We are halfway through the year, and it is undoubtedly the year of EVs. With launches happening almost every month, EVs have quickly become the hot topic of the Indian automobile industry.
A major concern of those looking to switch to EVs is the every present anxiety about the range of their car. No one wants to be stranded in the middle of nowhere on zero charge and no assistance.

| Model | Price | Range | Battery |
| Mahindra BE 6 | ₹18.90 - ₹26.90 Lakh | 682 km | 59 & 79 kWh |
| Mahindra XEV 9e | ₹21.90 - ₹30.50 Lakh | 656 km | 59 & 79 kWh |
