OWNING AN EV IN INDIA IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK! EPISODE 150

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out of Spec Podcast features Priyans Murarka, an EV owner in India, who shares his extensive experiences and data collection efforts. Murarka highlights the growing charging infrastructure in India, noting it has nearly doubled in six months, though challenges with app fragmentation persist. He discusses owning two EVs: the MG ZS EV (2022) and the Tata Tiago EV (2023), detailing their real-world ranges of approximately 400 km and 200 km respectively, which are slightly lower than advertised but sufficient for his needs. A key takeaway is the importance of meticulous planning for road trips, especially in less developed charging regions. Murarka also touches upon the initial cost barrier for EVs in India compared to ICE vehicles, despite a lower total cost of ownership. His work, documented on 'ExperiencesWithEVs', aims to demystify EV ownership in India and encourage wider adoption by sharing detailed data and insights.
