    • @SaritDas-mw4ut
      @SaritDas-mw4ut 3 роки тому +1

      At this moment, the SUV stature of EQC did not look to be Indian 'Off-road' ready. If a 4-wheel drive-train is on board, the battery pack should have been placed a little higher on the chassis. And to become a practical competitor of its ICE siblings, the upfront price of EQC should be calculated sans the battery pack; battery pack should be leased out separately. Hope, Merc bosses didn't bring this model for market survey only and nor want to get obsolete in this price conscious market, like Toyota Prius.

  • @rishabhmehta2477
    @rishabhmehta2477 3 роки тому +2

    The low ground clearance might not work in its favour especially when damaging the battery can be very inconvenient and expensive.

    Great review! Pricey option though. I'd definitely buy a GLC and may be plant trees with remaining 40 odd lakhs, that will be way more contribution for Greener planet! :) Or may be, I will get a Nexon EV instead.. ;)

    • @vardhan4594
      @vardhan4594 3 роки тому

      Petrol bunks aren't designed to manage EVs. Fuel cars don't need much time so the queue keeps on going but EVs need superchargers where a car might take 10-20 min atleast. So longer queues, hence a totally new setup

    • @abhishetty2637
      @abhishetty2637 3 роки тому +7

      But no one will build Ev infra if no one buys enough Ev cars.
      If you're are a wealthy person it would be a kind of social service to buy electric cars so that it make economic sense to build electric infrastructure across the country.
      People had your mentality when Tesla first took off but they generated enough hype for rich enthusiasts to buy it and now look where they are.
      I'd appreciate it people bought electric cars so that a middle class person like myself could buy a exciting electric car for reasonable price in the near future without hassle.
      I love driving ICE cars but no point in having a ICE for daily commute to the office and just boring trip between point A to B in traffic.

  • @aadilshahir7175
    @aadilshahir7175 3 роки тому +17

    Will anyone buy this 1 crore Merc EV when there are better cars available for that price range..and the time taken to charge an EV is still a problem for most buyers..and that low ground clearance doesn’t help at all on Indian roads..hope they develop a technology soon to lower the charging speeds to 10 minutes or less or else find a way to start battery replacement centres wherein the low charge battery can be replaced with a fully charged one within minutes..and i heard this battery replacement concept is under development..!!

  • @millionwolves
    @millionwolves 3 роки тому +5

    EQC is a different bet all together. Firstly, each electric power charging station should see options of other OEMs DC chargers(Kia, MB, TATA etc) instead of having them spread out isolated, clubbed like what UPI did to our payment methods. That i believe is the first step to let prospective customers use for their existing electric cars. Cars, range and price stand later in our country.

    The ultimate target for car manufacturers should be to unify on a common car battery, so that rather than charging somehwere, drivers would be able to just go to a station, pay for the recharged batter and give the non-charged battery.
