Wanna buy a new car in the next 1-2 years and would probably go for an EV with the crazy fuel prices. Also, EVs are just cooler. Here's hoping the costs come down a bit and the issues are streamlined by then. Right now, I think Nexon is the best EV at somewhat palatable prices but still quite a bit higher than its petrol counterpart. Buy as soon as possible. The price hikes are f**king crazy. I've been waiting for a year, and prices are already up by around 10-15% at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3D_D3ViL Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) For a Made in India product, this is impressive. Looking forward to real world impressions. The price might be an entry barrier as well as the charge network across India. But this might jumpstart the industry make the whole EV segment go mainstream sooner than later. Exciting times ahead.

At 86k and 1.1L for S1 & S1 Pro respectively, in Delhi, the pricing seems very competitive. Even the S1 will be faster than any conventional scooter available and range of 120km is decent as well for city use. Only problematic thing is the charging, even using Ola's Hypercharger, 50% will take 18 minutes, I don't think anyone has time to wait around for 18 mins at a charging station. When it comes to the network coverage, I think OLA will pull it off and absolutely flood the market with stations. They didn't mention how much can you top-up in let's say 3-5 mins, that's more important otherwise charging at home will be the way to go.

rushab oswal Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Need to see real world usage, and build quality. Not a fan of the design but if it gives 70% of promised range its more than enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who's doing the charging stations for them ? Time to go big on EV OEM stocks. I'm guessing some consolidation to happen in 5-8 years.

AtheK Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 The new XUV 700 knocked it out of the park, brilliant pricing for the manual versions, let's see how they price automatic. Sensibly priced product after a long long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given it's already 6% up, I might be correct. No idea about the charging stations though. Edited August 16, 2021 by KunjanPSD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1st gen diesel Amaze still serves me well (low running), but the value proposition of both the base Petrol and Diesel models seem too hard to miss. Need to see how the reviews pan out, might just plan to replace my current diesel for another diesel. 200Ps petrol engine sounds enticing, but I'm pretty sure, it will burn the wallet as a whole (single digit kmpl) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the safari/harrier from outside but such a drab from inside. Checked alcazar, sat in, got out. This one just ticks everything, will book top end petrol automatic probably. Waiting to see it In person and get a test drive. The perfect SUV would be Harrier Dark edition or Tata Safari Adventure edition from outside with XUV700 interior. Would book in a jiffy.

We are looking for a new car as well but it just seems like by buying a petrol car, we will be paying govt's debt, lol. I think we'll just wait for a decent hybrid SUV atleast.

It's stupid to have fragmented charging infrastructure. This environment sh*t is just posturing. In they all of them want monopoly only. Tata is going long with HPCL and other partners on charging stations. Interoperability is starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gecko89 Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Simple Energy One Another day another Electric Scooter, however this one seems promising even more so than the Ola Scooter going by the specs. Never heard of the company though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzkreiig Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Dude interceptor has nothing on a classic. Also one has to be shallow to just ride for speeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
