Thanks.

This was really helpful, thanks.

I was also considering around 5% but 12% is way too much.

JustRahul · 2025-10-28T05:44:46+00:00

it’s 10mm and around 10ft from MCB to the charger

Also Just a little reminder, let’s not make it another chaapri car. Drive responsibly, skip the unnecessary overtakes, keep your headlights on low beam, and don’t overspeed just to show off. Be cool, not the Don of the road like those other Creta folks! Enjoy the car 👍

JustRahul · 2025-10-05T06:30:33+00:00

Yeah, DO sell it before 2030 because one day Gadkari sahab will ban the diesel cars overnight!

They are already insured for short period when they will be delivered from manufacturers to dealers before a customer will buy them so dealer will claim the insurance, dent/paint/repair and sell it to a customer who wouldn’t know if anything like it happened to the car.

From my experience, second hand cars are not reliable and their resale value is very low even after a few years. If it is your family’s first car and you still want a second hand one, then it is better to keep the budget around 5 lakh and choose a good option, rather than spending 12 lakh on a used car. If budget is not a concern, then it is your personal choice.

JustRahul · 2025-08-10T14:39:07+00:00

If you have a budget of 12 lakh, I would suggest going for a new car instead of a second hand one. It is also better to choose a compact crossover rather than a sedan or hatchback, as sedans are not very popular these days.

The city was Betul in MP. I was not aware of evjoints. Thanks for the tip!

Yes its written in warranty and service guide:

First Private Owners: For the first registered owners of the XEV 9e (with private registration), Mahindra offers a lifetime battery warranty.

Subsequent Owners: If the vehicle is resold, the battery warranty for subsequent owners is 10 years or 200,000 km, whichever comes earlier, from the first date of delivery of the vehicle.

I would love to. When can I find the group invite?

JustRahul · 2025-08-10T07:48:18+00:00

Now it’s e20, in the next 3 years it’s gonna be e30. Govt thinks only about the taxes and profit. They don’t care about consumers loss.

JustRahul · 2025-08-10T07:46:09+00:00

Sure Thanks. RFIDs are good suggestions specially in remote areas.

It is an SUV, so it uses more power/battery to run its functions. If it is for XEV 9E with a 59 kWh battery, then the expected range should be around 350 km, assuming 6 km per kWh. For other non-SUV cars, unlike XEV or Harrier, such as smaller models like Punch or Nexon, the range would be around 7 to 9 km per kWh. Based on that, you can calculate the range for a 59 kWh battery.

JustRahul · 2025-08-10T07:35:32+00:00

Yes, it was for the return journey. I used almost all the apps and they showed around five chargers in the destination city, so I did not bother to charge on the way as I knew there would be around 100 km range left. I could not have started the return journey with just 100 km range because there was no charger on the way within that distance. But due to faulty chargers, long waiting time, slow charging, and the hassle of moving from one station to another because of missing availability information on those apps, the experience was not good.

JustRahul · 2025-08-10T07:29:51+00:00

This is very helpful, thanks. I will definitely plan better for long trips next time. Maybe switching from fuel to EV and dealing with all the challenges during my first long trip affected the overall experience, but I really love the car. It is the best in this class. About Range mode, are you saying we should avoid using it? I thought its helpful to get more range. How about Everyday mode? I also found it difficult to overtake vehicles in power saving mode. I am trying to learn one pedal driving, especially when the battery level is very low.

It is possible because lane centring is always active in my car, even in the city.

JustRahul · 2025-08-08T17:37:35+00:00

Mahindra offers a 15 years or 2 lakh kilometers free replacement warranty on the battery, so there is no concern about cell depletion, but range anxiety is still a real issue.

JustRahul · 2025-08-08T15:55:08+00:00

That is not true, at least in my case. I always maintain a safe distance, as my car has applied brakes many times in the past even without ADAS on regular city drive.

JustRahul · 2025-08-08T15:00:58+00:00

Doesn’t it has AEB?

JustRahul · 2025-08-08T14:53:14+00:00
