The future of automotive engineering lies in electric vehicles (EV). Auto experts are speculating that in the coming decade, there will be a mass transition from fossil-fuel based automobiles to electric cars, thanks to the considerable price drop and consciousness about the environment. Moreover, these cars have a low maintenance cost, safer to drive, and durable. Since the centre of gravity of EVs is lower than conventional automobiles, there are minimal chances of catching fire and explosion. Let us have a look at the top 10 electric vehicles in India.
