Everything boils down to range. Why after so much hype and preparation for about a year, Hyundai has come up wirh only 41 and 51 kWh batteries? Currently in Creta's class all SUVs offer larger battery packs. Moreover DC fast charging figures are also disappointing. Good thing is 11kw AC fast charging support but for which electrification infra at home needs to be revamped.
This price 22-26Lacs is on very higher side. Nexon has announced a huge discount on EV. ideally Creta range should be between 14-18 Lacs, as Range is also poor.
@ After so many EVs in market, if you are still thinking EVs can be a primary car, then you are doing a big mistake. BYDs with more than 500km real range can be a primary car. Other than range, there are many issues. - Overnight charging is not reliable. - Fast charger is not cost effective. - Charging infrastructure is not maintained, for long drives, you can’t rely on the charger shown on the APPs. - In emergency, if your EV is not charged properly, then you can’t charge immediately. My close colleague bought Nexon EV as primary car, after few months he had to buy a petrol car. EVs are NOT primary cars. It’s a strong statement. But I have arrived at this conclusion after many months of research.
Where is the battery warranty

Prices for Creta EV should Range between 17 to 22 lk
Yes lower than that will affect sales of Creta ICE.
Nice video
The Windsor EV would make more sense as prices of these new EVs are announced.
With less than 300 kms range it doesn't make sense as a primary car.

Disappointing battery size. Price is also higher side .
It should be priced between 15-22 lakhs otherwise no one will buy
Price are so high... don't baying Indian's are this price...
On road price along with battery kWh capacity will decide EV cars fate and would be compared with Windsor EV as the standard parameter.
Windsor EV with 38 kwh battery can not be termed as standard parameter, moreover it is more like MPV while others are SUV and SUV-coupe type vehicles.
