Hi, I am planning to buy an EV in the 15-17 lakh range. This will be my daily drive to the office, which is approximately 40-50 kms a day. I have driven the Nexon EV, Windsor EV, and the Curvv EV. I haven't driven the VF6 yet, as it is a little over my budget, but it seems a better car in terms of build quality and driving, as per reviews. Should I settle for one of the obvious or splurge a bit for the VinFast?

For a 40-50 km daily city run and a budget of Rs. 15-17 lakh, go with the Nexon EV 45kWh version in a mid trim. It suits your use and budget better than stretching for the Vinfast VF6. You’ll get more than enough range for the week with a healthy buffer; this Vinfast car is easy to drive and park, rides comfortably over bad patches. Also, Tata’s service reach is fairly wide. The Nexon EV has also proven to be a safe car.Do note, the Nexon EV’s cabin does not feel as premium as the VF6. But for office runs, traffic and the odd weekend trip, it works well.If you want a fresher shape and a bit more road presence from your shortlist, the Tata Curvv EV is worth a look.

Which is the best EV to buy under Rs 15 to Rs 16 lakh on-road in Bangalore? My running is about 10,000 to 11,000 km per year. Options include Curvv Accomplished 55, VinFast VF6, Nexon EV Fearless 45, eVitara Delta 49 kWh, and Windsor EV Exclusive Pro (which is slightly out of budget and has DC charging concerns). The most promising option seems to be the Curvv EV, considering its range, boot space, looks, Tata’s EV experience, and the ₹3 lakh discount currently offered. However, I am concerned whether Tata might discontinue it once the Sierra EV is launched. If not the Curvv EV, which one should I consider?

Choose the Tata Curvv EV 55kWh Accomplished. With the Rs 3 lakh discount you are getting, it falls within your budget while offering a good range, performance and features for the money.Your yearly 10-11k km translates to roughly 200-220km a week. In our testing, the Curvv EV 55kWh delivered a real-world range of just over 350km, which means one charge should easily last you a week. Performance is strong too, with immediate throttle response, and even Eco mode feels genuinely usable in city traffic. The 500-litre boot can swallow a fair amount of luggage, and there is also a small frunk under the bonnet. As for discontinuation, there are no confirmed plans even after the Sierra EV arrives.The one thing you give up compared to the Windsor is interior volume, especially in the back seat, where headroom can be a little tight for taller occupants. If you find the interior space insufficient, then stretching to the Windsor EV Pro would be worthwhile.On the test drive, monitor how much the battery depletes with your driving style, and cycle through all the regen levels to find what feels most natural.
