Driving an electric vehicle for months, the Hyundai IONIQ5, BMW iX and now the Kia Carens Clavis electric, has convinced me of the viability of EVs for city and mid-range commutes.
Mahindra is so confident about the XEV9s and its ‘conventional’ design and tech appeal that it’s doubling production at its Chakan EV plant to 8,000 vehicles a month.
