Electrification is slowly taking hold of the Indian automobile industry, and plenty of electric vehicles are making their way to our market.

In 2022, a lot of new EVs are slated to launch in India, in both the two-wheeler and passenger car space.

Here, we take a look at the seven most highly anticipated electric cars that are expected to launch in the Indian market next year, i.e., in 2022.

1. Tata Altroz EV

Tata Motors will finally launch the Altroz EV in 2022, after being showcased in a near-production form at the 2020 Auto Expo.

The hatchback is expected to offer a driving range of 300 km to 350 km on a single charge, and it will have a starting price of around Rs. 11 lakh, which would make it significantly more affordable than the Nexon EV (the most popular electric car in India currently).

7. Tesla Model 3/Model Y

Tesla is expected to enter the Indian car market in 2022, and its maiden offerings are expected to be Model 3 and Model Y. Currently, the manufacturer is considering the CBU import route, and is lobbying for reduced taxes on imported EVs. However, the government of India is pushing for local production instead. As per current speculations, Tesla cars will be priced upwards of Rs. 60 lakh in our country, although if tariffs are reduced, the prices will be significantly lower.
