Do not buy EV car's in India!


Why the Rush to Avoid EVs in India? Let's Break It Down
____________________________________________
I get the frustration—headlines about EV hype clashing with real-world headaches in India can make anyone swear off them. As of late 2025, EV adoption is growing (around 7-8% of new car sales, up from under 3% a couple years ago), but it's no revolution yet. The government's pushing hard for 30% penetration by 2030 with subsidies like PM E-Drive, but critics aren't wrong: infrastructure lags, costs bite, and it's not plug-and-play for everyone. That said, "don't buy" isn't a blanket rule—it's situational. Here's a balanced look based on current data, surveys, and user feedback.
Key Cons: The Real Pain Points
These are the big reasons people (and posts on X) echo your sentiment. From a 2024 Deloitte survey and recent LocalCircles polls, ~39% of Indians cite charging woes as the top deterrent, with 32% pointing to high upfront prices.

Why It Hurts in India
Charging Infrastructure
Only ~15,500 public stations for 2.8 million EVs (as of mid-2025), mostly in metros like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai. Highways have gaps every 25-50 km in spots, but rural/tier-2 areas? Forget it. Home charging? 60-70% live in apartments without dedicated spots or society approvals.
Range anxiety is real—real-world range drops 20-30% in traffic/AC use. X users rant about "emergency blackouts leaving EVcars stranded" or "cables from 11th-floor flats getting snipped."f22642 Public fast-charging costs ~₹15-20/kWh, rivaling diesel.
High Upfront Cost
Entry-level EVs like MG Comet start at ₹7-8 lakh, but popular ones (Tata Nexon EV) hit ₹14-18 lakh—20-30% pricier than petrol equivalents. Battery = 50-60% of cost, often imported.
Middle-class squeeze: Even with ₹1-1.5 lakh FAME subsidies, it's a big leap. Resale? EVs depreciate 30-40% in 3 years due to battery fears—no robust used market yet.e41477
Battery & Maintenance Risks
Batteries degrade 1-2% yearly, dropping range (e.g., 400 km claimed → 300 km real after 5 years). Replacement? ₹5-10 lakh post-8-year warranty. Rare fires (lithium-ion risks) make headlines.
Service networks are Tata/MG-heavy (75% market share), but X feedback calls them "unreliable vs. international brands."7c32c1 Coal-heavy grid (60% power) means EVs aren't "zero-emission"—they cut CO2 by ~50% vs. petrol but not fully green.43cf9c
Limited Choices & Practicality
Only 46 models qualify for PLI incentives; 87% rely on Chinese batteries/semiconductors, delaying localization. No fun for highways—30-60 min fast-charge vs. 5-min refuel.
X threads highlight "Tesla's flop (just 600 orders since July 2025) due to zero infra."6b11a0 CNG/hybrids feel more "future-proof" amid ethanol-blend chaos (E20 harming older engines).d25098
Policy Flip-Flops
Subsidies end by 2030; taxes may rise. EVs "subsidized by petrol/diesel sales," per critics.
Feels like a "scam"—govt bans old diesels but eases CAFE norms for ICE cars on lobby pressure.8de81c
Bottom line: If you're in a tier-2 city, do 500+ km trips often, or rent parking, EVcars🚘scream "wait 3-5 years." X consensus? "Guinea pig status" for early adopters.1ef7a8
But Wait—Some Actual Pros (For the Right Buyer)
It's not all doom. 92% of owners say they'd never go back to ICE, per a 2024 survey.19623a EVs shine for urban commuters.

Why It Works in India
Running Costs
₹1-2/km vs. ₹5-7/km for petrol. Home charging = ₹200-300/full (like 2-3 petrol fills).
Savings kick in after 2-3 years (₹50k-1 lakh/year for 15k km). No oil changes/gears = simpler drives.
Performance & Perks
Instant torque (0-100 km/h in 8-10s), silent rides, lower insurance (5-10% discounts).
Tax breaks: 5% GST vs. 28% on ICE; road tax waivers in states like Delhi. Eco-win: Cuts urban PM2.5 by 50%.3de8f4
Improving Ecosystem
2025 launches (Maruti eVitara, Kia EV5) + BaaS (battery-as-rental, e.g., MG's ₹3-4/km) lower entry barriers. Solar home setups subsidized.
Metro growth: Delhi has 1 charger/3 km. Hybrids as bridge (Toyota/Honda pushing strong).
Long-Term Play
8-year battery warranties; resale stabilizing as infra builds.
If green matters, EVs offset costs via lower emissions vs. ICE (even with coal grid).bd77d4
My Take: Buy Smart, Not Blind
Your warning's spot-on for most
