“Someday all cars will go electric!”

Very few people believed that this 20th-century prophecy would materialise into reality. Yet, fully electric vehicles (EV) have started gaining such mileage, it is estimated that by 2050 at least 50% of the total global fleet will be powered by electric batteries. 

Besides their undisputed environmental advantages, EVs tend to have a low centre of gravity, which improves handling, comfort and overall drivers’ safety. According to some studies, on average, driving an EV costs 10% less than its petrol-run counterpart.

While these are excellent reasons to go green, we picked a few locally available EVs to melt your hearts.

MG E-ZS: Affordable Comfort

At Rs 1.9 million, the MG E-ZS, with a total output of 110kw with a 325 kms range seems to be the most affordable EV at hand. Powered by a 44.5 kWh, a water-cooled lithium-ion battery, it generates up to 325km from a single charge on the WLTP combined cycle. The MG E-ZS is available at Autonexx.

The Solid Leaf by Nissan 

The New Nissan Leaf hatchback features a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery generating 147 horsepower with a range of 149 miles.

The central locking, front A/C, airbags and ABS brakes, single-speed direct-drive and E-Pedal Transmission make the Nissan Leaf of ABC Motors an attractive bargain at a price ranging from Rs 2,18M.

The seamless PACE of the Jaguar

The Jaguar I-PACE instant torque and all-wheel drive traction give this beast the acceleration of a sports car. The 400PS powertrain reaches 100km/h (60mph) in 4,8 seconds.

Featuring an elegant, highly aerodynamic design with a low drag coefficient of 0,29Cd, I PACE is said to have been created to provide efficiency by slicing cleanly through the air for maximum range and stability.
