Is the BYD eMAX 7 a game changer for the Indian MPV market?
02 January 2025 06:29
Game-changer? More like a niche player. Yes, it’s got some fancy tech, but at that price point, it’s not going to unseat the Innova anytime soon. While rotating touchscreens may be the latest thing on the market, most MPV buyers are in the market for reliability and low running costs.

It's too early to call it a game changer, I think. On paper, the eMAX 7 looks promising, but BYD is still an unknown entity in India. Before they can make a real dent in the market, they will need to prove their after sales support and long term reliability.

I’m an EV enthusiast and I’m excited about the eMAX 7. Electric vehicles can work in all segments, it's showing. But I am concerned about charging infrastructure for long trips, which is important for MPV users.

But let's be real, the eMAX 7 is less of a practical family car and more of a tech showcase right now. It’s cool, but it’s not going to revolutionize the MPV market until it’s as cheap as an MPV and as easy to charge as refueling.
With AC blasting, how will the Electric XUV300's range hold up in real world Indian conditions?
02 January 2025 05:48
With AC on full blast, I bet the real world range will be closer to 300 km. Not as impressive as claimed 400+, but still decent.

It will depend a lot on the driving style. If you are gentle on the throttle and use good regenerative braking, you could probably get within proximity of the advertised range even with AC.

No EV does its claimed range in Indian conditions, let’s be real. In summer I'd expect a 30-40% drop.

Mahindra might surprise us. They have been testing these cars in Indian conditions extensively, so perhaps they have tuned the battery and AC system for our climate.

Sure, even if it only makes 250–300 km with AC that’s still plenty for daily use. In any case, most people don’t drive that much in a day.

The real question is how it will do on highway trips. Regen might be fine for city driving, but doing constant high speed cruising with AC could really kill your range.

What I am more concerned about is how the range is going to degrade over time. After a few Indian summers will it still deliver decent range?
Will the premium pricing strategy of the Mahindra XUV.e9 work in the Indian market?

A Mahindra is too expensive. At that price point, people will just go for MG or Hyundai.

I think it could work. People trust Indian brands more for after sales support and Mahindra's been upping their game lately.

Pushing the market forward is a risky move, but someone has to. It could pay off, if the quality matches the price.

If they think people will pay 22 lakhs for a Mahindra EV, they're dreaming. It'd probably work for half that price.

It’s not just about the brand, it’s also about the product. People will pay for it if it's genuinely good.

Mahindra's 'Nexon moment' — the car that alters people's perception of the brand?

It's ambitious pricing, but with all the features they're throwing in, it could actually be good value.
How far and how fast can the Mahindra XUV.e9 go in real world Indian conditions?
31 December 2024 11:18
500 km range? That's never happening in real life. Maybe 350 km if you're lucky. Good luck finding fast chargers on highways, for instance.

Long trips may be stressful, but I think it’d be fine for city use. Before these EVs make sense, we need better charging infrastructure.
