Tesla India refunds early bookers of Model 3

Tesla has begun refunding the deposit to those consumers who booked the Tesla Model 3 electric sedan a few years back in India. This action follows the US-based electric vehicle maker's decision to phase out the earlier generation Tesla Model 3 and initiate sales of the new generation electric vehicle. In addition to refunding the deposit for early reservations of the electric vehicle, this action suggests the brand's forthcoming entry into the Indian market, which is likely among the most anticipated events in the country's automobile sector. According to Bloomberg, Tesla has commenced refunding the booking amount to consumers who made reservations for the Tesla Model 3 years ago. The electric vehicle manufacturer has begun emailing specific consumers who placed orders as far back as 2016.

MG Windsor EV could get a long-range variant with a bigger battery

The MG Windsor EV has received a remarkably favorable reception from consumers since its debut in India. Currently equipped with a 38 kWh battery pack, the MG Windsor EV is poised to receive a larger battery pack, a 50. 6 kWh unit, which will offer a greater range on a complete charge compared to the existing model. The long-range edition of the Windsor EV is expected to be launched in India sometime next month and will start arriving at MG shortly thereafter. The updated version of the MG Windsor EV will maintain the same dimensional measurements of the electric vehicle. However, it may feature new alloy wheels. The only significant enhancement to the EV will be the larger battery pack. The long-range variant of the MG Windsor EV will utilize a 50. 6 kWh battery pack, which will provide a range of 460 kilometers on a full charge, comparable to the MG ZS EV.

Electric vehicles can help India save ₹9. 17 lakh crore on its oil import bill

A complete transition from older fossil fuel-dependent vehicles to electric vehicles in 44 cities with populations of at least 10 lakh could enable India to save $106. 6 billion on its oil import expenses, which amounts to ₹9. 17 lakh crore in Indian currency based on the current exchange rate. Through this shift, India could prevent 11. 5 tonnes of PM2. 5 emissions daily by 2035 and decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 61 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. The study from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) also indicated that this transition would conserve over 51 billion liters of petrol and diesel. The study pointed out that the number of older vehicles in these 44 cities across India could rise from 49 lakh in 2024 to 75 lakh by 2030.
