That’s perfect for the target audience: young, tech savvy buyers who want to stand out. The XUV700 can be reserved for the older folks.

I’m afraid it’ll look dated really quickly. Do you remember how quickly those 'futuristic' designs from the early 2000's aged?

The aero probably helps with range, but it's not just about looks. When it comes to an EV, I’d take function over form any day.

It's a gamble for Mahindra, but it could pay off. See how popular the Kia EV6 is with its wild styling.

I love it, I can just tell they’ll water it down for production. Real thing never looks as cool as concept cars.
Will the Mahindra BE.05’s fast charging actually make a difference in the real world?

It's a game-changer for sure! It’s a huge peace of mind booster even if you don’t use it daily, knowing you can charge up quickly on long trips. That will help a lot of people get past their range anxiety.

It sounds great, but where are all these fast chargers? It’s just a fancy feature on paper until we have a proper charging infrastructure. The vast majority will have to suffer slow home charging.

I do think it will make a big difference for people who live in apartments and don’t have home charging. If they could quickly top up at a nearby charger, EV ownership could become much more feasible for them.

Nice, but how do the batteries degrade? Fast charging the battery frequently can wear out the battery faster. I would much rather have a larger battery and more range than super quick charging.

Most of the time, it won't matter for most daily use. For those few times a year when you have to make a long trip however, it’s perfect. It's like a spare tire you don't use very often, but you're glad to have it when you need it.
How do you take on the established global EV brands with the Mahindra BE.05?
31 December 2024 09:39
Absolutely! No foreign brand knows the Indian market as well as Mahindra. They'll get the pricing and features right for what Indians want, not just copy paste a global model.

No way. Mahindra is playing catch up, and it shows, and Tesla and Hyundai are light years ahead in EV tech. So why would you buy a BE.05 when you could get a proven global brand?

It doesn't have to beat Tesla to win. If Mahindra can supply 80% of the features for 60% of the price, they have a winner in India. Not everyone can afford or needs top tier EV.

It's going to be a huge 'Made in India' factor. People will choose Mahindra as they will want to support an Indian company fighting global giants. It’s about national pride, not just specs.

I'm skeptical. The tech is the name of the game with EVs, and Mahindra doesn't have deep pockets to spend on R&D like the big, global players. I think they're going to make a decent car, but I don't think they'll be class leading in any way.
Will the ADAS features of the Mahindra BE.05 be practical on Indian roads?
31 December 2024 09:39
I think it'll be a disaster. ADAS is intended for orderly Western roads, not our beautiful chaos. It'll freak out every 5 seconds and become more of a headache than a help.

In fact, it might work better than we think. While it may not be perfect, it’s better than nothing. Preventing accidents, particularly for less experienced drivers, is what it could help in.

The real question is if it will work in the rain during monsoon season. If it can handle that, it can handle anything!

I'm excited to try it out. It's not perfect but it’s a step towards safer roads. Why can’t Mahindra bring these features to India?

The systems for India will probably have to be seriously tweaked. However, if they do it right, it could be a huge selling point. Can you imagine relaxing a little in bumper to bumper traffic?
