    Eh, don’t care. A sane person would’ve pick something well established, like a Tata Nexon, a Mahindra XUV400EV or a Citroen eC3. Or in premium segments, a Hyundai Ioniq 5, a KIA EV6 or those BMW cars whose names I don’t remember. Only rich, entitled ancap brats in India would buy something as expensive and proprietary as a Tesla.

        Not these specific cars, but there were plenty under Mahindra. e20, e20 Plus, Mahindra (Dacia) Logan, REVAi, Tata Indica Vista EV. There wasn’t a lot of choices in design and utility, like cross, hatchback or SUVs, but there were options. Honestly, the infrastructure was non-existent back then, and is still not that great for cars, so people opt for either the CNG or hybrid models if they want to go the eco-friendly route, but if we are talking about electric two-wheelers, then yes, they’re doing really well in the market.
