      Tata Nexon EV May Get BaaS Option – MG Windsor Effect

      by

      Tata Nexon EVTata Motors’ BaaS (Battery as a Service) model will allow Nexon EV, Punch EV, Tiago EV, Tigor EV and Curvv EV to quote lower Ex-sh prices
      Today, there are more electric cars to choose from, than there were a couple of years ago. Also, there are more purchasing options today, further accelerating EV adoption. Appealing to buyers more, is the new BaaS programs introduced by MG Motor, quoting significantly lower upfront Ex-sh prices.
      In a bid to retain its market share in electric car segment and offer significantly lower Ex-sh prices, Tata Motors is reportedly working to introduce BaaS model with their electric lineup. When launched, Tata’s BaaS program might be available with Nexon EV, Punch EV, Tiago EV, Tigor EV and the recently launched Curvv EV.
      New Tata Curvv EV – Voyager Aamir
      Tata Nexon EV BaaS
      India’s leading electric car manufacturer, Tata Motors, leads the segment with around 65% market share. But there is a considerable 14.57% drop in sales YoY in August 2024. The company is now reportedly considering launching BaaS programs of its own to quote significantly lower Ex-sh prices. Launch timeline is still unknown.
      JSW MG Motor India was the first to launch BaaS (Battery as a Service) program in India. Starting with Windsor EV, JSW MG Motor India has redefined electric vehicle pricing and then extended their BaaS model to include Comet EV and ZS EV. Customer reception seems to be very positive towards BaaS concept as MG Windsor EV bagged more than 15K bookings on the first day.
      Tata Punch EV – Car Marvel
      By offering battery rental service, MG quoted significantly lower Ex-sh prices than typical EVs where battery was included in the package as part of the ownership. Mahindra took notice of this and is offering BaaS model with their newly launched Zeo commercial 4W pickup truck. Notably, Mahindra has not announced BaaS model on XUV400, their electric offering in PV segment.
      As of now, Tata’s electric portfolio starts from Rs 7.99 lakh (Ex-sh) for Tiago EV, Rs 9.99 lakh (Ex-sh) for Punch EV, Rs 12.49 lakh (Ex-sh) for Nexon EV and Tigor EV and Rs 17.49 lakh (Ex-sh) for Curvv EV. We hope Tata reduces upfront Ex-sh prices by around 25% to 30% and quotes battery rental of Rs 2.5 to Rs 3.5 per km covered.
      2024 Tata Tiago EV
      How will BaaS help?
      If there is around 30% reduction in Ex-sh prices with BaaS as per the report, we can expect Tiago EV to start at around Rs 5.6 lakh (Ex-sh + Rental), Punch EV from Rs 7 lakh (Ex-sh + Rental), Tigor EV and Nexon EV from Rs 8.75 lakh (Ex-sh + Rental) and Curvv EV from Rs 12.25 lakh (Ex-sh + Rental).
      If we take MG Windsor EV with BaaS and Tata Curvv EV without BaaS, there is a Rs 7.5 lakh difference in upfront Ex-sh price with base variants. With the Rs 7.5 lakh saved, a Windsor EV buyer can drive 2,14,285 km paying Rs 3.5 per km battery rental charge to MG. Considering that majority of EV buyers probably need more than 10 years to clock that mileage, the lower upfront cost facilitated by BaaS model is very impressive.

      Ola Electric Faces Show Cause Notice Amid Consumer Complaints Surge

      by

      Ola Electric Scooter outside a service outletThe Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has issued a show cause notice to Ola Electric after a significant increase in consumer complaints regarding its e-scooters
      The notice, dated October 3, flags potential violations of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, citing service deficiencies, misleading advertisements, unfair trade practices, and consumer rights violations. Ola Electric has been directed to respond within 15 days.
      Over 10,000 Complaints Lodged Against Ola Electric
      The National Consumer Helpline (NCH) registered 10,644 complaints between September 1, 2023, and August 30, 2024. Service delays for e-scooters accounted for 3,389 of these complaints, while 1,899 consumers reported delayed vehicle deliveries. Another 1,459 complaints involved unfulfilled service promises. Additional issues included manufacturing defects, improper refunds, recurring defects, and battery-related malfunctions.

      Ola Electric Stock Takes a Hit
      On Monday, Ola Electric’s stock dropped nearly 9%, reaching an intra-day low of Rs 90.26. The company’s shares, which debuted on August 9, have since fallen 74% from their peak of Rs 157.40. In Q1 FY25, Ola Electric reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 347 crore, despite a 32.3% year-on-year revenue growth. The company raised Rs 6,154 crore through its IPO, which had initially seen strong investor interest with a 4.27 times subscription rate.

      Twitter Users Voice Frustration Over Delayed Action
      The news of the CCPA’s show cause notice prompted strong reactions on social media. One Twitter user expressed frustration over the delayed response from consumer authorities, writing, “Don’t know why National Consumer Helpline has to wait for 10k+ complaints to act. When will they learn to be proactive n give some value and respect to the Indian consumer? It’s because of the lackadaisical attitude of these offices that corporates feel emboldened to sideline consumers.”
      Bhavish Aggarwal’s Social Media Spat Sparks Backlash
      This notice comes a day after Ola Electric CEO Bhavish Aggarwal’s feud with comedian Kunal Kamra on Sunday. Kamra posted a picture of Ola scooters gathering dust outside a dealership, which prompted Aggarwal to accuse him of being paid to criticize the company.
      The argument escalated on X (formerly Twitter), where Aggarwal deflected criticism of the company’s service issues and invited Kamra to work at an Ola service center. Aggarwal’s failure to acknowledge the rising consumer complaints added fuel to the online backlash, especially in light of reports that Ola Electric is receiving up to 80,000 complaints per month.

      Public Spat – Shares Go Ola, Bye-Bye. But Big on Hokum

      by

      It starts with a tweet. And you respond. While engagement generated by a public spat may be appealing to some, the lack of accountability in these interactions is evident. Especially if its unfunny. Some believe they are above critique and could respond in ways that reflect a need to control the narrative. Defensiveness and confrontation take precedence over accountability and transparency.
      This dynamic is a key problem in today’s social media landscape: the tendency to prioritise personal standpoint over meaningful, solution-oriented conversations. A simple response would have been

      Ola Electric Stock Drop: Not an Enjoyable Ride
      In other news today, Ola Electric share price fell below Rs 90. At Rs 89.55, its shouldering a 8.38 percent drop. FADA reports Ola Electric’s 2024 September sales at 24,679 units.
      While common, certain lines of argument are a problematic dynamic in public discourse, particularly on social media. Especially when confrontational tones and personal attacks often overshadow constructive conversation. Why is it such a common phenomenon?
      Ola Electric Share market – October 7, 2024.
      Social Media: Where Politeness Goes to Die
      When a company or individual is publicly criticised, most likely the tweet will be ignored, or there will be an automated robotic response about how they’re looking into the prob and customer care will contact them. But that pattern is likely to change if a tweet is from a known/popular entity. There could be great drama if you’re not nameless/faceless. An urge to defend oneself in the face of public criticism could be innate. So instead of even an iota of meaningful dialogue, one could deflect criticism with personal jabs. This behaviour could be from feeling personally attacked, even when the criticism was directed at the company, not the individual. Concurrently, a large audience gets sucked into it.
      Is it difficult for CEOs or company leaders to separate themselves from their companies because their identity is often deeply intertwined with the brand they represent? Does criticism of the company feel like a direct attack on their personal competence, leadership, or vision? Does negative feedback trigger a need to protect not just the company’s reputation, but their own?
      Brand reputation management – Choosing Silence

      Do indian consumers have a voice? Do they deserve this?

      — Kunal Kamra (@kunalkamra88) October 6, 2024

      On platforms like Twitter, exchanges tend to escalate quickly, as scrutiny and audience engagement create a high-drama environment. Aggressive responses often receive attention. It’s engagement farming without even having to try. When public figures engage in a public spat, especially on social media, it draws attention, increases engagement, and fuels conversations, even if the content itself is disparaging. A spectacle. Such responses, however unprofessional or personal, are likely to trigger strong reactions, be it support from loyalists or outrage from critics, which, in turn, increases visibility and keeps the brand in the public eye. The more attention one can draw, the more “buzz” one creates, regardless of whether it’s positive or negative.
      A Code of Conduct outlines expected standards of behaviour as per company’s values and ethical standards. It’s even simpler to do as The Beatles sang, “Let It Be”, and choose not to respond to a tweet, as many have done countless times. More

      2025 Kia Sonet Electric SUV Spied First Time – Nexon EV Rival

      by

      2025 Kia Sonet Electric SUVWhile battery and motor specs are not known yet, 2025 Kia Sonet electric SUV might promise around 450 km of range from a single charge
      Developing electric versions of existing models has proven to be a successful strategy for automakers. Tata Motors has been leading the charge in this area for some time, and now other manufacturers are following suit. Kia India appears to be the latest to adopt this approach, as indicated by the first-ever spy shots of a Sonet EV test mule.
      2025 Kia Sonet Electric
      Sonet has been a very popular offering in the sub 4m SUV segment. It is currently powered by either Petrol or Diesel engines. For the first time, a Kia Sonet test mule has been spied on ahead of its official launch in 2025.
      2025 Kia Sonet EV Front
      For starters, this particular test mule is fully camouflaged and was spied with additional structural camouflage at the rear too. We could not spot any visible tailpipe on this test mule, suggesting that it might be a fully electric vehicle that is based on ICE version of Sonet. Launch likely to happen in 2025.
      We did not see any major change in design, which is logical as it keeps costs down as there are more shared parts between EV and ICE versions. Even the alloy wheels looked like they were the same 16-inch units, offered with ICE Sonet.
      2025 Kia Sonet EV Rear
      At the rear, this test mule suggested that it has the same connected LED tail light signature as ICE Sonet. There might be an EV-specific rear bumper to establish some design distinctions. The new spy shots showed upcoming Sonet EV’s right side and rear section. We couldn’t spot any charging ports, suggesting it may be present where ICE Sonet has its fuel filler.
      2025 Kia Sonet EV Side
      At the front, Kia Sonet EV seems to be carrying over the lighting elements, which is understandable too. Attributes like front parking sensors and 360-degree cameras are expected to carry over too. Other than that, we can see roof rails along with other elements similar to ICE Sonet.
      2025 Kia Sonet EV Side
      What to expect?
      On the inside, we can expect Sonet EV to carry over a lot of elements from Sonet ICE. Like the dual 10.2-inch displays supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bose premium speakers, electrically adjustable driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, a single-pane sunroof, auto climate control with rear AC vents, air purifier and Level-1 ADAS among others.
      2025 Kia Sonet EV Side
      Feature add-ons might include an electric parking brake, adjustable regenerative braking and all-four disc brakes as standard, among others. Battery specs are not known as of now, but around 45 kWh pack with 450 km of claimed range sounds feasible. There will be a single motor driving front wheels and the possibility of a frunk (front trunk) is less.

      2025 Mahindra XUV Electric SUV (e9 and BE05) Spied Undisguised During TVC Shoot

      by

      2025 Mahindra BE05 Electric SUVMahindra is getting ready to launch a range of new Electric SUVs in India and for the global market
      Expanding the horizon of its electric vehicle portfolio, Mahindra Auto has been taking great strides. In 2022, the company showcased five of its upcoming born-electric electric cars. Of these, BE.05 and XUV.e9 seem to be closing production and a grand global debut might be away as suggested by the recent spy shots.
      Mahindra BE.05 And XUV.e9 Spied Undisguised
      These spy shots show Mahindra BE.05 and XUV.e9 during what seems like TVC shoots somewhere outside India. These units were fully undisguised and showed their exterior design elements in fully production-spec form. We should expect a TVC soon and before that, let’s take a look at what the spy shots show.
      2025 Mahindra XUV e9 Electric SUV
      With global aspirations, Mahindra Auto has carved out a range of stunning electric SUVs that should launch sometime next year. Based on their born-electric INGLO platform, Mahindra is eyeing to dominate the Indian electric SUV market and then expand their EV production expertise to include global markets as well.
      2025 Mahindra BE05 Electric SUV
      Squared-off wheel arches with chunky wheel claddings along with side body claddings are both finished in a gloss black. Wheels look like they are around 19-inchers in size. Design is of a 5-spoke type, but there are aerodynamic patterns, looking very futuristic. The fixed glass roof ends in a split spoiler design and a similar effect is mimicked on the rear bumper too.
      2025 Mahindra BE05 Electric SUV
      Front door gets flush pop-out door handles. LED tail lights are connected in design and have a massive signature. At the front, we can see a massive C-shaped LED DRL signature with an illuminated BE logo. Front also has an open grill that channels air through its bonnet, which is a neat touch.
      2025 Mahindra BE05 Electric SUV
      Where XUV.e9 is concerned, we can see two shades of it in the spy shot. One in a Golden colour and the other in a ravishing Red. It boasts a massive fascia with a closed-off grill, vertically laid-out headlights, and connecting LED DRLs. Pop-out front door handles and large aerodynamic wheels are notable elements.
      2025 Mahindra BE05 Electric SUV
      What do they get on the inside?
      On the inside, Mahindra is giving BE.05 cockpit-like feel with a pronounced split in the middle. Other notable elements include a floating centre console and dual 10.25-inch screens, a new steering wheel with an illuminated logo, a large HUD and more. XUV.e9, on the other hand, one-ups BE.05 with a triple screen layout, but lacks the cockpit-like feel.
      2025 Mahindra BE05 Electric SUV
      Powertrain details are not known yet. However, speculations suggest BE.05 and XUV.e9 could get battery packs between 60 kWh and 80 kWh, mated to either a single-motor RWD or dual-motor AWD setups. As of now, Mahindra is active in a few global markets selling vehicles like Pik-Up range, Scorpio N and XUV700. The upcoming XUV.e8 (XUV700 EV), XUV.e9 (XUV700 EV Coupe) and BE.05 are likely to join the list of exported cars from Mahindra.

      Kawasaki KLX 230 S Launch Date 17th Oct – Unofficial Bookings Open

      by

      Kawasaki KLX 230 S Launch Date AnnouncedWhen launched, Kawasaki KLX 230 S will primarily rival Hero Xpulse 200 4V and Yezdi Adventure along with upcoming Xpulse 210
      With the sense of adventure rising among Indians, lifestyle off-road vehicles have seen excellent reception. In motorcycles, ADVs are currently trending and are one of the hottest genres in India. Catering to this segment, Kawasaki is launching KLX 230 S in India soon and there is an official launch date revealed by the brand too.
      With a countdown of just 10 days, Kawasaki KLX 230 S launch date is set for October 17th. Unofficial bookings for the same seem to have commenced too. This off-road motorcycle will be locally assembled via the CKD route and is likely to be priced competitively as Hero Xpulse with similar ethos holds an excellent value-for-money proposition.
      Kawasaki KLX 230 S Launch Date
      With localisation, Kawasaki KLX 230 S is speculated to cost under Rs 2 lakh (Ex-sh). Owing to its simple powertrain and engine displacement, it will primarily compete with Hero Xpulse 200 4V and the upcoming Hero Xpulse 210 with Karizma XMR 210 engine, which has been spied testing on multiple occasions.
      Soon to launch KLX 230 S has been spied testing in India as well. Design-wise, it will be similar to the 2024 KLX 230 S sold globally. It has a typical ADV design, with a small headlight unit and a large beak below it that should protect crucial components while landing from a jump.
      Kawasaki KLX 230 S
      There’s a large 21-inch wire-spoke wheel at the front, lending a lot of attitude. A small fuel tank, minimal body panels, tall seat height, really long seat, up-swept exhaust with a beefy heat shield and a plastic tail section where bike’s rear registration plates are. Indian unit will come equipped with front registration plates and a saree guard.
      KLX 230 S is not a looker and it was not meant to be, either. This motorcycle is all about robust riding capabilities and off-roading prowess. Where componentry is concerned, the bike boasts 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, 240 mm front and 220 mm rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS along with dual-sport tyres.
      Performance
      Ground clearance is 239 mm, seat height is 843 mm and kerb weight could be around 140 kg for India-spec model. Kawasaki KLX 230 S is lighter than Xpulse 200 4V (159 kg Standard, 161 kg Pro). Thus boasting a higher power-to-weight ratio than Xpulse 200 4V and even the upcoming Xpulse 210 with more performance.
      Kawasaki KLX 230 S
      KLX 230 S is powered by a simple 233cc, 2V, air-cooled engine with around 20 bhp and 17 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox and complying with BS6 P2 emission standards. When launched on 17th October, it will be the 3rd localized Kawasaki product in India after Ninja 300 and W175. More

      2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Render – Himalayan 450, 390 Adventure Rival

      by

      2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV RenderIf launched, Triumph Tiger 400 ADV will take on reigning champion, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, along with KTM 390 Adventure
      The Bajaj-Triumph duo has been actively pursuing the premium 300cc to 500cc single cylinder motorcycle segment. ADV genre has emerged as an important one, with Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, captivating this market completely. What if the Bajaj-Triumph duo came up with a fitting rival based on the Speed 400 platform? We bring you a render of what it could look like.
      Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Rendered
      While Triumph has Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, there is no ADV-style motorcycle based on this platform. That is where this Triumph Tiger 400 ADV render created by Pratyush Rout comes into the light. Considering how popular the ADV and ADV-style motorcycle genre is becoming, launching one in India would prove to be a good bet for the Indian market.
      2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Render
      Our render consists of a stylish ADV motorcycle. This is something that can’t be said about typical ADVs sold in the segment. The main design inspiration for this render came from Triumph’s approach towards the Tiger Sport 660 based on the Trident 660 naked motorcycle. Obvious rivals include Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure.
      We took the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 design DNA and fused it with Triumph’s 400 platform. Going by Triumph’s design choices with Tiger Sport 660, our Tiger 400 render also gets a unique headlight, and tank design along with a rear subframe, when compared to a Speed 400.
      2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Render
      There is a semi-fairing on offer, that should significantly increase touring capabilities of Tiger Sport 400 render. The headlights and LED DRL signature are inspired by bigger Tiger motorcycles. Unlike the Tiger Sport 660, our Tiger 400 ADV render gets a front beak, which is a defining design trait of this segment.
      2025 Triumph Tiger 400 ADV Render
      Other notable attributes of this render include a tall functional windscreen, aggressive tank shrouds, a sportier lifted rear subframe that should allow comfortable ergonomics for pillion, round ORVMs and knuckle guards among others. There are interesting decals on side body panels and fuel tank, which should appeal to young buyers.
      Will it launch?
      We can’t say for sure that Triumph will launch an ADV-style motorcycle. Bajaj recently launched Speed T4, a more affordable version with missing features and less power. They are also testing new motorcycles based on the 400cc platform. While one is Thruxton 400, which is already spied testing, there is a good chance we could get the likes of Speedmaster 400 cruiser, Tiger 400 ADV, Daytona 400 fully-faired machine in the future..
      Our render is not only appealing, but it is feasible too. The componentry is retained from Scrambler 400X, with the same exhaust setup too. There are USD telescopic front forks, rear mono-shock setup, alloy wheels with block-pattern tyres, single disc brake setup at either ends and the likes. Powertrain is the same 398.15cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine with 39.5 bhp of peak power and 37.5 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. There can be a more off-road version of this motorcycle with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels and adjustable long travel suspension. More
