Potential EV buyers in countries with immature charging infrastructure tend to be plagued by range anxiety, which is understandable. To solve this problem, the Hyundai Creta EV has a number of features, including multiple drive modes, regenerative braking, and a stated range of up to 473 km. Additionally, it’s capable of rapid charging, claiming it can reach 10–80% in as little as 58 minutes. Furthermore, Hyundai is offering mapped access to more than 10,000 EV charging stations, and a smart connected home charger. On paper, these features sound impressive, but we haven’t yet tested their real world effectiveness. Others say that these features will greatly help to alleviate range anxiety and make the Creta EV more attractive to first time EV buyers. And some point out that, even with these features, we'll need a more ubiquitous, more reliable charging infrastructure to satisfy them. The question remains: But will these range anxiety reducing features actually make a difference in the Indian market or are they just nice to have features that don't change buyer behavior at all?
