As everyone reading this news might know that these electric cars also need a special subscription, Tata in August 2020 introduced a monthly subscription plan for its customers which was further made cheaper in September and December making the car more appealing to the Indian audience.
The major plus point of the Number 1 Selling EV car Nexon EV over its other competitors was its attractive pricing which was fairly low when compared to others. In this race was also the much-hyped Kona Electric which made a total sale of around 190 units till the end of the year 2020. The Hyundai Kona EV also made quite a bad impression on the audience with a news leak of risk of car caching fire.
