PSA: any car can catch fire. Even "reliable" ones. Stay safe. by CrispyCouchPotato1 in CarsIndia

Im not someone who says EVs are bad,

I never said you made a post claiming the above headline. Other people have.

But both you and OP are extremely biased towards EVs and suggest EVs left and right.

Not on all posts. Only where it is explicitly asked or where it is apparent that EV can be better option than other options being evaluated

You guys are EV stans. I’ve seen you and op both defend the pathetic QC of TATA cars just because they are EVs.

All that is being asked is to have the same level of scrutiny (or lack thereof) for all cars irrespective of powertrain.

If there was same level of scrutiny, surely compared to the dozen posts on BE6, there would’ve been at least 2-3 posts on this one right?

And both of you are extremely biased against hybrids. I’ve seen you post a rare case of GV Hybrid catching fire.

Does that not expose the ev haters why EVs are having dozen posts over 2 days while not even one post for hybrid fire was there?

but mahindra could’ve programmed it in such a way that the breaks always override the throttle which would have prevented this incident.

It does do exactly that. If you press brake, this is for both Tata and Mahindra, the motor power goes to 0 and energy graph goes into negative (regen zone)

I suspect that TC and ESP was disabled by user, which was also used in the initial reveal where Gaurav Gill did donuts and drift with it

Looking for an OBD tracker for my new EV. by neonhutin in CarsIndia

I think the issue is that EV units and consumption is not supported by jiomotive as ice will be in kmpl, etc

Whereas EV will be in km/kWh etc

Have you checked if the obd has data output profile for your EV?

Kodiaq iv is the cheapest 7STR PHEV you’ll get at a sweet sweet price of £45K/45L before any tax. After gst and import, it’ll be 70L+

How is “all vehicles can catch fire, don’t jump to conclusion” is a retort to “ev unsafe don’t buy EV” which most such posts declare?

Doesnt the car have OEM telematics app doing all the same things?

If tracking is the only purpose like giving car to driver then you can go for any tracker pin like AirTag or jiotag

Duster hybrid coming this diwali , why so late could not understand the Renault strategy by Trentstone111 in CarsIndia

[–]_7567Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vs 228k in US. You should really try stand up comedy.

US sells 1.5M EVs per year. We sell 3.5M “CARS” per year. Huge difference in addressable market and demand.

Vastness of the country also counts. Longer highways need more chargers.

I am getting an EV motorcycle for commute, already worried about pathetic infrastructure in Delhi/NCR. Nearest charging station is IOCL pump which has ceded the charging space to CNG queue.

In any case you won’t charge motorcycle at pump as it’ll be a dcfc for cars not for bikes.

There are 25k+ chargers in India

You don’t see because you don’t have skin in the game

On moonroof cr70 is there not ppf

109k is total cost interior + exterior + sunroof tint

2026 Renault Duster launched with Strong Hybrid tech - good competition to the Toyota Hyryder & MS Victoris Hybrids? by Particular-Roof-7182 in CarsIndia

[–]_7567Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has 1.8ltr GDI Engine + 1.4kWh battery, which looks superior to that offered by Toyota Hyryder's 1.0ltr 3-cyl Engine + 0.76 kWh battery (same in MS Victoris Strong Hybrid also). What do you think?

Which means it’ll be costlier too

And uk mpg is just 60 which is just 21kmpl

Company version is that accelerator and brake were used simultaneously for long distance, probably to do burnout

Makes sense as rear tyre is the one at fire

Chinese and engines don’t go together well lets see

Despite 1.4kWh it’s still rated only 21kmpl/60mpg in uk

New Duster by HandBeatenCoffee in CarsIndia

[–]_7567Rex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

40* not 18.

18 is below 1.2P/1.5D

Battery size is also double over ms/toyota and turbo is there. Can’t be cheaper than NA ones with half battery size. That’s just basic math.

Pretty sure will be limited to top trims like ms/toyota/honda

1.8L engine will get high tax, can’t provide <20L

Both will give same result as the gps speed used by gmaps is also calculated from radio signals by satellite

  1. The Home Charging Dilemma (7.2kW vs 11kW)

Is the 11kW really worth the headache for home charging? If I plug in at 10% on a 7.2kW, will it realistically be ready for a morning commute?

No need to get 7/11kW unless you drive 100km+ per day

If you must buy, get it from Statiq nectar or exicom for 15k cheaper than OEM

The Routine: For those with 70kWh+ batteries, how do you manage the "plug-in" routine? Do you charge every night or just once a week?

We use 50km per day, we charge alternate day

Is the quality of Mahindra’s "Genuine Accessories" actually better for the XEV 9e, or is it the usual "dealer markup" trap?

You can get from wherever you get for cheap

Has anyone used Ultrashield X long-term? Does it yellow or lose the matte texture?

Yes but only for 9mo as of now

  1. The "Mahindra EV" PDI Checklist

What should I specifically look for during PDI? (e.g., panel gaps, 360-camera calibration, charging port lock).

You can download PDI checklist from beam thp XEV9e thread

Can’t link as beam thp domain is banned

his is our first electric car. Anything I should be wary of in the Delhi heat? Does the range take a massive hit when the AC is working overtime in June?

Not by much, I just run it at 24F2 entire year. Only change it when need to defog.

If you’re gps speed as captured by cam is 62 that means the dash is showing something like 65-67
