Excellent interview Birla sir. All our doubts and clarifications on EV enlightened in a nice way. Mr. Mahesh sir is having all the important information in finger touch. Thanks for him in giving positive note about EV in his final words. Thanks to Birla and Mahesh sir.
First Indian I saw who indicate the driver he is overtaking 6:56 , I appreciate when Indians doing that. Mostly they are driving without flowing lane principle, in 2009 one of my classmates in Chennai who bought a brand new bike and first thing he did in the showroom 'removed the side mirrors', sadly he died in accident within a year
Review என்றால் இப்படி இருக்க வேண்டும். உபயோகப்படுத்துகிறார் என review செய்யாமல், அந்த பொருளின் தன்மையை முழுவதும் அறிந்த, அதற்கு நிகரான அடுத்த பொருளையும் உபயோகப்படுத்தி அதன் தன்மையும் முழுவதும் அறிந்த உபயோகப்பவரின் reviewவே சரியானதாக இருக்கும்.
only issue is if someone is charging at a station for an hour,.the other person has to wait and charge for maybe a hour, which is not good and can occur if many people get ev. I just got a petrol one, i guess my next one will be ev in maybe 5-8 years, if infra and tech improves. Thanks for genuine user review.
Super 👌👌👌 Master. If the Price Drops down there is a chance to buy EV Cars as an additional car or a city use car. Otherwise No way, only Few people will buy. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 Master 🤓🤓🤓.
Truly said but looks like ICE manufacturers won’t let EV price reduce otherwise how will they sell their “cheaper” ICE cars. Price of EV vehicles are deliberately kept higher so it doesn’t impact their ICE vehicle sales.
Price drop panratha vida, facility panrathu thaan correct solution. Otherwise roads will get crowded with too many vehicles. Most importantly most of the common people should start to use public transport. Govt should ensure that public transport facility is available to all nook and corner. And those public transport vehicles need to be converted to EV. Own vehicle ottanumna adhu last optiona thaan makkalukku irukkanum.
26 lakhs car cost; even if you buy i20 diesel and drive it for 2 lakhs km, you still spend 22 lakhs, plus you will get a resale value (say approx 30℅)...which is not so with EV; you will have to replace battery after 2 lakhs kms and there is no guarantee that motor will be in good condition after 2 lakhs kms, as of EV is not a wise choice, when the cost of EV equals with diesel car, only then we should purchase, that too as a back up vehicle and only for city use..
The most interesting review regard EV vehicle. Appreciable on valuable questions from Mr. Birla and awesome knowledge sharing about vehicle from Mr. Mahesh
In this review of EV car,yours doubtous questions and answers to those questions by Mr Mahesh were really very gentle, interesting ,cleared most of doubts (logically).Salutes to man of gentleness Mr Mahesh 🙏💐.
Mahesh Anna you are awesome, I think Birla bro itself didn't expect this much of information. The showroom persons will never give such valuable calculations. I got all from you.. Thank you both.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌👌
It's a good review and very much needed one. I too suggest EV are future and everyone to adapt for the future EV. As I'm an EV vehicle system design engineer, I much suggest everyone to get the feel and adopt for EV vehicle. It's very economical and user friendly... we save lots of money in the running cost..
Correction: 5:41 Not per kW, it's per kWh Watt = Power Watt * hour = Energy Energy = Power * time Ex: 1 kW Air conditioner consumes 1 kWh or 1 Unit of electricity, if it runs for 1 hour
13 lakhs ku luxury petrol car kedaikum bothu 25 lakhs ku kona edukum bothu kedaikura savings onnum perusa therla. Nexon is 15L only and also so spacious. Nexon is moving very well now. Govt town busses ah EV la kodukka aarambikkanum. Railway and airport taxis EV la procure pannalam. Schools EV bus use pannalam.
Kona comes with a price tag of 24 lakhs and battery replacement would cost 9 lakhs. Sir would it be a prudent decision to go for it. It was pretty obvious sir that you had your own reservations about the ev and wisely stopped short of recommending it right away.the review was great and very informative.
@rathina eswari, It's a common myth that one needs to replace the EV battery after 8 years. There are substantial, long term data of EV battery available now, mostly from the pioneer Tesla who has more than 10 years data, and probably a billion km done by all its vehicles all over the planet(they get real time metrics as all their cars are connected to their servers all the time). Their cars retain about 85% capacity even after 8 years. EV battery is not a single unit, but made of 1000s of cells. You need to change only the dead cells, if need be.
Very nicely done from both sides good info owner is very clear in the technicals and commercials . Easy to understand in layman language keep going such quality videos . A youtuber who knows what he speaks and gives content useful to people.....
Mr Birla, most reviews you do driving the car. Thanks to consider to have the vehicle in stationary condition during discussion with owner... Otherwise, your reviews stand apart, kudos!
Such a nice interview from both of u!! Appreciate ur efforts in presenting neatly, this will open up more potential EV buyers during this transition time. One small question from my side, Is Wheel alignment and balancing applicable for ev cars?
Yes. It is a must for all cars for prolonging tyre life and stability of car. Need to perform tyre rotation also along with wheel alignment and balancing every 5000km
*🇮🇳💟 Useful information about Electric Vehicle for those who intend to buy. Another 5 years it will take for a common man to change over to EV if the price is 10 to 15 Lacs.!💐👍*
Hold responsibility for all your decision taken in your life, don't blame anyone for things happening in your life, keep a mindset, whatever happens in life is because of my past or present decision made by us. In this way you will be more cautious on taking any future decision in life. Take decisions that benefits both you and society. 😃 Have a nice day 😊
Vera level sir. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information . This enlightens about the EV knowledge and your questions are very clear and mr. Mahesh also answered in professional way. Kudos to you sir. Keep doing . All the best .
Thank you so much. Even the sunshade on the rear window is to ensure I can hide from the glare of the high beams which some inconsiderate drivers use when coming behind us. The auto dimming feature of this car is quite good however the high beams are even better so I have to put sunshades on rear windscreen 🤣🤣🤣
We should see the cost benefit analysis. How much we spend as against the Petrol/ Diesel vehicle and expected savings. If someone drives less than 10k kms in a year then it's not worth..🙏
Very nice review. Initially we pay extra cost for buying the vehicle. Then additional amount need to be spent for replacing the battery. All these needs to be considered when EV vehicles are compared with the routine ones. Moreover all trips cannot be plant so meticulously. Is my opinion has EV vehicle has had a long way to go.
All this meticulous planning will be done away with in two years. When I bought my car there were hardly any charging stations on the map. Now you can easily travel the whole of west coast easily. Even Chennai Bangalore seemed impossible when I bought my EV. Now there are 3 points to charge at a distance of 120km each. We are progressing. Actually the misconception is that you need to change the battery after 8 years. Let’s take this example, initially your mobile battery lasts 20 hours when new. But after 4 years your battery degrades and you get only 10 hours of usage. Are you going to spend 1500 and change battery? No, isn’t it? Now, for 50% degradation you are not changing battery for mobile. EV batteries degrade 20% in 8 years. It also depends on how you charge your vehicle. 20% degradation means 39kw gets reduced to 31kw. Which means 64km (8kw x 8km) reduction in range which makes the effective range to be 280km approx (350km - 64km). Isn’t 280km of range enough after using the car for 8 years? Also in 8 years time there will be a lot of charging stations where we won’t even need a large battery pack. Points to ponder 😀
Sir ur reviews is good, but he is behaving like a born and bought up in foregin .so konjam scene ilama pesuna nala irukum ev bhommai car eduthutu ivlo scene koodathu... ithula oru oru hotel la.poi charge podanumama
We need to be careful on speed bumps. Very careful in fact. I have scraped a little bit on the speed bump but there’s no damage. The batteries are very well protected.
Great very good practical people's when i said about v indians need not bother about charger facilities out side on roads and wait for getting charging stations to go EVs v shall always charge in home r any other houses r road side shops, puntcher shops ,etc. Till government r pvt players do provide charging stations around our nation's r state's if v get EVs in larger numbers even houses will allow to charge through out country only v have to carry charger with required access points plugs
It's one of best EV reviews with owners point of view. Thanks to both for this initiative. Hope we have more and more EV reviews coming up. Thanks Brila Anna
Now he is getting almost 300km per full charge after 2 years how much he will get for the same ? If its same like mobile then you will get half percentage only 😔
Because of its large size, the EV battery is only being stressed moderately, even during acceleration. In comparison, the mobile phone draws continuous high current from a small battery when transmitting and crunching data. This puts more stress on a mobile phone battery than driving an EV.
For the first time, both BLUESATTAI's talked sensibly in RU-vid(unlike Blue Sattai Maaran). Good Review Sir and Many Thanks to the owner as well for sharing his knowledge. Good Shots on the go as well!
After 160000 or after the warranty is over, battery replacement costs 8-9 lakhs, it means, there is no resale value after 160000 kms, nobody will buy the EV for resale and spend 8-9 lakhs for battery replacement cost along with vehicle purchase cost...
Wow..... You are so lovely in sharing your knowledge. I am glad that i found your videos. I really need to mention that your voice tone is so soothing and very decent. By the way i am from Telangana and a non Tamilian, but I can say this "Romba nandri"
I am impressed with the question Sir. But I have a question? To make battery for a car, how much litres of water is being spent. 2)At very emergency situations means only source is EV vehicle , need to travel continuously and I don’t have time to wait for not more than 5min at that time any alternative idea.
