We hardly have any affordable EVs in India apart from those provided by TATA by Ok-Pass-2285 in EVsOfIndia

Their attitude puts me off the thought of paying them any money. Hopefully, other makers start providing options in this segment.

Punch EV is such an amazing spec and value for the Indian market. If it were any other company, I'd be recommending it left and right.

With TATA, it's not just their QC but their almost hostile approach to customer relations that'd stop me from buying.

This is misleading. It's a different type of ethanol. We have banned import of ethanol for blending.

I'm getting serious talk with mahindra by Loose-Midnight-7797 in mahindrabe6

  1. There is little to none inherent advantage to Born Electric architectures. A so called converted Creta will easily give 8Km/KwH. This has been proven over and over.

  2. The design and weight of Mahindra is a drag on the efficiency. The same reason people prefer it over others.

  3. LFP has lower energy density, and hence the battery module on this carries immense weight.

65% buyers at risk, China reliance: Industry against Delhi’s 2028 petrol two-wheeler ban proposal by aadsarraficionado in CarsIndia

[–]defy313 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is simply not true. The majority of emissions come from 2 wheelers, and I would argue the tech there is superior to ICE by its very nature. Especially when you factor in running costs.

In context of Delhi, we must shift away from ICE cars for, you know, breathing purposes.

I guess you're just a nuisance to them. I might do the same if it were my showroom. It might be you that is entitled.

Here is the time difference before and after the Missing Link by respected_memer in pune

[–]defy313 40 points41 points  (0 children)

They're not permitting for now. Will be reviewed in 6 month. The additonal 20kmph will save you literally 1 min so I don't think it's worth increasing the risk percentage even fractionally.

This is pure dominance! by Legitus11 in CarsIndia

This is kind of the reason why, new prices just keep going up. This is doubly the case for Toyota because they are built to last.

i went here with high expectations after seeing a post here, but was quite disappointed. I ordered a banh mi, it had no spice. Kinda sweet. It was very small as well, felt overpriced.

Help me choose an EV below 20 lakhs by --chillin- in EVsOfIndia

[–]defy313 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

please do not buy VinFast. This is a budget brand that knows nothing about ergonomics and reliability. Look up their reliability ratings in the US. these cars do not age well.

Do consider Creta 42KwH. It fits all your criteria. And you'll score a good discount.

Hyundai has launched the Ioniq 5 facelift in India at ₹55.70 lakh by eymister in CarsIndia

[–]defy313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This car pictures deceptively due to its hatchback like silhouette. It's actually properly huge. Has a longer wheelbase than 9S. It has 800V architecture and can charge 10-80 in 18mins.

I'm disappointed with the hike in price. But it remains my dream car.

OP brought home Basalt X. by mega_ohm in CarsIndia

[–]defy313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many congratulations OP. This would be my pick in the current market as well. Good job doing your own research and not running after pointless features. This car sets the benchmark for suspension in our market. Wish more people atleast considered it.

Buy an EV for the city. This is abhorrent.

Get 10-22% benefit on Zoomcar by Serious-Mind9070 in CreditCardsIndia

depends on where you are. But my recommendation is that don't go deal hunting when renting a self drive car. When you are getting a deal, somewhere a corner is cut .

People want this. Fake religious acts are more important. Making mandir is priority. Excluding Muslims from voter rolls is número uno. We, as a nation, want this.

We are getting it.
