Every electric car, cheapest first
We track 21 electric cars. Below ₹10 lakh ex-showroom there are 3; below ₹15 lakh, 8; below ₹20 lakh, 16. Range is the manufacturer's certified figure for the cheapest variant's battery, with the test cycle it was certified on — figures from different cycles cannot be compared.

Ex-showroom, Delhi. 11 of the 21 include a home wall-box charger in every price and 9 sell it separately; on the other one it depends on the variant, so two EV prices are only comparable once you know which. Each car's powertrains page compares its battery packs.

The longest certified range
On MIDC P1+P2, the cycle most of these are certified on, the longest figures — one per car, from its longest-range variant — are the Mahindra BE 6 Three+ 79 kWh at 708 km (₹24,95,000), the Mahindra XEV 9S One Above 79 kWh at 679 km (₹22,65,000), the Tata Sierra EV Adventure 75 kWh at 665 km (₹22,19,000), the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two 79 kWh at 656 km (₹26,50,000) and the Tata Harrier EV Fearless+ 75 kWh at 627 km (₹25,29,000). 5 cars certified only on another cycle are left out of that comparison rather than ranked against it: MG Comet EV, Tata Tigor EV, Maruti e Vitara, MG ZS EV and BYD eMax 7. Certified range is measured on a standard cycle and is longer than what a car covers on a highway or with the air-conditioning on.

Many states waive or cut road tax on electric cars, and several of those waivers carry an end date. We print an EV rate only where we have verified it — 16 of 36 states and union territories today. Elsewhere our on-road figures charge the petrol rate and say so. Each car's on-road page shows its total in every state, and the RTO charges guide explains the slabs.
