Considering a country like India with rising fuel prices and subsidy schemes, EVs have increased. Indian carmakers such as Mahindra & Tata stated that India could skip the hybrid phase and jump to pure EVs. Regardless of the statement and the official grants and plans launched, our country needs time to prepare for this revolution with proper infrastructure and technology. 

Overall, EVs are suitable for daily city runs and give a futuristic feel with 0 emissions for the environment. The current EVs running on the road are Tata Nexon EV, MG ZS EV, Hyundai Kona electric & Mahindra e20. As this revolution is growing, we have several more upcoming EVs soon that already have a vast audience. Check out these upcoming electric cars in 2021 and 2022.

1. Mahindra eKUV100
   

   

   The KUV100; introduced about five years back, but it could never make room in the market despite its features. KUV100 was a car ahead of its time, and the buyers never understood the appeal & the good deal it was. The eKUV100 was revealed in the 2020 Auto-Expo and was spied testing a while back too. Expo with a starting price of ₹8.25 Lakhs (ex-showroom) with a claimed range of 149 kilometres powered by a 15.9 kWh lithium-ion battery making 54bhp & 120Nm torque. Overall, there are no significant changes spotted in the exterior compared to the IC engine variant. With a fast charger, it could be brought up to 80% in 55 minutes.

   The version spotted had different alloy wheels with blue accents on the spokes, side, and the front grille. The Mahindra Electric(ME) badge on the charging socket flap. It also gets ‘+’ & ’-‘on the tailgate to establish and differentiate the electric version. It will hit the markets in early 2022.

The 5-star NCAP crash rating, a powerful engine, robust build & features such as the steering turn indicator did well in the market. An electric version of the same is also in the works, will be launched soon. Although Mahindra has not revealed any technical aspects of the car, the expected price is around ₹15 lakhs ex-showroom.

4. Tata Altroz EV
   

   

   
   As Tata observed a rise in the sales of the Nexon EV, they also launched a dark version of the same. Although the Nexon EV claimed a range of 312 kilometres, the figure differed on the road leading to disputes. 

   While considering EVs, the range is the most critical factor, and the Altroz EV, based on the Ziptron electric powertrain, is expected to have a range of 500 kilometres. The range seems promising and will continue to raise many expectations, but the on-road results differ. 

   It might come with the new ZConnec application previously seen with the Nexon EV, which ensures essential convenience and features vitals such as charge levels & history, charging stations, remote monitoring, and more. 

   The pricing could be aggressive and around ₹10 lakhs to make it the most affordable EV with a good range.

   It carries the Impact 2.0 design language & built on the ALFA-ARC platform; the pricing could be similar to the Nexon EV with a bit of hike.
