Since the government announcement of complete Electric cars in India by 2030 sparks many auto manufacturers in the world and local to re-shift their strategy towards building electric rather than fossil fuel cars, some Indian auto manufactures already heading towards this plan and launched some models to review the initial market reaction.
However not many companies launched fully eclectic mode cars but they are expecting to launch in the next year such as Renault, BMW and Nissan, therefore these cars will be in the list of top electric cars price in India 2017-18.
Mahindra e2O plus
Mahindra e20 plus is a good compact small electric car which provides some basic features but didn’t impress at all against other auto manufacturing company in electric technology, a slight success in the Indian market only came of no other electric car available in the market which benefitted them, Mahindra would have to work a lot to compete against the upcoming launch models if they want to survive in the electric car market.
80 kmph top speed with the range of 140 km wouldn’t be enough to sustain in the market especially at that price.
