Skoda Auto is getting all charged up about electric cars. Yep, you heard it right! The electric vehicle era has kicked off in India, and lots of companies are jumping on the bandwagon.
Skoda doesn’t want to miss out on the action, so they’re planning to launch an affordable electric car in India. They’re aiming to make it a hit both in India and abroad. While they haven’t spilled the news about the car yet, word on the street is that it’ll be priced at under Rs 20 lakh and packed with top-notch features.
So, what’s the deal with this electric car?
Well, Skoda is planning to use the Global MEB platform for it. This platform was previously used by Mahindra. Skoda’s parent company, Volkswagen, is helping out by providing MEB components for the INGL electric platform.
While it’s not confirmed if the electric car will be based on the Kushak model, chances are high that it’ll be a compact SUV measuring around 4 meters.
Now, when can we expect to see this electric beauty on the roads? Skoda is playing it coy and hasn’t given a specific launch date yet. But word has it that it might hit the Indian market in the next two to three years. However, before the electric version rolls out, we might see the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) version first.
Alright, let’s talk competition. If Skoda’s electric car does make it to the market, it’ll be going head-to-head with the likes of the Tata Nexon EV and the Mahindra XUV400. The Nexon EV boasts an impressive range of up to 465 kilometers per charge. Tata Motors even reduced the price recently, making it more affordable for customers.
Skoda is gearing up to electrify the Indian car market with its affordable and feature-packed electric car. While we’ll have to wait a bit before we can get our hands on it, it’s definitely something to look forward to. So, if you’re in the market for an electric ride, keep an eye out for Skoda’s upcoming offering!
