dosto ki ev gadi ki battery damaged hojaega na tab bolna kaisa hai gadi😂.
😂😅
Primary city phir long trip ke liye dusri car lenge? Ya sirf city ke liye alag se 10 lakh rupees leke ev lenge?
Yes this review is biased towards ICE or he had never drove ev.
Your analysis is very effective, thank you sir.
Cities like Bangalore is best suited for ev's. With no road tax, the price difference between petrol car and ev is less and the infra is extremely good within the city. So even the low range car with lesser cost is perfect. Recently purchased a tiago ev mr variant and it's much better for city commutes than any other mode. Once battery prices are reduced, even in case of replacement, cost would be much lesser than today after 8 years.
Not at all. Peak hour traffic is insane in Bengaluru. Your EV battery will drain in no time. You can't shut and start constantly, you have to wait in the heat and dust so you will need AC. You won't see many EVs in Bengaluru. Your entire battery will deplete in just reaching office just three days a week.
@@rajendragangurde4577no. ev battery does not drain much in traffic. it actually recovers charge a bit because of regen braking
Indian heatwave is not suitable for EV with Lion the disaster will happen when 50 percent car will be EV
Honest information as ev infrastructure is still bad......thanks
I use my Tiago EV in Goa and enjoy the silent drive everyday without any problem for the last 6 months and also saved around a lakh on running fuel cost... The price drop of Tata cars is attributed to the drop in battery prices and not a drop in sale as they have a huge waiting list for their EV cars... Please check the facts... 😂
I am eagerly awaiting to buy the Curvv EV no sooner it arrives... 🎉
Congratulations on finding ways to waste your hard earned money.
Do come back and comment about re-sell value of your precious EV or the battery replacement cost past the warranty period.
@siddharthpandit... After using my Tata Tiago EV for 1,60,000 in 8 years withij the traction battery and motor warranty period (but I am sure I will achieve this 160 k figure even before 8 years), I will be saving atleast Rs. 12,00,000/- which is over and above the cost of my Tata Tiago EV... I don't need any resale amount on it and moreover there won't be any resale value on ICE cars too by then, on which you will be spending almost Rs. 15,00,000/- on fuel cost alone to drive it 1,60,000 kms leave aside the maintenance cost of the ICE...
U saved 1 lac on fuel in 6 months,... how many km have u run the car.
you can't really trust govt with petrol prices. as soon as majority shift to lousy CNG cars, govt will increase petrol prices to new highs, in that scenario, re-sell value of ICE will be equivalent of it's metal only. When you purchase EV, you need to take into account the kind of performance it gives you. It can best ICE vehicle twice it's cost in it's driving pleasure. Buy EV for it's performance or daily running too high. Anything else, it's a stupid decision.
100% correct analysis. Thanks for giving a clear overview on the topic.
apka logic barabr hai sir. par logo ko poison taste krna hai ek baar to sab taste karenge. aur companies apna product customers pe test krengi
it is not all about range and charging infrastructure. The main issue is the Price difference of 4-5 lakh rupes between EV and its counterpart ICE. Also, automakers are launching EV versions of existing ICE models So no exclusivity like TESLA so automatically they realize price gap and break even KMs
1. Charging headache? Just plan ahead
2. Resale? Buy to drive not resale.
3. Battery replace? 2500 to 3000 recharge cycles and still will be upto 50 to 60%
You have to give unbiased opinion.
well said. Clearly its a biased review.
It is the government's compulsion to bring people on EV, and after that GPS will be installed inside it.
And in the name of pollution in EV car, your car will be stopped anywhere through GPS, with just one command from the Government. Please understand this. You are in the line of being made a slave.
Not it's ground reality...un biased reviews..long trip pe enjoy karne jate hai na ki plan karne ke liye charging ka headache ke liye...resale value matters paise free me nahi ate to 5 sal me phenk de
Very apt analysis!!!
UR Right
1)Price is a challenge.
2) Government is in double mind and unsure on right figures about
Saving on Crude Import
And
Loosing on Tax Exemption .
3) Stage of Exemption must have begun with Hybrid for 3 years with Marginal switchovers to PureEV on next 3 years
Then
At par in both segments.

For present hybrids are more practical
The main problem with Ev cars is the upfront price premium of 4 to 5 lacs consumers have to pay for the same petrol engines. So people can opt for cheaper petrol engines and the same extra money save can be invested in FDs and with the interest earned can be used to fill petrol. With no tension for range or practicality petrol engines are still the best.
Premium yes...thats the premium for better performance, zero vibration, zero emission, one pedal driving, never visit or smell petrol, zero sound pollution (too many late night chapris with modified silceners). Yes range is important if you drive more than 200km in the city like aUber driver.
@@theelectricmile474 yes electric car is for people who uses car as lifetime property and not for individual who will change cars every 5 to 7 years
Boss, very well explained.
As usual this shows your intense research on the topic.
I don’t own an EV but having travelled in Blu Smart Electric cabs, I find that it’s super comfortable because of the silent and vibration free cabin. I would want to buy an EV just for that comfort. Right now I cannot do so because I don’t have a dedicated charging point in my apartment.
Ev are costing 4/5 lkh extra on petrol counter part. Which is major drawback. If punch petrol descent model is priced at 7.5 lkh and ev is priced at 11 lkh. If it would be 9.5-10 lkh then it would be practical for daily running consumer. I was also having plan for ev but changed my mind after calculation. 4_5 lkh extra plus interest.
Same reason i cancelled ev. The upfront cost is too high not logical who drive less. I did the calculation based on my driving distance petrol car is cheaper
@@ytthings2359 my driving is 70 km daily but then also CNG will be economic for me
Automatic se price compare karo bahi.
They are saying battery price slashed. We need ask ourselves is that truely reliable in long run? Is that ownership cost is truly less? Why nobody is talking about battery replacement cost?
most wont even talk because a owner wont slide towards purchasing a EV
battery have 8 years warranty . even if prices of battery not decrease much you will be earning at least twice of today .
Do you keep your car for 15 years? The life of the battery is 3000 cycles, so that's for an Tiago 600,000km.
battery price will go down in future due to added capacity from manufacturers.
i use nexon ev as my city car..love it in every way. If you compare it with a petrol automatic,, ev makes sense.
Yea comparing to petrol amt just 2L more... that can be recovered in just 20000 km.... Then after..... 1:10 fuel comparison
💯 % PERFECT ANALYSIS.
Well said, I like a car which is fun to drive. Not plan everyday where to charge while driving after paying hefty money. Resale matters as very few use their car for more than 5 years.
It seems petrol compa are not letting the EV infrastructure development...
Investing money in ev cars is a biggest mistake bcoz ev infrastructures has a long path of 10 -15 years to get very well established
Right now, the EV technology is relatively new and the cost will be high as well but within 3 to 5 years, EV will be cheaper and more reliable than ICE cars. The only thing it need to succeed is a reliable charging network. This video suggests that EV is destined to fail which is a total misinformation.
Brother, the EV cars are not for everyone. It totally depends upon where you live and what your needs are.
No person drives a car more than 200 km every day.
I am an engineer. I worked on my needs and i purchased ev. My daily up down distance is 160 kms. And i am doing it very happily in my Ev.
I charge my ev at my home. And it takes 4-5 hours to charge. And every day when i return home i return it with an above 30 percent battery. And I drive with 4 co passengers with 5 bags in the trunk. And speed is between 70 to 80 km/hr.
And if you drive an ev for a single time you will not return back to ICEs 😀.
The performance is mind blowing. It cruises and takes over like a sports car with no lags whatsoever. It is a brilliant concept.
So, if your daily commute or up down is less than 200 kms and in your area there is no electricity problem then Evs are for you for sure.
Before Ev i was a proud owner of Ford Ecosport Diesel and drove it daily for the same kms. And in one month it consumed a diesel of 18000 to 20000 Rs with a service cost of around 6000 to 7000 after every 10000 kms.
And now ev costs me just 1.25 Rs per km including service cost.
So, people apply your own mind, work on your needs and take decisions accordingly.
Good luck.
Which car you have ?
@@subham9574 Tata punch Ev
Same here . Never faced any single issue. Which is the best choice
True. If your daily running is large, EV can be thought of as vehicle to reduce cost. But unreliable EVs cannot be your primary car. If your car gets damaged, roadside mechanic cannot help you and people don't have EV as their secondary car, so they are stuck with a car at service centre while paying premium over petrol cars, not to mention become butt of the joke in your colony.
Bro...i drive 300 km a month ..is EV for me?
I think you presented an eye opener concept for me.Thank u very much sir.Atleast for now I got rid of my confusion.
Too much range anxiety with EVs. People are not able to enjoy their long road trips and vacations because of this. They are having to charge their batteries 2-3 times a day during long road trips as single charge can only cover 200-220km on highway service is too low. Just imagine the headache.
It's easy to say that EV should be used only as a city car but most people buy one car that can go anywhere. We don't buy one car for city, another for village, another for highways, another for mountains etc. etc.
Charging infra is not good. Most fast chargers are still slow. Tata chargers are just 25KW which is not fast enough. Electricity rate at fast charging stations are already too high and will only increase going forward which will negate any savings made against not buying petrol.
Resale value of EV after 8 years, when the battery warranty expires, will be next to nothing. This is because 50% of the car cost is the battery itself.
The problems are too many. I am still a fan of EV but range and charging stations need to increase a lot more before it becomes viable for the aam admi.
Great videos as always.. One small information is that the EV prices are coming down due to battery price reduction.
Problem EV mai nahi , manufactures jo lootna chah raha hai . Gst/cess cut jo hai vo kudg battery price jitna hai par ye oem bahut zyada paise mai bech raha hai .
EV is a lot better car and it deserves support.
Exactly I don't know why the government is hell bent to shove EV to customers Tata is gone mad...First they should consolidate on existing inventory. It should be gradual or hybrid is better
Superb video. Pehle ni nikalna chaiye tha ye video sir👍👌🙏🏻
Biggest disadvantage
1- Initial price is 3,4lacs more
2- battery cost is whooping 5,6 lacs
3- range limitations
So no meaning as u r not saving money in the beginning,and after warranty period,BIG AMOUNT needed for battery replacement 4,5lacs
There are several factors for EV
1. Infrastructure for charging
Not all people live in bungalows which can give easy access to charging, most people in the metro are in buildings and apartments. The people who can afford premium prices of ev
2. Charge times,
In today's fast pace life people want everything fast, who has time for 8 hour charge, and above all range anxiety, running EV with constantly keeping an eye on how much battery left?
3. EVs battery replacement cost is higher and no one will buy it second hand once you use it for 5 years, who buys second hand EV with battery health of 50%
This is all new tech so the people are excited, pls have some interviews with people who have EV for 5 years and ask them about anxiety, and will they buy 2nd EV?
India has huge potential for EV if it was promoted honestly. Showing range of 500km and then giving real figures of 250km, is illogical
The hybrid point is really logically. That should be given preference.
Nice info.
Sir , you raised right point .As I am looking forward to buy a new car with latest technology since last 04 years . But coudn't buy it till date due to further scope of technological amendments in the EV, like solid battry and high range etc. also. It now seems will take take long time. So, again I am back to with petrol or cng car after lapse of 04 years. Both hybrid and ICE vehicle require atleast 4- 5 lacks extra budget. And hybrid require high maintenance cost.
Finally someone is speaking facts boldly! I hope your words reach the concerned sir ji.
I think once a bigger player like maruti enters, the charging infrastructure should improve. We can already see that ola has taken giant steps in annoucing increasing the charging network by 5 times the current size. I drive my tiago ev in the city only and its possibly the best car for city. I've always charged at home and take the car for tasks which I used to do on bike earlier. For the highways I currently have a xl6. I think at this time, one can't have a ev for the hightway as the only car. It needs to be a second car. On popular highways, ev are possible due to known charging infra and youtuber reviewing routes / their experience driving the ev on that route. But unknown or less known roads, ev is risky. Govt should have focussed more on plugin hybrids more than the conventional hybrids. I think till now only mg had showcassed a plugin hybrid.
I’m a layman auto enthusiast yet I can assert with certainty that no way EVs are going to be the mainstream product in automotive sector . Yes hybrid will gain traction manyfold when they start to come in budget segment with acceptable pricing
Hybrid car should be the best option. You are absolutely right sir !
Except Delhi ....Ev ka charging infrastructure badhana padega.. real time main dikha Raha hota hai waha charger band hota hai..late night ko service available hi nai hoti.. range anxiety rahegi..or sabse badi baat charge Ghar pe karo to cost effective hai . Bahar se 3 time costly hai...❤
Electric cars and bikes are still in the nascent stage and there's not enough infrastructure to charge ev
Thanks for sharing the ground reality. I absolutely agree with your point about the hype created by various agencies around EV cars. Suzuki and Toyota I think have made smart decision based on ground realities and do not have any EV car till date.
I believe TCO for EV's is way too high and companies should have focused more on hybrid engines in their cars than EV's
Sorry to disagree with you. Last year saw 84% jump in sales of EVs, this year will see higher jump.
Thanks for the video.. I wanted this video from u for real review..
Right kudos to you ....perfectly said ...all issue are from government they don't help to grow ev allover
And same no support in manufacturing market in any side any kind of business
They have to think to built india every point
Regarding the technological advancements of EVs it's the same as that of ICE cars. But as the EV becomes mainstream and reduces in subsidy, the features will be reduced and cost cutting will be more, so better to buy EV now. EVs(90%+) are higher and more efficient than ICE cars (30%). So EVs are the future, by strict BS emission norms ICE cars are going to be costly compared to EVs
Whatever strict norms are, EV can never be cheaper than ice😂
@@GauravDhandhukia Offcourse they can, Lithium price reduced by 80-90% in last 10 years. Every country is pushing for net zero. The only proven one is EV (as of now) with least total emission. Check the price of Diesel cars for cheaper versions, the same will happen eventually for petrol.
@@krishnachandramenon8 Who's pushing for net zero emissions? US, UK? how much they have pushed? how far they can push?
read news. Everyone is pushing for 0 emissions by 2050 and 30-40% emission reduction by 2030@@GauravDhandhukia
Make it easier to search for a charging station on Google maps. Additionally make it show if that charging point is occupied or not, if it is fast charging one or not. Then only people will start trusting ev cars. Make it an easier ownership experience.
Best way to go with cng or fuel efficient petrol cars, hybrid is also a good option, swift with hybrid engine will pave way for more automobile manufacturers to offer hybrid engine in smaller hatchbacks and micro suvs segments.
Cng is the best option for now
Absolutely rightly said...to the point..poor indians are being fooled by companies and some so called fake youtubers..as u said the future is ev but its gonna take atleast 5 to 7 years and till then the present ev cars will be outdated...100% agree to ur analysis 👌👍💯
Just the day when Maruti Suzuki unveilled series hybrid technology in upcoming swift/dzire/fronx/baleno, these arrogant EV companies have felt the heat and are now reducing prices of already overpriced EV cars.
Ev can be a secondary car option in india .nd how many family can maintain 2 cars in india ..
I completed 2 years and 42000+ in my nexon ev max, it's a fantastic car. No major issues and economical cost of running. Service cost is less than my bike servicing cost. If you can afford go for ev and you will love it. Power, pickup, silence is best .
You're absolutely right ..... the future is Hydrogen, the alternative fuel .... the philosophy of Toyota Motor
Very Correct Sir...Buying EV is a big gamble for a common people...
It's not for common people. It's like buying 2nd home or farm house. Best for dropping kids to school and wife's shopping.

Being naxon ev owners i can say, If you are watching this video in 2024 it doesn't relevant..... at all...!
After all negetive points about EV, people will still prefer to purchase ev cars if price is brought near petrol cars.
Main issue is with the price of ev cars.
Many states do not offer ev subsidy.
Tigor EV and Ola scooters were really struggling to climb medium steep road of Nandi Hills Bangalore. The passengers in the cars got down and had to give it a push for it to be able to climb a steeper incline. Very sad for those who've already purchased EVs believing in the Company's marketing gimmicks.
Sir, I am regular follower of you, some of your earlier videos, you used to say to go for EV cars in one of the videos you mentioned why Maruti is still not coming up with EV cars. So, let me know can we go for EV or not or we need to wait for some time?
If not urgent..wait for 2025-26
The topic I was waiting for... perfect video 👍👍
Very honest review and informative one. I feel hydrogen car is more practical than an EV
I go on ong drive, 800, 1000 or even 1200 kms per day, Lucknow to Indore, Lucknow to Jabalpur, or Lucknow to Nagpur in a single drive, without taking a halt, Evs are almost twice the cost of a petrol car, EVs are totally useless for me.
😃😃😃😃
Only the plugin hybrids are the future. Even 100 KM range is sufficient if it has petrol option for long range.
I can see a huge opportunity of EV battery replacement and repair or refurbishment of battery in future. Will be next unicorn start up.
EVs can grow , only when charging time of batyery reduce to 10 min to full charge from 1 hr
Petrol, diesel, strong Hybrid car prices skyrocketing high fuel prices ⬆️
Totally failed Govt in every aspect... high Inflation is the main concern.
But the government is saying we are in AmritKaal 🤡
I have completed 205000 Green kms in less than 3 yrs.
Best part is same company fitted MRF wanderer tyres.
It's my primary car never used diesel/ petrol car from last 3yrs. Almost zero maintenance. Only front Wipers 300Rs Aux battery 5k link Rod 900 Rs changed service cost 1000-5000Rs Max. Battery can be reburnished. Complete battery/ change may not be required.
I am very Happy on EV Green kms. Hybrid cars are more dangerous compare to ICE cars
Please do not mislead people. EV is better. In china & many other devloped countries EV car's & Two wheeler is increasing.
have you ever heared of switzerland who banned Ev cars completly ?
The Prime Minister has declared installation of 10000000 Roof top solar power systems in in India in 2024. simultaneously, the PM has declared spread of EV charging stations all over the country. Roof top solar systems will reduce the electricity bill of the consumers and at the same time will provide surplus electricity for EVs. Advent of Tesla has changed the scenario completely. India has immense potential of solar energy. With more and more people switching to Solar roof top power, EV cars have better chance of getting cheap power. More EVs on road will translate into big saving in terms of lesser consumption of Petrol/Diesel, ultimately reduction in the import budget of crude oil.
जिनके पास प्रयोग के लिये ev vehicle लेणे के लिये पैसा है वह लेते है.. लेकीन मेरे Hero Electric Scooter का अनुभव बहुत खराब हैं... पाहिली battery एक साल में खप गयी, दुसरी लगाई 11 महिने मे खतंम हूयी. 8 साल पहले की बात है, battery की एक साल warranty थी. Warantee जैसे khatam battery khatam होती थी! Delar थे अकोला महाराष्ट्र में पारसकर होंडा. लोगोंके बहुत complaint आने लगे, unhone एजन्सी छोड दी. 35000 की स्कूटर मैने 6000 में बेंच दोही साल मे....
Genuine video....sir. Ev will be future but it will hike after 2025 as per government...and as market demand
Ev companies should launch 10 years leasing policy for each buyers. To overcome the resale value, company offers the new ev vehicle against old ev vehicle if buyer raises complaints. Budget of emi amount should be reasonable.
Ev sales are increasing day by day, only due to competition price is falling.
Very nice analysis
Problems I see in ev is affordability and reliable charging infra. Also cars should be capable of faster charging
I honestly think Hybrid, Hydrogen, Flex Fuel make more sense than EV
Discount .....NO..NO..NO...great demand for EVs...
