Customers have fallen for this car leaving the electric, gives a great mileage of 30 KM, not even the tension of CNG!
Due to the problems, customers cannot trust electric cars and their sales are not showing any momentum. On the other hand, a cheaper alternative to petrol-diesel cars has also come in the market. This option is not CNG. We are talking about hybrid cars. These cars have gained speed in terms of sales in the country. Mainly Japanese car companies are working on this particular technology.
There is no alternative to electric cars in terms of good mileage, but these cars are not selling as they should because they are expensive and have a limited range in a single charge. Due to this, the sales of electric cars are still low compared to petrol diesel cars. If you look at the statistics, an average of three lakh cars are sold every month in the country. 3,28,669 cars were sold in the month of October. The share of electric cars is only 7-8 thousand. The cheapest electric car in the market today is the Tata Tiago EV. Its base model is priced at Rs 9.30 lakh on-road in Delhi. The car comes in the petrol version for Rs 6.19 lakh only. That means your three lakh rupees goes more. Apart from this, electric vehicles also have some limitations. As you can't plan a long drive with this electric car. This vehicle will travel a maximum of 200-250 km in a single charge.
Due to all these problems, customers cannot trust electric cars and their sales are not showing any momentum. On the other hand, a cheaper alternative to petrol-diesel cars has also come in the market. This option is not CNG. We are talking about hybrid cars. These cars have gained speed in terms of sales in the country. Mainly Japanese car companies are working on this particular technology. These companies include Maruti Suzuki, Toyota and Honda. In fact, hybrid technology uses a petrol engine as well as a lithium ion battery. This battery keeps charging itself by generating electricity in the running car. Being a powerful battery, most of the work of the vehicle is done by it. So that the mileage of the car increases by 35 to 40 percent compared to petrol.
No hassle of charging like EV
Currently, there are only four cars in the country - Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Highrider, Honda City and Toyota Innova Highcross Hybrid. Hybrid cars have solved the mileage problem to a great extent along with removing the hassle of charging. According to the report, the total sales of hybrid cars in the last three months ie September, October and November stood at 24,062 units. While sales of electric cars remained only 21,445 units. Interestingly, there are currently 16 electricians in the market. The sales of hybrid cars are continuously increasing. Looking at the figures for the quarter ended in June, only 14,400 hybrid cars were sold during that time. While 25,200 electric cars were sold in that quarter. According to a report by Economics Times, Shashank Srivastava, Senior Executive Officer of Maruti Suzuki, the country's largest car maker, says that sales of strong hybrid cars are increasing rapidly.
