Best Electric Cars Under ₹8 Lakh

India's electric vehicle market has 5 options available under the ₹8 lakh price bracket. This segment is ideal for budget-conscious buyers looking for affordable daily commuters with low running costs.

When choosing an EV under ₹8 lakh, key factors to consider include driving range (aim for 200+ km for daily use), battery capacity, fast charging support, safety features, and after-sales service network. Running costs for these EVs are typically ₹1-2 per km compared to ₹7-10 for petrol equivalents.

Government incentives make these EVs even more affordable. The PM E-DRIVE central subsidy, state road tax waivers, registration fee exemptions, and Section 80EEB income tax deduction (₹1.5 lakh on EV loan interest) can save buyers ₹1-3 lakh on the total cost of ownership.
