Transportation is flipping the switch!
With market awareness growing about electric vehicles and increased electrification of the grid across India on the back of initiatives from the Government and private players in the market like ChargeZone, the sustainable transportation wave is picking up momentum.
With new players in the market looking to swap their vehicles for an EV alternative, the switch is coming thick and fast. The need to grow and change your mobility solutions has long come but with the mainstream finally accepting this change, the options on the market can suit all the needs that you may have.

However, the choice of vehicle too makes a bit of a difference taking into account your transport patterns.
Here, we explore some options that are on the market and may be the perfect consideration if you're looking to make the switch.

The Citroen eC3 is also an option that one can consider for an improved range. With a 29.2 kWh battery, the eC3 offers 320 km of range on a full charge and starts the range at 11.61 Lakhs.
The MG Comet is another option that users may consider for shorter commutes. Offering a two seater alternative more suited to quick commute, the Comet holds a 17.3 kWh battery giving it a range of about 200 km which seems to be the perfect option for drivers around the city.
The Tata Nexon EV 2023 has recently been launched has gained popularity in the Indian market due to its impressive features and affordability. With the 2023 version starting at 14.74 Lakhs, it boasts a 30 kWh battery allowing a total range of 325 kilometers on a full charge.
