Can the Thar.e's performance capabilities change the perception of EVs in India?

There’s plenty to get excited about with the Mahindra Thar.e concept if the stats are to be believed. That has spurred discussion around whether it could help change perceptions of electric vehicles in India, where there is still some skepticism about the performance of EVs, especially in challenging conditions. Many are surprised by the Thar.e's ability to drift and handle off road terrain as shown in promotional videos. It's not clear if this could bring traditional SUV and off road enthusiasts to the EV market. But some believe the Thar.e could be a game changer in proving that EVs can be fun and capable. But some others worry that the primary focus is likely performance as EVs offer range and charging infrastructure issues which are still major problems for EV acceptance in India.
