The Creta EV's introduction brings to mind how it will compare with the ICE version that Indian consumers are used to. Instant torque and smooth acceleration for which electric vehicles are famous come with added weight from the battery pack. This good for the Creta EV's class is all the more impressive given its 0-100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds. But straight line speed isn’t everything when it comes to performance. However there are factors such as handling, braking and overall driving dynamics we need to consider too. Of course the extra weight of the batteries could affect the cars center of gravity, and potentially its cornering abilities. In contrast the lower center of gravity could improve stability. The electric powertrain also raises the question of how it will fare with Indian driving conditions, which include varied terrain and extreme temperatures. Will the Creta EV bring a similar or better driving experience to its ICE sibling or will it feel like an entirely different car? How will all of that affect the way that consumers perceive and adopt the electric version?
