Low Maintenance Costs

EVs have NO noise of their own!

The logic is simple, there is no engine under the hood so there is no noise as well! The electric motor functions so silently that you can even read a book inside! Considering the practical side, however silent the cabin of a car with an engine may be, an EV can always provide you with a more comfortable ride because of its completely silent operation.

This is the most important one among all the benefits of buying an EV considering its India!

Comfortable Cabin and More Storage Options
Improved Cabin We know we have already mentioned that the cabin is silent but if you go for an EV, you will get better legroom too. Although, the front section can offer you a better storage space because the gear lever is not there, the rear section of the cabin gets you a flat floor which is why the passenger in the middle can also enjoy the ride to the fullest! The storage options also increase, there can be storage option in the front under the hood as there is no engine this time. Motors and batteries don’t take much space as compared to the engines.
