This article lists the five most budget friendly electric cars on sale in the Indian market from the top EV brands
Electric car sales in India have seen a significant improvement in the last couple of years. Earlier, the limited availability of affordable EV models and inadequate charging infrastructure played a big role in why people preferred ICE cars over EVs. Moreover, the various incentives rolled out on the purchase of all-electric cars by the Union government and several state governments is also one of the biggest reasons for rising sales numbers in this segment. Here, we have listed the top 5 budget friendly electric cars in India.
