My daily running is 300 km. I want to know if shifting to an EV is a good idea or if I should continue with an ICE vehicle.

Asked by: aditya Chandraka
You have a very high daily running, thus, going purely by running cost, shifting to an EV would make sense. However, you would have to ensure you get a model that offers a good range. Cars like the MG Comet and the Tata Punch EV would not provide you with a comfortable enough driving range for your daily running.
You would have to look at the Tata Nexon EV, which would just about suffice. Thus, you would have to spend more to ensure you have a model with a range sufficient to ensure you do not have to stop to charge in the middle of the day.
So if your budget does not permit, stick with an ICE car and look for something efficient like the Maruti Suzuki Swift or look for a CNG car if pumps are available in your area.

Hi, I’m planning to buy my first car, which I won’t be driving regularly. My budget is under ₹14 lakh on-road. I’m looking for a fun-to-drive car and don’t need it to be family-focused. I’m open to both manual and automatic transmissions, whichever is more engaging to drive and fun.

The Skoda Kylaq will be the perfect choice for your requirements. It has a punchy 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and is available in both a manual gearbox and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.The Kylaq has compact dimensions and has a well-balanced chassis that makes the car great fun to drive. The handling is particularly impressive, and it has a good build too. The Prestige variant in manual guise will fit in your budget, while the Signature+ AT variant works if you prefer the automatic.

I’m looking to buy a motorcycle with strong low-end torque. Which would be better among the Goan Classic 350, CB350, Harley-Davidson X440 T, and Royal Enfield Scram 440? My usage will mostly be in the city, with rare long rides, and I’m not concerned about top speed.

For city use among the bikes you're looking at, the top two would be the Royal Enfield Scram 440 and Harley-Davidson X440 T. These bikes have large, long-stroke, single-cylinder engines, which will have the edge over the smaller 350s you're looking at. However, if most of your usage is inside the city, we'd recommend sticking with the 350cc roadsters from either Royal Enfield - Hunter/ Classic / Bullet - or Honda - in the form of its CB350 trio. These bikes will have more than enough grunt for city traffic and will also return more fuel economy. Take a test ride of these to see which one suits you best.
