In an epic electric car challenge we are attempting to drive to Sandakphu, on East India's highest road, in the all-electric Mahindra XUV400. Our starting point is Maneybhanjang, 6325 feet above sea level. From there we climb 5605 feet in just 31km to reach Sandakphu. This is a proper 4x4 country, but can also electric car tackle the steep slopes, rutted tracks and brutal weather? It's the first time an EV is attempting this feat, to get to the only place on earth where you can see four of the highest peaks in the world - Everest, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga and Makalu. Editor Sirish Chandran is behind the wheel of the Mahindra XUV400 but can he make it to the top? Challenge accepted!
Special thanks to Lion Charge for setting up Darjeeling's first electric vehicle charger, and helping us attempt this feat!
