9 Top Electric Cars in India to Buy This Festive Season

The Tata Nexon EV is an impressive electric car launched by Tata. The polymer battery of Nexon EV is decked with a cooling liquid that helps the car battery to remain cool even after long drives. Nexon EV is also one of the electric SUVs that is affordable. Nexon EV generates a power of up to 127 bhp making it one of the best electric cars in India. There are three colours that buyers can choose from.

The MG ZS EV is a premium electric car by the British brand MG. The motor engine is quite similar to that of the Tata Nexon EV. This electric car has many features, such as power-assisted electric steering and machined diamond-cut alloy wheels. MG ZS EV also boasts of a 448-litre boot space. It generates a torque of 353 Nm. With a full charge that normally takes about 6 hours, it can cover a distance of 340 km.

The Kona Electric is clean and green. The performance is at par with other cars in the same price bracket and the list of features is long too. The looks are quirky and might polarise opinion but we quite like it. Getting the Kona Electric to India is a bold move and a step in the right direction. It is a premium product, no doubt. But the very fact that now, there exists a choice for even a minority customer base, is testimony to the fact that India is indeed moving towards electric mobility.

The MINI SE is a car that's not targeted at the masses. It just shows how capable the BMW Group is in terms of bringing in new electric cars to the market. It is a city car as the range is still close to just 200 km on a single charge. You can do your daily office runs in it and there will be no hassles with that, but it still has the essential MINI characteristics of delivering fun and an enthusiastic drive, to drive the mundane away.

Unlike BMW’s electric SUV, the i4 is based on an existing internal combustion model, the 4 Series Gran Coupe. The platform has been re-engineered to accommodate the underfloor battery and electric motors. Compared to the iX, the i4 gets a larger 80.7kWh battery and a range of up to 590 km on a full charge. The i4 can also support higher capacity charging of up to 205kW which will see its battery pack fill from 10-80% in just 31 minutes. A 50 kW charger meanwhile will achieve similar results in 83 minutes

On the whole though, the Audi RS e-tron GT is a very satisfying car to drive. It is comfortable even in its sportiest drive mode, it is luxurious, and will not tire you out in any way. It also has a drive range that can go as high as 480 kms, though my European counterparts tell me 380 kms is comfortably achieved. And while it is clearly not for everyone, it justifies the higher price tag over the standard GT, for sure.

Porsche always impresses us with its interior, and the case is the same here with plush interiors, intuitive displays, and plastics making it worth the cost. Compared to its aggressive siblings, this younger apprentice is worth the buy. Although the car can be upgraded with user preferences and may end up a bit more than its base cost, this vehicle can be defined as a true electric sports car, and possibly the best EV on sale in the Indian market!

The Jaguar I-Pace is a luxury electric SUV. It can be categorised as one of the best electric car in India that gives premium features. It is available in three different variants. It has two electric motors, one on each of the axles and has an AWD system. It produces a torque of 696 Nm and a power of 400 bhp. It also has a lot of features added to its name. It boasts dual-zone climate control, 6-way heated and ventilated memory front seats, a powered tailgate and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Jaguar I-Pace has six airbags, parking sensors and lane-keep assistance for a top-class safety facility.
