Here's a list that could help you Decide"},"content":{"rendered":"

India is still a long way back to have a seamless\u00a0electric vehicle ecosystem on its roads. Why is it so? Is it because these cars are very pricey or do we not have\u00a0the proper infrastructure? Or is it because we are not ready to accept electric cars as real?\u00a0Critics say that the technology is not mature enough to travel long distances or suitable for Indian roads. Another reason could be the lack of enough choices and a perfect combination of convenience, price, and looks.<\/p>\n

Though the last year was not a good one for the automobile industry, we expect 2021 to be better with news like Tesla entering the large Indian market\u00a0creating a lot of awareness among the masses. Also, rising fuel prices and\u00a0increased\u00a0awareness about climate change could propel Indians to think in this direction.<\/p>\n

I truly aspire to own one someday. So today I delve into the existing and upcoming electric cars in India to help readers make an easy choice. There are many advantages of buying an electric car<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
