With the debut of numerous new EV models, India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is set to grow significantly in the following year.
Numerous automakers have formally announced the debut of their electric vehicles in 2024, according to a report.
According to sources, the spike in new models is likely to open doors for leading automakers to enter India’s expanding EV sector, where electric vehicle sales now account for less than 7% of total vehicle sales.
Here is a list of new electric vehicles that will be introduced in India next year:
EV TATA HARRIER
Tata Motors has stated that the electric version of their flagship Harrier SUV, which was recently redesigned, will be available in 2024. The Harrier EV made its premiere at the Auto Expo earlier this year. The Harrier EV, which is based on the Gen 2 EV design, will support both V2L and V2V charging. So yet, little is known about this electric SUV’s range, performance, and features.

The XUV.e8 is scheduled to be produced under the Born Electric brand, with a dual electric powertrain and all-wheel drive technology. The XUV.e8 EV is likely to come with at least a 60-kWh battery pack, as well as features like level 2 ADAS and 5G connection from Mahindra.
