India's EV Market Evolves Amid Home Charging Challenges and Petrol Vehicle Mileage Concerns
India's electric vehicle (EV) market is evolving with buyers increasingly valuing software features like voice commands and predictive battery usage alongside traditional factors such as battery range and price. However, a report highlights that only 55% of prospective EV owners currently have access to home charging, with many relying on unsafe or makeshift solutions. Separately, a survey reveals that over 60% of owners of petrol vehicles purchased before 2023 report a fuel mileage drop exceeding 10%, possibly linked to the nationwide rollout of E20 petrol fuel blending ethanol.
