Top 7 Upcoming EV cars in India
India is currently experiencing an EV revolution. Concerns about emissions, climate change, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and creating an environmentally friendly ecology for transportation are what sparked the worldwide EV movement. The EV revolution in India has very much taken off in the two-wheeler and mobility sectors. Still, it has yet to garner the same degree of traction in the commercial four-wheeler vehicle market.
In India, electric vehicles are slowly gaining popularity. While most EVs are now more expensive than Rs 10 lakh, the inexpensive category may soon become fascinating. The list contains the top four upcoming electric vehicles in India. It comprises MG's cost-effective electric car, the Tata Tiago EV, and the Citroen C3 hybrid.
