It is safe to say that the EV revolution has taken over in India. Despite the huge interest in EVs and penetration of EVs in the overall automobile industry, many still have not had their first EV experience. While buying a car, some things that bug a prospective car buyer are the EV charging scenario, how it feels to drive an EV in traffic, whether there’s enough space inside, worries about charging network density, and more.
Feeling curious about how an EV is different? Then schedule your first EV ride with zero cancellations from BluSmart.
What does an EV feel like?
Driving an electric vehicle (EV) offers a unique and distinct experience compared to traditional petrol or diesel cars. Here are some factors where an EV outshines the appeal of an ICE (internal combustion engine) car:
Better for city traffic
Electric motors provide instant torque, which translates into rapid acceleration. This means that EVs can accelerate quickly from a standstill, making merging into traffic or driving during rush hours easier.
Lower emissions
Driving an EV feels good not only because of its performance but also because of its environmental benefits. The reduced carbon footprint and lower emissions will help you make a positive impact every day.
Smooth handling
The battery packs in EVs are often positioned low in the chassis, which lowers the centre of gravity. This can result in improved handling and stability, giving the vehicle a more grounded and agile feel on the road.
EV charging experience
The charging network for EVs in India has now significantly increased. Many office buildings and malls are now integrating EV charging capabilities. In addition to that, you can also set up a whole EV charging station at your home itself.
What do you think? Seems tempting? Then why not schedule a BluSmart and get the complete EV experience?
The BluSmart EV experience
We also asked some of our driver-partners and riders for feedback on their BluSmart experience. Here’s what they had to say:
Rupesh, a rider who took his first BluSmart ride today, tells us, “I did not know what to expect of it, really. I got to know from my friends that BluSmart always provides cabs on time, and that was the main reason why I booked it. However, as soon as the cab started moving, the first thing that struck me was that it was extremely silent and had very good pick-up at the same time. I have had plenty of cab rides before where I could always hear the engines running in the background. Kudos to BluSmart for taking this green initiative.”
Anjali, who took a ride to IGI Airport late at night says, “I had to catch an early morning flight and that’s why I booked BluSmart, which is safer and reliable. I had a bit of extra luggage with me, which left me wondering if t would fill in the car. To my relief, the driver partner informed me that there was enough space in the back of the car and I could fit in all my luggage easily. He also told me that this was only possible because it was an EV.”
To get a closer look, we also spoke to Manohar, a driver partner currently with BluSmart who has previously also driven diesel and petrol-powered vehicles. Here’s what Manohar had to say, “इलेक्ट्रिक गाड़ी चलाना बहुत अच्छा लग रहा है। ये गाड़ियां बहुत कम शोर करती हैं, इसलिए सफर आरामदायक होता है। ये गाड़ियां तुरंत दौड़ने लगती हैं, जिससे शहर में चलाना आसान है। साथ ही, ये गाड़ियां पर्यावरण के लिए भी अच्छी हैं।” (Driving an electric car is really nice. They are very quiet, so the ride is comfortable. These cars start running instantly, which makes city driving easy. Plus, they are good for the environment.)
