⚡️The Premium 7-seater segment is heating up. ⚡️ I compared the recently launched VF MPV 7 with 4 major contenders: Carens EV, eMAX 7, XEV 9S, and the Hycross Hybrid. ⚡️Full spec breakdown below. Did VinFast lose the plot here?👇 #EVMarket #CarStats

Public subsidies should reward actual emissions reduction, not merely the presence of a battery in a vehicle. I remain opposed to the inclusion of hybrid vehicles within EV policy frameworks. A vehicle with a tailpipe and continued fossil fuel dependence cannot be equated with a zero-emission vehicle. Blurring that distinction weakens both policy credibility and long-term transition signals. That said, if the government chooses to extend EV-linked incentives to hybrids, anticipating them as transition vehicles, such support should be strictly performance-based. For instance, where a 50% GST concession is granted, the beneficiary should be required to demonstrate that at least 50% of the vehicle’s cumulative kilometers over the ownership period were driven in electric mode, verified through onboard telematics or certified usage data. If this threshold is not met, the proportion of travel undertaken using the internal combustion engine should be subject to deferred tax recovery after a defined period, such as 10 years. indianexpress.com/article/cities… via @IndianExpress

I am against any curtailment on EV uptake and K'taka is really going regressive. Even BJP Ruled State Haryana which is under the Nose of Delhi is charging road tax on EVs. Why are national priorities NOT applicable on Haryana which is charging Tax on EVs for more then a year now.

🚗 800,361 km. Zero defects. Passed inspection again. In a Tesla Model S. You know… the “toy” that was supposed to die after a few years. 😉 No engine rebuild. No oil changes. No emissions drama. Just… driving. Meanwhile, the internet keeps repeating: ❌ “Batteries die quickly” ❌ “EVs don’t last” ❌ “Not real-world proven” Funny. My car didn’t get the memo. Maybe the real issue isn’t the technology. Maybe it’s that some opinions are just… pre-installed. Curious: Does anyone know a car in Austria with more than 800,000 km on the clock? I’d genuinely like to see it. More details here: 👉 sonice.at The future isn’t coming. It’s already parked in my garage. 🍿 #EV #Tesla #ElectricVehicles #MythBusting #Innovation

Looking at the fuel crisis, E20+ blending of petrol & blending in diesel soon, what do you think is a sensible option ?

@ExpWithEVs @VinFastIN @VGreenEVCharge @ElectreeFi @sandeepbangia @TeslaClubIN @evelectree Amazing details. A 60 KW maximum charging speed, when their cars can charge faster, is a very poor implementation @VinFastofficial @VinFastIN - Choose the right partner who sets up the network for the future, not for today.

Left from Kasar with 61% and did a fast 22% topup @BPCLimited in 18min. Reached Gurgaon, 435km with 11% battery to spare. 435km in 72% Soc with ambient temps in plains ~40c. Total trip distance =965km Total charging break: 1st Food break 40min +23% 2nd Opportunity topup +17% in 15min 3rd Over night +36% at Resort 4th 22% in 18min Hence total time charged apart from food /over night = 30mins! Resort charging was not required but did it just becase it was available.

A while back I did a lifecycle CO2 calculation for India — EV vs Petrol, with peer-reviewed sources. Putting it out as a full article now for wider reach. EVs produce 14.7% less CO2 — even on India's 2021 coal-heavy grid. Tagging some notable journalists. If you find the analysis credible and worth spreading, would appreciate you sharing it through your platform. evelectree.com/article/do-evs…

Irony is NonEv owners are stressed about range anxiety and charging infrastructure by hearing EV while EV owners are taking more and more long trips.

Been following Ankush's hard work (@ferrarirules86) for months and perfect case of "hard work pays off" Congrats Ankush. More power to you and the EV⚡️community

@ferrarirules86 we would like to get in touch with you for a podcast we are planning. If you don’t mind, could you please share your contact details on editorial@autocarindia.com Thank you 🙏

Why is everything about “marketing” and chest thumping for you ? Why can’t we have common goals of zero tailpipe emission mobility ? Why is it always that you will not promote EVs unless a brand sends you the car ? Let’s grow up and have some un-egoistic approach towards cleaner mobility 🤦🏻

~₹30 per km is what a Skoda Slavia owner is spending in running costs for a 1L engine Imagine paying 17L for a car and getting this. Maybe it is a 5:95 city:highway usage car Source: reddit.com/r/SkodaVolkswa…

Delhi's Draft EV Policy 2026 is largely well-designed. But giving strong hybrids 50% road tax relief is a strategic mistake. A strong hybrid carries ~1.5 kWh of battery. The Tata Punch EV carries 40 kWh. The hybrid still burns fuel every single km. Forever. India just lived through a 40-day Hormuz closure. This is not the time to blur the line between EVs and fuel-dependent vehicles. My assessment — and why I think Delhi should reconsider: evelectree.com/article/delhi-…

An outstanding analysis by @ferrarirules86. 👏👏 Fascinating insights into the powertrain mix which is increasingly being defined by regulations & company strategy and not just customer preference

@Tataev has dominated the Indian EV market, but their 7,500 km service cycle is a lingering pain point. It’s time they align with global EV norms. Getting rid of these frequent visits would be a huge win for customer convenience and brand trust.

@pranavjindal999 Bro sings praises of 3cyl hybrids with less displacement than family pack cola bottle and look at the descriptions he gives about driving Ain’t he the same guy who was claiming hybrid runs on ev mode 60% of time? Is he scared of driving 60% of time as per his own claims?

If there was a desiel engine that could be as silent as petrol engine, that would be the only engine that would exist. If there was a petrol engine that could be as silent as electric motors, that would be the only engine that would exist.

⚡️ The fossil fuel era is ending faster than anyone predicted. 📉 We analyzed the last 8 years of Indian auto data. The tipping point is here. A deep dive into the massive CNG and EV fuel shift taking over the market. 🧵👇 🔗 evelectree.com/article/india-… ➡️Please read through the🧵for each OEM's stats

In the meantime… Image 1 : Punch EV to Bhutan Image 2 : BE6 to Pangong Image 3 : Curvv EV to Kaho (1st Indian village in East) Image 4 : EQB at Siachen base camp Twitter supports four pics only else would have added a lot more :-) PS: I love CNG equally - have done K2K on CNG power ;-)

One of the prime reasons why mAh is stupid when it comes to battery capacity measurement. Whoever thinks a phone's 7,000mAh battery is better than this laptop's 5,360mAh battery needs to be sent to a mental hospital. ALWAYS use Wh.
