Eco-Friendly Ganesh Chaturthi: Top 5 EVs Under Rs 25 Lakh For The Festive Road Trip
Ganesh Chaturthi is nearly here, and the highways are calling you to welcome the Ganpati with the rest of the extended family at your family's hometown.
For anyone planning a single‑charge dash home to welcome the Ganpati home, these 5 electric cars on sale in India offer a single-charge range of at least 500km, enough to get you home for the festival and with prices starting under 25 lakh (ex-showroom).
1) Tata Curvv EV (55kWh)
The 55kWh version of the Tata Curvv is the most affordable of the SUVs on this list, with a starting price tag of Rs 17.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Tata claims that this version of the Curvv EV SUv coupe will deliver a range of 502km on a single charge, which is plenty for a sprint back home plus unplanned detours.
2) Mahindra BE 6
The Mahindra BE6 is offered with two battery choices -59kWh and 79kWh - that deliver claimed figures of 557km and 683km on a single drive, which should translate to at least 450km in the real world (for the smaller pack). The larger battery pack should offer a little over 520km on a single charge.
The Mahindra BE6 is probably the coolest-looking EV on this list and offers up to 282bhp on tap. Prices for the all-electric BE 6 coupe-SUV start at Rs 18.9 lakh (ex-showroom).
3) Mahindra XEV 9e
The XEV 9e is the more luxurious and calmer cousin of the sporty BE 6 and it offers a range of 542km (59kWh) to 656km (79kWh) on a single charge and the same 281bhp, 380Nm single motor setup as the BE 6.
The XEV 9e is a comfortable place to be and it shrugs off inter‑city runs, making it perfect for the overnight drive home and the return leg. Prices for the Mahindra XEV 9e start at Rs 21.9 lakh (ex-showroom).
4) Tata Harrier EV
With a claimed range of up to 538km for the smaller 65kWh battery pack and 627km for the larger 75kWh unit, and with up to 400PS of power on tap, the Tata Harrier EV is perhaps the most capable car on this list when it comes to an overall driving package. Prices for the Tata Harrier EV start at Rs 21.49 lakh.
5) BYD Atto 3
With a claimed range of 521km from its 60kWh battery pack, the Atto 3 has the legs for the festival run and just over 200bhp on tap to ensure that the drive to welcome the Ganpati home is a fun one as well. Prices for the BYD Atto 3 start at Rs 24.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
Buying for the festive run? A few friendly reminders:
- Pick the proper variant: Pick the one that actually quotes 500km+: trims differ
- Plan a 20% buffer: AC, traffic, and detours nibble at range - arrive with something in hand.
- Tyre pressures matter: top up before you roll; extra passengers and sweets add weight.
- Pre‑condition while plugged in: you'll start with a happy battery and a cool cabin.
