Tata Motors Dominate The Electric Cars Segment In India
The Indian car market has witnessed dynamic growth in the segment of electric cars. The cars from the makers like Tata Motors, MG, and Hyundai are highly attracting the buyers towards their performance. Moving ahead with encouragement by the state and central government there is a regular hike in the demand for electric cars in India. This has inspired other carmakers to convert their existing portfolio into electric cars. It is believed that in the coming years the Indian car market will be flooded by a fleet of electric cars from different manufacturers.
Well, as far as the best selling electric car in India is concerned, then interestingly the crown goes to the compact SUV Nexon EV from the domestic carmaker Tata Motors. It would be interesting to know that with the three key manufacturers of electric cars in India, the cars from Tata Motors dominate the market. The top-three best selling electric cars in the Indian car market are:
Tata Nexon EV: To begin with Tata Nexon, the compact SUV is one of the best selling electric cars at present in India. The affordable price tag, good average, and the presence of all the required safety features make Nexon EV the leader of the electric cars segment.
