What is Torque?

Twisting force that pushes your car forward — EVs deliver it instantly.

Torque (measured in Newton-meters, Nm) is what gets you moving. EVs deliver peak torque from 0 RPM, giving them explosive off-the-line acceleration. A ₹15 lakh EV can match a ₹50 lakh petrol car's 0-60 km/h time. It's why EVs feel so quick even with modest power ratings.
