There was a period when EVs were not considered a viable option to fossil-fuel cars, mostly because to the range anxiety that was associated with them. However, in today’s world, range anxiety is a thing of the past, as many EVs claim to have a range of more than 300 kilometers. Here are the ten most cheap among them:
Tata Tigor EV
The Tata Tigor EV is the carmaker’s first entry in the list with a claimed range of more than 300 km and the only subcompact sedan on the list. It has a 26 kWh battery pack with a claimed range of 315 km based on ARAI ratings. It is priced between Rs. 12.49 lakh to Rs. 13.75 lakh.
MG Windsor EV
The MG Windsor EV was India’s first electric product to have a battery subscription plan, which significantly decreased the EV’s pricing. The Windsor has a 38 kWh battery pack and a claimed range of 332 km.
With the battery rental plan, the Windsor EV costs between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 12 lakh. So, if you choose the battery rental option, the Windsor will be the most economical EV on this list with a claimed range of more than 300 kilometers. However, pricing for the battery pack range between Rs 14 lakh and Rs 16 lakh.
Tata Punch EV
The Tata Punch EV debuted in January 2024 and was named the best-selling automobile of the year. The Punch EV offers two battery pack options: 25 kWh and 35 kWh, with the latter claiming a range of 365 km. However, the lesser battery pack option claims a range of only 265 kilometres. So, if we simply look at the long-range models, the prices range between Rs 12.84 lakh and Rs 14.44 lakh.
Tata Nexon EV
The Tata Nexon EV is another Tata offering that joins the list of vehicles with a stated range of more than 300 kilometers. It has three battery pack options: 30 kWh, 40.5 kWh, and 45 kWh, with the latter two having a MIDC-claimed range of more than 300 km. The 40.5 kWh battery pack has a claimed range of 390 kilometers, while the 45 kWh unit has 489 kilometers. The prices for the two battery pack options range from Rs 13.99 lakh to Rs 17.19 lakh.
Mahindra XUV400 EV
The Mahindra XUV400 is ready for an upgrade, especially after the XUV300 on which it is based was facelifted in 2024 to become the XUV 3XO. However, in its current configuration, it is available with either a 34.5 kWh or a 39.4 kWh battery pack, both of which have a stated range of more than 300 kilometers. The smaller battery pack has a claimed range of 359 km, whilst the larger battery pack can travel up to 456 km on a full charge. The price of this Mahindra EV ranges from Rs 16.74 lakh to Rs 17.69 lakh.
