I bought the BYD Seal a few months ago and took it on a memorable trip from Delhi to Jaipur. The 550 km electric range really more than enough to relax my range anxiety. But downside is the absence of a sunroof, which would have been a nice addition in such a premium electric sedan. Overall, the Seal is a fantastic vehicle for eco conscious travelers who mostly stick to well connected urban areas.
I recently bought the Tata Punch EV and I must say it has been good experience. Last weekend, I decided to take it on a trip from Delhi to Jaipur with my family. The journey was smooth and the 30.2 kWh battery offered a range of about 310 km, which was more than adequate for our trip. The car has a enough powerfull 74 bhp motor that makes city driving easy and handles highway speeds smoothly for a compact SUV.
As an electric vehicle enthusiast, I was eager to put this beauty to the test. The 10.5 inch MBUX touchscreen kept us entertained with its interactive interface and crisp graphics. Cruising along, the 402 hp electric motor provided a seamless and whisper quiet ride makes my journey incredibly relaxing.The range left some room for improvement. With a claimed 480 km per charge but I got it down to around 380 km.
We decided to take our Tata Nexon EV on a day trip to Agra to test its range and performance. Equipped with a 30.2 kWh battery pack, it claims a range of 312 km though in real conditions, we experienced around 250 km. The instant torque of 245 Nm makes city drives fun and effortless. The regenerative braking system helped extend the battery life, makes it an eco friendly choice.Finding a fast charger in Agra was more difficult than we anticipated and the regular home charger takes around 8 hours for a full charge.
Byd Seal is one of the most convenient and efficient models in the segment of electric vehicles. With great performance and promising smooth ventures, it is affordable too. The best part is that it is easy to maintain. I have recently switched from my old model ertiga to byd seal and i can totally see the difference on which i would suggest others to give it a test drive and see the magic themselves.
Electric vehicle public charging stations are present in many major cities across India. They can be located through online databases and using charging station smartphone applications. Several EV manufacturers have their own charging station smartphone applications that can help you navigate to these chargers.
According to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, there are 1,742 EV charging stations in India.
Tata Power is currently the largest manufacturer of electric vehicle charging stations in India. It has over 300 stations in current operation.
No, public charging stations usually charge you based on the number of units of electricity consumed, the amount of time the charger is used and the maximum charging speed offered by the charger. These rates differ from state to state and can be more expensive than charging at home in some locations.
The charging cost varies by the output speed of the charger, the amount of time or charge used and the state or city in which the charger is located. For example, in Maharashtra, it may cost up to Rs 240 to juice up an EV such as the Tata Nexon EV Max.
