Buying an Electric Car? 5 Key Things to Consider for a Worry-Free Ride

• Assess your daily mileage and choose an EV with an appropriate range; consider real-world range which can be 20-30% less than ARAI figures.
• Verify the battery warranty, typically 8 years or 1.6 lakh kilometers, and check battery health for used EVs.
• Ensure access to charging infrastructure, including home chargers, office charging points, and fast DC chargers on your routes.
• Factor in the total budget, including ex-showroom price, registration, insurance, home charger installation, and potential state subsidies.
• Prioritize features like ADAS, fast charging support, ample boot space, and a 5-star safety rating, and always take a test drive.
