<h2>Introduction</h2>
Securing a loan for your new electric vehicle in 2025 involves a strategic choice that goes far beyond simply comparing interest rates. You are choosing between two fundamentally different philosophies: the established stability of traditional banks and the specialised agility of new-age fintech lenders. This head-to-head showdown breaks down the comparison across four key factors: Speed, Eligibility, Cost, and Ecosystem Value, helping you decide which path is right for you.
<h2>1. Speed of Disbursement: The High Value of Time</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Traditional Banks (SBI, HDFC, etc.): The loan approval and disbursal process is thorough but can be slow, typically taking between 7 and 15 days due to extensive verification and paperwork requirements.&nbsp;

</li>
<li>
Fintech Lenders (Turno, Revfin): These platforms are built for velocity. Turno promises loan disbursement within a remarkable 48 hours, while Revfin boasts an approval time of just.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
16 minutes through its digital platform.
</li>
<li>
The Verdict: For a salaried individual, a week's delay might be a minor inconvenience. For a commercial driver, two weeks off the road is two weeks of lost income. In the commercial space, speed is not just a feature; it's a critical financial variable.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>2. Eligibility &amp; Underwriting: Who Can Get a Loan?</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Traditional Banks: Rely heavily on conventional credit assessment. A strong CIBIL score, stable income proof, and a comprehensive document trail are essential. This model can often exclude first-time borrowers or those in the informal economy.&nbsp;

</div>
</div>
</div>

&nbsp;
</li>
<li>
Fintech Lenders: Innovate to expand access. Revfin utilises alternative data, such as&nbsp;psychometrics and biometrics,&nbsp;to underwrite loans for individuals with no formal credit history, a game-changer for many aspiring entrepreneurs. Turno also explicitly states it can help customers secure financing even if they are unaware of their credit score.&nbsp;

</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
The Verdict: Banks are best suited for those who are financially established. Fintechs are actively creating pathways to financial inclusion, significantly expanding the addressable market for EVs.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>3. The True Cost: Rates, Down Payments, and Fees</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Interest Rates: For prime borrowers with high credit scores, banks often offer lower headline interest rates, starting in the 8.15% to 9.20% p.a. range. Fintechs catering to higher-risk segments, like Revfin, may have rates up to 29% (annualised, reducing) to compensate for the risk, while specialised players like Turno offer competitive fixed rates around 10.5%.
</li>
<li>
Down Payment: This is a key differentiator. Fintechs excel at lowering the entry barrier. Turno, for example, enables customers to acquire a commercial EV with a down payment as low as ₹49,999, a fraction of what many traditional lenders might require.

</div>
</div>
</div>

&nbsp;
</li>
<li>
The Verdict: While banks may offer lower rates to ideal candidates, fintechs provide greater accessibility through lower upfront costs.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>4. The "X-Factor": Beyond the Loan Amount</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Traditional Banks: Typically offer a standalone financial product. The relationship often concludes once the loan is disbursed.
</li>
<li>
Fintech Lenders&nbsp;Are increasingly building an integrated ownership ecosystem. Turno&nbsp;offers a Vehicle Lifecycle Management app and its revolutionary&nbsp;guaranteed buy-back program, which mitigates the risk associated with&nbsp;the asset's future value. Revfin's mission extends to empowering entrepreneurs, viewing the loan as a tool for sustainable economic growth.

Choose a traditional bank if you are a salaried individual with a strong credit history, can afford a higher down payment, and are willing to wait to secure the absolute lowest interest rate.
Choose a specialised fintech lender if you are a commercial operator for whom speed is critical, if you have a non-traditional credit profile, or if you value an integrated solution that de-risks the entire lifecycle of your EV asset.

<h2 dir="ltr">The electric vehicle revolution is in full swing, and the second-hand EV market in India is heating up. For savvy buyers, this means a golden opportunity to own a feature-packed electric vehicle without the brand-new price tag. But here&rsquo;s the reality: buying a used EV is nothing like buying a used petrol or diesel vehicle, and understanding the resale value is key.</h2>
Whether you're eyeing an electric scooter for your city commute or an electric car for your family, this guide is broken down into two parts to give you the precise checklist you need.
<h2 dir="ltr">Why a second hand EV is a Smarter Choice Than You Think.</h2>
Still on the fence? Opting for a used electric vehicle is a strategic move, regardless of whether it has two wheels or four. Beyond the significant savings on the upfront price, you get a vehicle with incredibly low running costs and minimal maintenance costs. It's the best way to access high-end technology and premium features in affordable EVs.
<h3> The Ultimate Guide to Used Electric 2-Wheelers (Scooters &amp; Motorcycles)</h3>
The market for used electric scooters is booming. Here&rsquo;s how to navigate it and find a reliable ride, whether it's a popular performance model or a sturdy commuter e-scooter.
<h4 dir="ltr">The Buyer's Bible: A Deep-Dive Inspection for Electric Scooters</h4>
1. Battery Health: The Heart of Your E-Scooter
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Demand the State of Health (SoH) Report: The State of Health is crucial. For scooters with connected apps, it is often visible right in the app. For others, ask the seller to get a report from an authorized service center.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Check for Removable Batteries: If the model has a removable battery, take it out. Inspect the battery casing for cracks or damage and check the connector points for any burn marks.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Real-World Range Test: A fully charged dashboard might show an impressive range, but will it deliver? Test ride the scooter in the mode you'd use most and see how quickly the range drops.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Charging History: Ask if the scooter was charged overnight regularly (good) or frequently run down to zero (bad for battery life).
</li>
</ul>
2. Warranty &amp; Software: The Digital Lifeline
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Confirm Warranty Status: Most electric scooters come with a manufacturer's warranty on the battery. Confirm the remaining duration and the official process to transfer it to your name.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Check App &amp; Software Access: Ensure the previous owner has unlinked their account from the scooter's app. This is vital to get access to navigation, ride stats, and critical Over-the-Air (OTA) updates.
</li>
</ul>
3. Mechanical &amp; Physical Checks
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Motor &amp; Belt Drive: Listen for any unusual grinding or whining noise from the hub motor or belt drive during your test ride.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Suspension &amp; Frame: Check the suspension for responsiveness and inspect the frame for any signs of accident damage or cracks.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Charging Accessories: Ensure the original portable charger is included and is in good working condition.
</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr">The Seller's Playbook: How to Get the Best Price for Your E-Scooter</h3>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Lead with a Battery Report: Take a screenshot of the State of Health (SoH) from your app or get a printout. This builds immense trust.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Highlight Tech Features: In your listing, emphasize features like the touchscreen dashboard, Bluetooth connectivity, multiple ride modes, and regenerative braking.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Reset Your Account: Before selling, log out of your app and perform a factory reset on the scooter's dashboard to protect your personal data.
</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr">FAQ: Used Electric 2-Wheelers</h3>
1. What's the first thing I should check on a second-hand electric scooter during a test ride? Focus on the ride feel. Pay attention to how smoothly the power is delivered. Check for any vibrations, listen for unusual noises from the motor, and see how the brakes and suspension feel on an uneven road.
2. Are the smart features like navigation on a used e-scooter reliable? Generally, yes, but it's important to test them. During your inspection, try pairing your phone via Bluetooth and inputting a destination into the navigation to ensure the software is not lagging or buggy.
3. How do I know if the previous owner took good care of the scooter's battery? Ask about their daily charging routine. An owner who charged the scooter overnight with the standard charger and avoided constantly draining the battery to 0% has likely maintained the battery well.
4. Is it better to buy a used electric scooter from an owner or a dealership? Buying from an owner might get you a better price, but buying from a certified pre-owned dealership offers more security, including vehicle inspection and a potential limited warranty. Your choice depends on your budget and risk appetite.
5. What documents are most important when buying a second-hand e-scooter? Ensure you get the original Registration Certificate (RC), valid insurance papers, the original invoice, and the PUC certificate. A complete service history booklet is also a very valuable document to have.
<h3> The Ultimate Guide to Used Electric 4-Wheelers (Cars)</h3>
Buying a second-hand electric car, such as a popular electric SUV or a compact electric sedan, can be a fantastic deal. Here&rsquo;s your specific checklist.
<h4 dir="ltr">The Buyer's Bible: Your Ultimate Used Electric Car Inspection Checklist</h4>
1. Battery Health: The Heart of Your Electric Car
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Demand the Official State of Health (SoH) Report: This is non-negotiable for a car. An authorized service center can provide a detailed printout of the battery's State of Health (SoH).
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Investigate Charging History: Ask the owner about their DC fast charging frequency. A car that has been primarily slow-charged at home will likely have a healthier battery.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Real-World Range Test: During an extended test drive, see if the car can deliver close to its estimated range. Note how AC usage impacts the range.
</li>
</ul>
2. Warranty &amp; Software: The Digital Lifeline
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Verify the Long-Term Battery Warranty: Electric cars come with a separate, long-term warranty on the high-voltage battery system. It's crucial to contact a dealership with the car's VIN to confirm the remaining duration and the official ownership transfer process.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Confirm Software &amp; App Functionality: Ensure all connected car features are working and that the previous owner will delink their accounts, allowing you to pair your own.
</li>
</ul>
3. Mechanical &amp; Physical Checks
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Suspension &amp; Tires: Electric cars are heavy. Listen carefully for any suspension creaks over bumps and check for uneven tire wear, which could signal alignment issues.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Brakes: Due to regenerative braking, physical brakes are used less. Check the brake discs for rust or signs of seizing from inactivity.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Undercarriage: Inspect the bottom of the car for any scrapes or dents on the battery casing. Damage here can be a major red flag.
</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr">The Seller's Playbook: How to Get the Best EV Car Resale Value</h3>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Lead with a Professional State of Health (SoH) Report: Providing an official service center report is the best way to justify your asking price and build trust.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Highlight a Clean Service Record: A full service history from an authorized dealer shows you've taken care of the car and installed all necessary software patches.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Emphasize Low Running Costs: Remind potential buyers of the huge savings on fuel and maintenance compared to a petrol or diesel car.
</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr">FAQ: Used Electric 4-Wheelers</h3>
1. How different is the test drive experience of an electric car compared to a petrol one? It's very different. You'll notice instant, silent acceleration with no gear shifts. Pay attention to the level of regenerative braking (how much the car slows down when you lift off the accelerator) and listen for any subtle electronic hums or suspension noises.
2. Is the EV battery warranty transferable to a second owner in India? Yes, for most major brands like Tata Motors, MG, and Hyundai, the battery warranty is tied to the vehicle and is transferable. You must, however, complete the official ownership transfer process with the brand.
3. What are common problems to look for in a used electric car? Beyond the battery, look for issues with the air conditioning system, which can be complex in an EV. Check all electronic components like power windows and door handles. Some first-generation models can have issues with onboard chargers or PTC heaters, so it's wise to check model-specific forums for known issues before an inspection. Also, as with any car, listen for suspension noises and check for uneven tire wear.
4. Can I get a loan for a second-hand electric car in India? Yes, many banks and financial institutions now offer loans for used electric cars. Having all your documentation in order, including the RC, insurance, and a clean service history, will help in getting your loan approved smoothly.
5. Does the range of a used electric car get affected by weather? Yes, absolutely. EV batteries perform best in moderate temperatures. In extreme heat or cold, you can expect a temporary drop in the total range. The car's battery management system will use energy to either cool or warm the battery, and using the car's AC or heater will also consume more power.
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion: Your Smart Decision Awaits</h2>
Whether it's a nimble electric scooter or a comfortable electric car, the used EV market offers incredible value. This new frontier demands a new level of diligence. By using the right checklist for your chosen vehicle and focusing on battery health, warranty, and software history, you can confidently navigate the market and find a reliable second-hand EV that serves you well for years to come.

Used EV Buying Guide India (2025): Cars & Electric Scooters

Top 3 Expert Tips Before Buying & Selling a Used EV (2025 Edition)

Mihir Pathak

<h3>Introduction</h3>
The Indian government has been a crucial catalyst in the nation's EV adoption journey. However, the nature of its support is evolving. While direct consumer tax breaks were a key feature of the initial push, the focus is now shifting towards strengthening the domestic manufacturing and infrastructure ecosystem. This guide clarifies what incentives were available, what has changed, and what benefits buyers can still leverage in 2025 and beyond.
<h2>The Big One That's Gone: A Final Verdict on Section 80EEB</h2>
A significant amount of outdated information regarding this tax benefit persists online. This guide provides definitive clarity.
<ul>
<li>
What Section 80EEB Was: Introduced in the 2019 Union Budget, Section 80EEB of the Income Tax Act allowed individual taxpayers to claim a deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakh on the interest paid on a loan taken to purchase an electric vehicle. This applied to both two-wheelers and four-wheelers and was available only to individuals, not to companies, HUFs, or other entities.

</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
The Critical Expiry Date: The most crucial detail is that this deduction was time-bound. It was only applicable for loans sanctioned between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2023. Any EV loan sanctioned after this date is not eligible for the Section 80EEB deduction.

<h2>What Incentives Remain in 2025?</h2>
With the sunset of Section 80EEB, the government's support has become more industry- and infrastructure-focused. Key ongoing initiatives include:
<ul>
<li>
The FAME Scheme: The Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, particularly FAME-II with its ₹11,500 crore outlay, has been pivotal in providing demand incentives and funding the establishment of public charging infrastructure. This is being built upon by new initiatives like the PM E-DRIVE scheme, which targets the rollout of over 300,000 commercial electric three-wheelers.

</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme: This is the cornerstone of the government's strategy to build a resilient domestic EV supply chain. It provides financial incentives to companies for manufacturing advanced chemistry cell (ACC) batteries and EVs within India, aiming to reduce the country's dependence on imports.

</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
GST and State-Level Benefits: A significant and ongoing benefit for consumers is the reduced Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate of 5% on the purchase of EVs, compared to the 28% or higher rates for many ICE vehicles. Additionally, many state governments offer their own subsidies, including waivers on road tax and registration fees, which can substantially lower the on-road cost of an EV.

<h2>Conclusion</h2>
The Indian government's EV policy has strategically evolved. The initial phase of stimulating demand through direct consumer tax deductions like Section 80EEB has concluded for new buyers. The focus has shifted to building a self-sufficient domestic manufacturing base and a widespread charging infrastructure. For consumers in 2025, the primary financial benefits now arise not from a specific tax deduction but from a fiercely competitive and increasingly specialised lending market that is vying for their business. While the 80EEB benefit has ended, the financing landscape is more competitive than ever.&nbsp;For a complete overview of all current financing options, read our <a title="Ultimate Guide to EV Loans in India." href="../blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-ev-financing-in-india-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ultimate Guide to EV Loans in India.</a>

The Ultimate Guide to EV Financing in India (2025)

Have you noticed the growing number of electric vehicles in India? It's not just a trend; it's a sign of a massive national shift driven by a comprehensive Indian EV policy. From the&nbsp;<a href="../electric-vehicle-companies/tata-motors-ev">Tata</a> Nexon EV on city roads to <a href="../electric-vehicle-companies/ola-electric-ev">Ola's electric scooters</a>, EVs are finally entering the mainstream. But this isn't just happening on its own. The Indian government is the biggest force behind the future of electric mobility in India.
Ever wondered why? It's a calculated move to secure India's future from a geopolitical, economic, and environmental standpoint. In this detailed blog post, we'll break down the government's strategy, revealing the deep moves happening behind the scenes, and explain what this electric revolution means for the total cost of ownership for you.
<hr>
<h2 dir="ltr">India's EV Strategy 2025: 'Make in India' and Energy Security</h2>
The government's EV policy is a masterclass in long-term strategic planning for national energy security and self-reliance.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf78iYgmVxX2hSwKzV_Slp35_DV4cRWXFsIpOox_1hWm7SPnc9fO3wtBbnrase7J5bhbOycNsMDOOJ_yqdzqW1wx9E2VZd8xMuRIMmK2ybdXsM5LHmn1lFBvkn7kLlUzxXqXg8-?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428">
&nbsp;
<h3>First, reducing the multi-billion-dollar oil Import Bill:</h3>
India's reliance on imported crude oil makes our economy vulnerable. Every EV on the road strengthens our energy independence. This switch to domestically produced electricity is a core part of achieving a stable economic future. 
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">Next, Building a Self-Reliant 'Make in India' EV Ecosystem:</h3>
This is the real story. To become a global leader, we must control the entire EV supply chain, starting with the battery. 
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">The Global Hunt for Lithium and Critical Minerals:</h3>
Most people don't know that India is on a global mission for resources. State-owned company KABIL (<a href="http://kabilindia.in/">Khanij Bidesh India Ltd.</a>) is acquiring strategic minerals like lithium and cobalt from partners in South America and Australia, securing the raw materials for EV batteries.
 <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc1uefhRSjHAbbyXb-gkkaNXXfW8o4KWwu1bDym6ekqU0ObZ0tqvDg_G5bxXOs4aXTP5Ic8q4rgZPAUz07xIIervTV60usOjy8vvdVpbt2n99MP5vCEiCvBuBA3dNibsMrOLDJ6hA?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428">
&nbsp;
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">Securing Resources at Home with Local Lithium Reserves:</h3>
The recent discoveries of lithium reserves in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammu_and_Kashmir_lithium_reserves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jammu &amp; Kashmir</a> and <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/renewables/lithium-reserves-traced-in-rajasthans-nagaur-capacity-higher-than-jk-reserves/articleshow/100068695.cms?from=mdr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rajasthan</a> are a monumental step towards long-term self-sufficiency, even if extraction takes time. This is crucial for the domestic battery manufacturing landscape.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdUG8lnI-HPCSujQnTZUpOW-RsHFDXl58Cd5sm-zYOjVUFeziww4RD4ICCQFsyqcyKwjhcQ0x5FIan8mrt2llH_f4O2ci6q0JkekDdN6FgAbp3xAeRQ61M382KxecZbY_yGDdefzw?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428">
&nbsp;
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">Powering Local Manufacturing with the <a href="https://heavyindustries.gov.in/pli-scheme-national-programme-advanced-chemistry-cell-acc-battery-storage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLI Scheme for Batteries</a>:</h3>
How does the government ensure these materials are used here? Through the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Batteries. This clever policy offers cash incentives based on the domestic sales of locally manufactured batteries, forcing companies to build a world-class ecosystem right here to compete on the EV price in India.
<h2 dir="ltr">The Geopolitical Race: India vs China in the EV Market</h2>
India's push for EVs is also a direct response to China's decade-long head start. China dominates the global EV market and controls the EV battery supply chain, creating a strategic vulnerability. India&rsquo;s counter-strategy to bridge this gap is multi-pronged:
<h3>De-risking the Supply Chain with a "China Plus One" Strategy:</h3>
India is positioning itself as the world's alternative. The new National Policy on Electric Vehicles reduces import tariffs for global players like Tesla who commit to local production, integrating India into the global supply chain. <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdYIk_Vfn3gFcE26lw4i1QRkDLukoHZ0Ozf-ALzJVdTJKeWrcHqsFcrKVUlszTqXHtAhB6BKtxTxTV3DUHTtGyCo5L32o52P84XBrsxHc2hjI8cMDO1MiwmFoT0-OhVRv9N6Tbg?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428">
<ul>
<li>Building Alliances for Critical Minerals: The India-Australia Critical Minerals Investment Partnership and the U.S.-led Mineral Security Partnership (MSP) give India preferential access to lithium and cobalt, directly bypassing Chinese-controlled sources and ensuring a stable EV parts supply. </li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Mandating Domestic Value Addition (DVA): The PLI scheme for automotive sector has strict DVA requirements. This forces companies to increase local sourcing of EV components, phasing out reliance on imports and building a robust domestic supplier base.
</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2 dir="ltr">The Green Imperative: Improving Air Quality and a Sustainable Future</h2>
&nbsp;The environmental benefits are a critical necessity for India's health.
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation">Tackling Urban Air Pollution:</h3>
With cities facing critical Air Quality Index (AQI) levels, zero-tailpipe emission EVs are essential. A shift to electric mobility directly leads to cleaner air and a reduction in respiratory illnesses.
<h3 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf1_x3DxFoWGN9beSiP6K62QlzsJ-bMuse1hunKXC6_63VBlgnVCiNqOB6r_hVswbmwDnUkAhyENwM13mtt3InQd4ufLzdNGnHiOLfotH3wrljKgefpV5BhwRRrL2f8alJdeVpTBA?key=DCWv455UwBTw6fHZV7a3Rg" width="642" height="428"></h3>
<h3>Meeting Climate Change Goals and Reducing Carbon Footprint:</h3>
Promoting EVs is key to meeting India's Paris Agreement commitments. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels helps lower India's carbon footprint significantly.
<hr>
<h2 dir="ltr">What's In It For You? EV Subsidies, Lower Running Costs, and Tax Breaks in 2025</h2>
This national strategy translates into real benefits that lower the on-road price of electric vehicles for you.
<h3 dir="ltr">A. Huge Savings on Your Purchase with Government Subsidies:</h3>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<h4 dir="ltr" role="presentation">FAME II Subsidy (and FAME III expectations):</h4>
</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<h4 dir="ltr" role="presentation">State-Level EV Subsidies:</h4>
</li>
</ul>
Many states, including Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Delhi, offer their own additional subsidies, road tax waivers, and registration fee exemptions, which further reduce the final purchase price.
<h3 dir="ltr">B. Drastically Lower Running &amp; Maintenance Costs:</h3>
A comparison of the total cost of ownership clearly shows the financial advantage of owning an EV in India.

Tata Harrier EV Launch 2025 – Price, Range, Features & All You Need to Know

Discover why Tata Harrier EV's powerful AWD, exceptional range, and cutting-edge tech make it India's hottest electric SUV in 2025.

All You Need to Know About Tata Harrier EV: Launch, Price, Features, Range & More

The Indian electric scooter market is buzzing, and two prominent names leading the charge are the Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3) and the TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh. Both scooters promise an exhilarating electric ride but cater to different rider preferences. Ola is known for its high performance and cutting-edge technology, while TVS offers a blend of practicality, established reliability, and a distinctly premium feel. With identical large battery sizes, the real competition lies in how each brand delivers an exceptional electric experience.
<h2 dir="ltr">A Tale of Two Titans: Brand Philosophies</h2>
Ola Electric, a relatively new player since 2017, has aggressively pushed the envelope of innovation. Their Gen 3 scooters, for instance, feature a chain drive motor and an advanced brake-by-wire system. Ola's ambition is to transform the EV market with high-performance, feature-rich scooters produced in their expansive "Futurefactory."
On the other hand, TVS Motor Company, an automotive giant with over a century of experience, brings a legacy of trust, a vast dealer network, and a notable premium feel to its electric vehicles. Their approach is one of steady evolution, concentrating on dependable technology and ensuring a consistently refined customer experience.
<h3 dir="ltr">The Evolution of Flagships: A Quick Look</h3>
Ola S1 Pro: The Journey So Far
The Ola S1 Pro has seen rapid development:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Gen 1 S1 Pro: Introduced on August 15, 2021.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Gen 2 S1 Pro: Launched in 2023.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Gen 3 (S1 Pro &amp; S1 Pro+ variants): Debuted on January 31, 2025. The <a href="../product/ola-s1-pro-plus-gen3-5kwh">Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3)</a> currently stands as their top-tier offering.
</li>
</ul>
TVS iQube: Steady Advancement
The TVS iQube has progressed systematically:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube (Initial Launch): First appeared in January 2020.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Refreshed iQube lineup (Standard, S, ST with a ~5.1kWh battery option for ST): Updated in May 2022.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
2025 Model Year Update (iQube S and ST variants, ST 5.3kWh introduced): Unveiled on May 15/16, 2025. The <a href="../product/tvs-iqube-st-ev">TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh</a> is now their leading model.
</li>
</ul>
The May 2025 update saw the TVS iQube ST receive an upgraded 5.3kWh battery (from the previous 5.1kWh). This enhancement boosts its travel distance on a single charge and includes design refinements that elevate its premium appeal.
<h3 dir="ltr">Delivery Timelines: Patience vs. Promptness</h3>
If you're considering the Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3), Ola now states that delivery for this model will begin from October 3rd, 2025.
However, judging by past reports, records and experiences, it's possible that actual deliveries might align with the Diwali festival season or extend into November.
In contrast, acquiring a TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh is generally a quicker process. Thanks to TVS's well-established network, customers often receive their scooters in just 4 to 5 days, depending on local dealership inventory and current demand.
<h3 dir="ltr">Head-to-Head: Feature Deep Dive</h3>
Let's examine how these electric contenders compare across key aspects:
Range
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Ola states an IDC range of 320 km for this scooter. In normal riding conditions, its true range is 150+ km.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: TVS states an IDC range of 212 km for this scooter. In normal riding conditions, its true range is 150+ km.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: Both models are capable of delivering a true range of 150+ km in normal mode, making them excellent for daily commutes and even some longer journeys. If the highest possible official range figure is your priority, Ola's IDC range is higher. However, for practical day-to-day use, both perform admirably.
Ex-Showroom Price
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Approximately ₹1,99,999.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Approximately ₹1,59,569.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: If budget is a primary consideration, the TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh offers a more accessible price for a premium electric scooter. If the Ola S1 Pro+'s superior speed and higher official range justify the additional investment for your needs, it remains a compelling option.
Top Speed
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): An impressive 141 km/h.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: A practical 82 km/h, well-suited for city environments.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: If you prioritize sheer speed and an exhilarating ride, the Ola S1 Pro + is unparalleled. For city commuting and occasional highway trips, the TVS iQube ST's top speed is more than sufficient and often a safer choice. If blistering speed isn't your main requirement, the iQube ST is a sensible selection.
Battery Type
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Lithium-ion battery.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Lithium-ion battery.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: Both scooters use the same battery technology and capacity. Your preference might come down to an interest in Ola's specific cell technology versus the assurance that comes with TVS's established manufacturing expertise.
Motor Type &amp; Peak Power
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Chain Drive Motor
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: BLDC Hub Motor
</li>
</ul>
Chain Drive Motor:
A chain drive motor is typically located in the scooter's center. It transfers power to the rear wheel using a chain and sprockets, much like a motorcycle. Its advantages include the potential for excellent torque, which means strong pulling power for quick acceleration and climbing hills. It can also contribute to better handling because the motor's weight is more centrally located, improving the scooter's balance. However, chain drives do require regular lubrication to keep them running smoothly.
Hub Motor:
A hub motor is integrated directly into the wheel hub itself. Its advantages often include quieter and smoother operation because there are fewer external moving parts. It can also mean potentially lower maintenance.
Figure Out Your Fit:
If your riding involves a lot of hills, or if you really enjoy quick, powerful acceleration from a stop, a Chain Drive Motor like the one in the Ola S1 Pro+ might be your preference; it's built for performance and can handle demanding conditions more effectively.
On the other hand, if your main use is city commuting on relatively flat roads and you value a super quiet, smooth ride with potentially less upkeep, a Hub Motor as found in the TVS iQube ST could be more suitable. It&rsquo;s designed for efficient and hassle-free urban travel where outright power is less critical than smoothness and low maintenance.
Charging Time
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Takes approximately 8 hours and 40 minutes for a full 0-100% charge.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Charges from 0-80% in about 4 hours and 18 minutes. A complete 0-100% charge would likely take around 5.5 to 6.5 hours.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: If quick top-ups to get a substantial amount of range are crucial for your daily routine, the TVS iQube ST's faster 0-80% charging is a distinct advantage. If you primarily charge your scooter overnight and the longer duration isn't a concern, the Ola S1 Pro + is also manageable.
Brakes
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Equipped with disc brakes on both front and rear wheels. It also includes Dual Channel ABS (a safety system that helps prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking) and a Brake-by-wire system (an advanced electronic braking technology).
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Features a disc brake on the front wheel and a drum brake on the rear.
</li>
</ul>
In typical city driving, with frequent traffic, congestion, and speed breakers, speeds are often limited to 50-60 km/h. In such conditions, the necessity for disc brakes on both wheels is reduced, as standard braking systems perform adequately. However, if you specifically prefer the added assurance or performance of dual disc brakes, the Ola S1 Pro+ stands out in this regard.
Figure Out Your Fit: If having the most advanced braking system with the enhanced safety of Dual Channel ABS is a top priority, the Ola S1 Pro + is the superior choice. If a standard disc and drum combination is sufficient for your riding style and conditions, the TVS iQube ST's system is perfectly adequate for its performance level.
Advanced Features
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Comes with MoveOS 5 on a 7-inch Touchscreen. It includes features like a Smartwatch App, Ola Maps, SOS for emergencies, music and call controls, Cruise Control, Reverse Mode, Proximity Unlock, Hill Hold, and various riding modes. It's worth noting that features such as MoveOS 5 and the Smartwatch App, which might typically be purchased as add-ons, are included free of charge with this top model, offering good value.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Sports a 7-inch TFT Touchscreen with over 118 Connected Features. These include Voice Assist, Alexa Skillset integration, Turn-by-Turn Navigation, Distance to Empty display, Remote Charge Status monitoring, Music &amp; Call alerts, Geofencing, Anti-theft alerts, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), and a USB charging port, all contributing to its premium user experience.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: Both scooters are rich in features. If you're looking for the very latest operating system with a wide array of smart integrations and performance-oriented modes, Ola's MoveOS 5 is quite comprehensive. If you desire a broad suite of practical connected features like Alexa and TPMS from a reputable brand that offers a premium feel, the TVS iQube ST delivers effectively.
Safety Features
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Equipped with Dual Channel ABS, a Brake-by-wire system, Emergency SOS alerts, Side Stand Alert, Side Stand Motor Cutoff, and Multi-mode Traction Control.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: Includes Crash &amp; Fall Alert, Anti-theft alert, Geofencing, Side Stand Indication, and a Parking Brake Lever.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: If top-tier active braking safety, such as Dual Channel ABS, is a non-negotiable feature for you, the Ola S1 Pro + is the clear choice. If your primary safety concerns revolve around features like crash alerts and robust anti-theft systems, the TVS iQube ST offers a solid package.
Display
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): 7-inch Touchscreen.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: 7-inch (17.78 cm) TFT Touchscreen.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: Both scooters offer large, modern touchscreens. Your preference might come down to the user interface &ndash; Ola's MoveOS versus TVS's SmartXonnect. If a highly integrated and feature-rich OS appeals to you, Ola could be more attractive. If you favor an interface developed by a seasoned automotive manufacturer that enhances the scooter's premium feel, TVS might be your pick.
Boot Space
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): 34 Litres.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: 32 Litres (TVS states it can accommodate 2 helmets).
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: Both provide generous storage. If maximizing every litre of volume is crucial, Ola offers a slight edge. If the practical ability to store two helmets is more important, TVS clearly indicates this capability.
Warranty
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): This model comes with an impressive 8-year or 80,000 km warranty. Generally, Ola might offer a standard warranty of 3 years or 50,000 km, with options to purchase extended warranties (for instance, an extension to 8 years might cost around ₹6,999 + GST). The inclusion of the 8-year/80,000 km warranty as standard with this top model is a significant benefit.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: TVS provides a standard warranty of 3 years or 50,000 km, whichever comes first. For customers looking for extended peace of mind, there's an option to purchase an additional warranty for 2 years or 20,000 km. This extended coverage is available for an extra payment of ₹5,999. It's important to note that this extended warranty can only be bought if the scooter is within 6 months (or 180 days) of its original sale date and has covered less than 10,000 km.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: Ola's extended warranty on this specific top model is a very attractive proposition if long-term peace of mind regarding the battery and vehicle is a high priority. TVS offers a solid standard warranty with a reasonably priced extension option, providing flexibility for buyers.
After-Sales Service
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ola S1 Pro + 5.3kWh (Gen 3): Regarding after-sales service for Ola scooters, you might face some issues. Customer feedback has been varied, with some users reporting difficulties in getting timely or effective service. Ola has also transitioned to a model where some services may incur costs. However, there are also reports of improvements in service efficiency at certain centers.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh: In comparison to Ola, TVS's service is generally better than Ola's. Being an established company with numerous service centers, TVS usually offers a more predictable and accessible service experience, which enhances the premium ownership feel. While no service network is perfect, and occasional issues like delays in spare parts availability might occur, TVS typically strives to provide solutions as promptly as possible. You are less likely to face persistent service-related problems with TVS; yes, in some conditions, you might face an issue like the non-availability of spare parts, but still, you will get a solution as soon as possible.
</li>
</ul>
Figure Out Your Fit: If your priority is a consistent and widely available after-sales service from a trusted, long-standing brand that contributes to a premium ownership experience, the TVS iQube ST is often considered more dependable. If you are comfortable with a service model that is still evolving and prioritize the scooter's advanced features over service predictability, Ola remains an option.

In a move poised to significantly boost consumer confidence in electric vehicle ownership, <a href="../electric-vehicle-companies/tata-motors-ev">Tata Motors</a> has introduced a Lifetime High Voltage (HV) Battery Warranty for two of its most popular electric SUVs &mdash; Curvv.ev and <a href="../product/tata-motors-nexon-ev-creative-+-mr">Nexon.ev</a> 45 kWh. This warranty covers the battery for an unlimited number of kilometres, marking one of the most aggressive and customer-friendly policies in the Indian EV market to date.
This warranty follows the debut of the same initiative with the Harrier.ev, and will now benefit both new buyers and existing first-time owners of the Curvv.ev and Nexon.ev 45 kWh models.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 3;">Who Is Eligible?</h3>

</ul>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 3;">₹50,000 Loyalty Bonus for Existing Tata.ev Customers</h3>
To further incentivise upgrades, Tata Motors is also offering a&nbsp;₹50,000 loyalty benefit to existing TATA.ev owners who purchase either the Curvv.ev or Nexon.ev 45 kWh. This strengthens Tata&rsquo;s EV ecosystem while rewarding its early adopters.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 3;">Why This Matters: Addressing the #1 EV Concern &ndash; Battery Health</h3>
The HV battery is often the most expensive component in an electric vehicle. By providing lifetime coverage, Tata Motors eliminates a key barrier to EV adoption: concerns over battery replacement cost and long-term degradation.
&ldquo;By offering this unprecedented assurance, we are enabling a truly carefree, future-ready ownership journey for every TATA.ev buyer,&rdquo; said Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 3;">Real Ownership Benefits: Savings up to ₹9 Lakh Over 10 Years</h3>
Tata estimates that an average EV customer can save around ₹8&ndash;9 lakh over a decade in fuel and maintenance costs. With this new warranty, the long-term ownership experience becomes even more compelling, including:

Bengaluru-based EV startup Oben Electric has crossed a major milestone, recording 2,077 cumulative electric motorcycle sales as of July 9, 2025. The momentum has been especially strong in H1 2025, where the company delivered 1,443 units, largely driven by the popularity of its newer model&mdash;the Oben Rorr EZ.
Oben&rsquo;s strategy to target 100cc to 150cc petrol motorcycle buyers with stylish, performance-driven, and cost-efficient electric motorcycles is gaining traction, especially among urban commuters and young first-time EV adopters.

Launched in November 2024, the <a href="../product/oben-electric-ev-rorr-ez-2.6-kwh">Oben Rorr EZ</a> is proving to be the brand&rsquo;s star performer. With three battery options (2.6kWh, 3.4kWh, 4.4kWh) using high-performance LFP battery tech, the Rorr EZ promises:
<ul type="disc">

</ul>
The bike also features three riding modes&mdash;Eco, City, and Havoc&mdash;giving urban riders full control over performance and efficiency.

In February 2025, Oben launched the &lsquo;Rorr on Campus&rsquo; initiative&mdash;targeting students in 10 major colleges across Delhi and Jaipur, offering hands-on EV experiences. With plans to scale this campaign to other metros, Oben aims to:

</ul>

Mahindra&rsquo;s market share in India&rsquo;s EV passenger vehicle segment has jumped to 17%, up from 8% a year ago. This positions the brand right behind:
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Tata Motors &ndash; 38%</li>

</ul>
If the current pace continues, Mahindra is on track to challenge Tata&rsquo;s EV dominance in 2026. With more affordable trims (like BE Pack Two offering the 79kWh battery), Mahindra is now tapping into the mid-to-premium EV buyer segment previously ruled by Tata Nexon EV Max and MG ZS EV.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 3;">Final Thoughts</h3>

Uttar Pradesh, in a new record, has registered 70,770 electric vehicle registrations in the first quarter of 2025-26, Hindustan Times reported.
&nbsp;
Despite concerns about inadequate infrastructure and policy enforcement, the state registered more than 21,000 electric two- and four-wheelers, resulting in ₹255.50 crore in tax and fee exemptions.
&nbsp;
The state continues to lead the nation in EV adoption, but the transport department's first-quarter performance report also reveals income growth and an increase in digital transactions. However, concerns about enforcement, the sustainability of subsidies, and service delivery gaps still exist.
&nbsp;
According to the HT, the department reports that the quarter's total revenue was ₹2,913.78 crore, a 10.39% rise from the previous year. The ₹14,000 crore annual aim may be attainable given that this represents 85.9% of the quarterly target. Despite significant EV tax breaks and interruptions from the ongoing transfer season, revenue in June alone was ₹830.15 crore, up 4.1% from June 2024.
&nbsp;
Citing transport commissioner VN Singh, HT reported, &ldquo;The sharp rise in EV registrations is no longer driven only by low-end e-rickshaws. In this quarter alone, 5,658 electric cars and 15,434 electric two-wheelers were registered, signalling a growing preference for cleaner vehicles even among mid-segment consumers.&rdquo; According to him, the state of Uttar Pradesh is on track to become the largest EV base in India, with a total of 12.29 lakh EVs registered.
&nbsp;
However, the establishment of infrastructure, particularly charging stations and e-rickshaw regulations, has not kept up with the speed of development.
&nbsp;
The period saw a total of 1.17 lakh new transport vehicles and 9.67 lakh non-transport vehicles registered, representing growth of 16.04% and 12.41%, respectively. The number of e-cart registrations increased by 80.26%. Although economic activity and aspirational mobility are reflected in these figures, they also raise concerns about enforcement, particularly in peri-urban and rural areas where overloading and permission violations are rarely monitored, the report added.
&nbsp;
According to the HT, more than 90% of the money was collected online, with e-challans and summonses accounting for ₹30.45 crore and driving license services for ₹84.50 crore. The agency praises this as evidence of increasing digital trust, but complaints about poor service delivery, a lack of assistance for rural users, and delays in grievance resolution continue.

Despite concerns about inadequate infrastructure and policy enforcement, the state registered more than 21,000 electric two- and four-wheelers, resulting in ₹255.50 crore in tax and fee exemptions.

<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 2;">Tata Altroz EV : Still in Development, Launch Pushed Further</h2>
After its first appearance at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show and a near-production preview at Auto Expo 2020, the Tata Altroz EV remains in Tata Motors&rsquo; EV roadmap. Recently confirmed to be internally codenamed &lsquo;Ascot&rsquo;, this all-electric premium hatchback was initially expected to be the second EV offering after the Nexon EV.
However, multiple delays &mdash; mainly due to battery packaging challenges &mdash; have pushed its timeline further. Ground clearance constraints caused by the underfloor battery setup led to a drop from 165mm to 145mm, compromising its hatchback stance.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 2;">What&rsquo;s Causing the Delay?</h3>
The Acti.EV architecture, which underpins both the Altroz EV and Punch EV, initially posed a challenge for Altroz due to:
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Limited space for battery under the flat floor.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Reduced ground clearance that affected ride height and aesthetics.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Tata refusing to raise the body height to maintain the signature Altroz silhouette.</li>
</ul>
Tata Motors has now shifted focus to revising the Punch EV platform to better accommodate a larger battery pack, which could potentially solve the Altroz EV's packaging issues as well.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 2;">Shared Architecture with Tata Punch EV</h3>
The Tata Altroz EV and updated Punch EV will both use the brand&rsquo;s modular Acti.EV platform. Here&rsquo;s what to expect:

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 2;">What&rsquo;s Next: Tata&rsquo;s Larger EV Game Plan</h3>
Besides the Altroz EV, Tata Motors is actively working on the next-gen Harrier EV (Taurus) and Safari EV (Leo) &mdash; both based on an all-new, flexible platform that can support:
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">EV + ICE powertrains</li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Increased overall size and cabin space</li>

This will allow Tata to compete more aggressively with Mahindra&rsquo;s INGLO platform and upcoming BE-series SUVs.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 2;">Analyst Insight: Cannibalisation Not a Concern</h3>
Although the Altroz EV and Punch EV may overlap in pricing, they&rsquo;re targeted at different audience segments. Altroz caters to urban premium hatchback buyers, while Punch targets crossover enthusiasts. Tata Motors is strategically differentiating the two to avoid internal competition and expand its total addressable market.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-outline-level: 2;">Final Word</h3>
The Tata Altroz EV &nbsp;remains very much alive in <a href="../electric-vehicle-companies/tata-motors-ev">Tata&rsquo;s EV</a> roadmap. Despite delays, its debut &mdash; now expected post the updated Punch EV facelift in late 2025 &mdash; will strengthen Tata&rsquo;s position in the electric hatchback segment.

Tata Altroz EV Still in the Works: Launch Delayed, Platform Shared with Punch EV

After receiving an overwhelming 10,000 bookings on the first day of its launch, Tata Motors has decided to start the manufacturing of the Harrier.ev e-SUV at its manufacturing facility in Pune.&nbsp; The company has announced that the deliveries of the Harier.ev, priced between ₹21.49 lakh and ₹30.23 lakh, are scheduled to begin in July 2025.
&nbsp;
The company updated the audience on (formerly Twitter), stating,&nbsp; "It's no longer just coming soon. It's being made. Production of India's most powerful homegrown SUV has begun. Harrier.ev is now in motion to Delete &mdash; Impossible."
 
The <a href="http://harrier.ev">Harrier.ev</a> comes in five variants in two drive configurations, including Quad Wheel Drive (QWD) and Rear Wheel Drive (RWD). Users can opt for the ride among four colour options: Pristine White, Nainital Nocturne, Pure Grey and Empowered Oxide. The lineup also includes a unique STEALTH Edition with a matte black exterior and black interior.
 
Featuring a dual-motor QWD setup, the e-SUV is built on Tata's acti.ev+ architecture. With 158 PS (116 kW) up front and 238 PS (175 kW) at the rear, the top-end Quad Wheel Drive model generates 313 horsepower and 504 Nm of torque. In addition, Tata claims that the SUV is the fastest in its class, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in under 6.3 seconds.
 
Available in two variants, the Harrier.ev offers a 65kWh model with a 538 km range and a 75kWh version that delivers an MIDC-certified range of 627 km. Meanwhile, the C75 variant offers an estimated range between 480 km and 505 km.
 
The Harrier.ev supports fast charging with 120 kW DC fast charging capability, which adds 250 km of range in just 15 minutes. For home charging, the 7.2 kW AC charger enables a full charge in approximately 10.7 hours. Tata Motors is offering a lifetime warranty on the battery pack for the first private individual owner.
&nbsp;
With its 120 kW DC fast charging capacity, the Harrier.ev can get charged in 15 minutes to travel 250 km. The 7.2 kW AC charger allows for a full charge in roughly 10.7 hours when charging at home. For the first private owner, Tata Motors is providing a lifetime warranty on the battery pack.
&nbsp;
The SUV gets a 36.9 cm (14.53-inch) infotainment screen made by Harman using the Neo QLED technology of Samsung. The e-SUV is said to have the first Neo QLED display ever made for use in a car. Moreover, the audio system of the car includes Dolby Atmos compatibility, ten JBL speakers, and JBL audio modes.
 Additional features include a 10.25-inch digital cockpit, Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems, seven airbags, and a 540-degree camera system that provides visibility around and beneath the vehicle. The Harrier.ev also boasts a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating.
&nbsp;
The vehicle has a 540-degree surround view system, six terrain modes, and Quad Wheel Drive for off-road capability. An Ultra Glide Suspension system with Frequency Dependent Damping improves ride comfort.
&nbsp;
In addition, the vehicle also has convenience features like Digi Access digital key, e-Valet Auto Park Assist, and DrivePay functionality.
&nbsp;
The Harrier.ev will go up against well-known vehicles like the XUV 9e from Mahindra, the ZS EV from MG, and the Atto 3 from BYD as Tata Motors looks to increase its market share in India's quickly expanding electric vehicle sector.

The Harrier.ev offers a 65kWh model with a 538 km range and a 75kWh version that delivers an MIDC-certified range of 627 km. Meanwhile, the C75 variant offers an estimated range between 480 km

The metal arm of the Aditya Birla Group, Hindalco Industries, has delivered 10,000 aluminium battery enclosures to Mahindra for its next generation of electric SUVs, the BE 6 and XEV 9e. The announcement was made in conjunction with the opening of Hindalco's new EV component production facility in Pune's Chakan, a major automotive centre.
&nbsp;
With an expenditure of ₹500 crore, the plant marks Hindalco's foray into the production of EV parts. The five-acre facility, which produces aluminium battery enclosures that are lightweight and crash-resistant, can produce 80,000 units a year, with plans to expand that number to 160,000. There are currently more than 3,000 Mahindra EVs on Indian roads that have these battery cages installed.
&nbsp;
Citing Satish Pai, Managing Director of Hindalco Industries, the Machine Maker reported, &ldquo;This Chakan plant marks a shift towards localised, high-performance aluminium solutions for the EV sector. Our partnership with Mahindra reflects our shared vision for cleaner mobility and reinforces India&rsquo;s transition to electric vehicles.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
The co-developed battery enclosures are up to 40% lighter than traditional steel-based alternatives since they are constructed of low-carbon aluminium. Better crash resistance, enhanced thermal management for battery systems, and an 8&ndash;10% increase in driving range are all results of this reduction.
&nbsp;
In addition to its technological innovation, the new Chakan plant promotes the "Make in India" movement, which aims to create up to 1,000 jobs and lessen dependency on imports. The facility's almost entirely female machine operator crew is a noteworthy feature, which is a rare yet forward-thinking development in the manufacturing industry.
&nbsp;
In the future, Hindalco intends to provide other domestic and international automakers with comparable aluminium-based components. In addition to battery enclosures, the company's future product line will comprise structural and safety-critical components for both conventional and electric vehicles.
&nbsp;
The expansion of giga-factories and domestic cell production in India is expected to increase demand for battery-grade aluminium as the country's electric vehicle ecosystem grows. A forward-thinking strategy to address the changing demands of the mobility industry is demonstrated by Hindalco's investment in this area.
&nbsp;

With an expenditure of ₹500 crore, the plant marks Hindalco's foray into the production of EV parts.

In response to safety concerns arising due to the recent damage caused by a vehicle that caught fire in an underground parking lot, South Korea intends to require electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers to reveal the brand of batteries used in their vehicles, according to a newspaper on Thursday. The transport ministry planned to change the legislation so automakers would have to disclose battery suppliers, according to a story by the Chosun Ilbo that quoted an unidentified ministry official. As per the report automakers in South Korea are presently required to reveal certain characteristics about their cars, such as their size and fuel economy, but they may only reveal restricted information about batteries, like their power capacity, without mentioning the manufacturers. Currently, the Ministry of Transportation of South Korea has declined to respond to the report. According to the reports, a Mercedes-Benz electric automobile that was equipped with batteries manufactured by Farasis Energy, a Chinese business, caught fire last week in the basement garage of an apartment building in Incheon, South Korea.&nbsp; According to Yonhap news agency, the fire took over eight hours to put out, destroyed over 140 automobiles, and sent 23 individuals to the hospital after they inhaled smoke. In a statement, Mercedes-Benz Korea stated that it was taking the situation very seriously and that it intended to work with the authorities to identify the reason. In a study released in February, the Seoul Metropolitan Fire &amp; Disaster Headquarters stated that between 2013 and 2022, 1,399 fires in South Korean subterranean parking lots occurred, with 43.7% of those incidents being caused by automobiles. It said that 53% of automobile fires in underground garages were caused by electrical sources.

According to research published by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on "Charging Infrastructure for <a href="https://evindia.online/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Electric Vehicle</a>," India may require at least 1.32 million charging stations by 2030 to enable the fast adoption of electric cars (EVs). The research also stated that the national and state governments' ardent support for electric vehicles has improved consumer alternatives and knowledge, resulting in an exponential rise in EV uptake throughout 2022, demonstrating an amazing threefold increase compared to the previous year. Maintaining this trend, it is anticipated that by 2030, there would be 106 million annual sales of EVs in a "business as usual" (BAU) scenario with a 40% annual growth rate. India would need to add more than 4,000 000 charging stations yearly, totalling 1.32 million chargers by the target year, in order to guarantee the desired ratio of 1 charger for every 40 electric cars. The CII report is the second in a series of papers concentrating on the "Roadmap for Future Mobility 2030," and it was created in partnership with Edelman Global Advisory. The possibility for India and the Indian industry is enormous, according to Sondhi. He demanded favourable legislative conditions at the federal and state levels so that Indian startups, MSMEs, and major corporations could quickly roll out charging infrastructure throughout the nation. India will need to install a massive amount of charging infrastructure, which will enable economies of scale that will convert the nation into a worldwide manufacturing powerhouse for charging stations, resulting in the creation of jobs and exports. The research also emphasised the major reliance on imported materials for EV charging stations, notably level 3 DC fast chargers, including electrical and semiconductor components, totalling more than $5,800 million from April to December 2022. To encourage domestic manufacturing and lessen India's reliance on imports, the government may want to offer incentives akin to the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) programme under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, it was suggested. This would give India the chance to establish itself as an international supplier of electric vehicle supply equipment.
