The adoption of EVs over ICE vehicles takes a good pace in India; over the last few years we have seen the launch of many electric cars in the market that are quite costly. Now, many automakers are shifting their focus to launching affordable EVs to cater to the buyer looking for the entry-level electric cars.
In the next few months, many entry-level EVs are set to be introduced with affordable, smart features and fast charging.
