Will Mahindra's focus on a high end electric halo car divert resources away from developing more practical EVs for the Indian market?

I fear this is Mahindra simply trying to get into the Tesla game and losing sight of what they do best. They should focus on what they’re good at, and make rugged, affordable EVs for India.

Why not both? High end and affordable EVs are what Tata is managing to develop. For Mahindra to be a serious player in the EV market they have to cover all bases.

I believe that we underestimate the PR value of this project. While it may not result in affordable EVs directly, it might just make Indians excited about electric cars in general. That's gotta be good for the whole market.

We can't forget that Mahindra has a history of learning from high end projects and then using that in mass market vehicles. Do you remember how the XUV500 changed the game for Indian SUVs? The same could be done for EVs.
What can we expect in terms of performance and technology when compared to international competitors for Mahindra’s electric halo car?

I think Mahindra's gonna come out of this and surprise a lot of people. They've been killing it in Formula E and that experience will surely transfer over into some serious performance. And they have that Indian jugaad spirit — they might come up with some clever solutions we haven’t seen before.

Mahindra's playing catch up here, let's be real. Companies like Tesla and Porsche have been at this for years and have much more resources. Mahindra is gonna have a tough job to play in matching their level of refinement and performance.

Neither of you get it. It doesn't have to beat Tesla or Porsche to be successful. If you can get 80% of the performance for 60% of the price, that’s a win. Plus, it'll be the only car with that distinct Indian flavor that might attract some buyers.

Reliability is what I'm worried about. Mahindra has a history of first gen products with issues. An SUV is a lot simpler than an electric super car. It could be a huge embarrassment and they better get it right.

Why are we assuming that Mahindra is going at it alone? They could team up with or buy out some of the most innovative tech companies out there to help them get more powerful. It could help them skip some of the development process.

Perhaps we’re underestimating the role of software in modern EVs. If they get the user interface right and they’re able to do over the air updates, then they have a real edge. It's an area where even the big players sometimes struggle.

We can't forget about charging infrastructure. The car doesn’t matter how good it is, if you can’t charge it conveniently. The whole ecosystem has to be thought of by Mahindra, not just the vehicle.
Will the eKUV100’s design be an attraction for young Indian buyers?
31 December 2024 10:19
It’s too boxy and old school. The younger buyers want something sleeker.

I think it's cute! It has a sort of quirky charm that first time buyers might find appealing.

If they had to go futuristic, they should've done it for the EV tech inside.

But the familiar look might actually help older buyers make the move to EVs.

It's not pretty, but perhaps buyers will be more interested in practicality.

These days young buyers care more about tech features than exterior design.

The boxy design could be made more youth appealing with a funky color palette.
Is Mahindra’s focus on affordable EVs the right way to go for India?
31 December 2024 10:19
Absolutely! For EV adoption to take hold in India, it needs affordable EVs. Luxury EVs are not in the reach of all.

I’m frightened they’re economising prematurely on the products and features, in the race to restrict costs.
