Two Indian automakers, Tata Motors and Mahindra, place near the top of a global ranking focused on electric-vehicle battery energy efficiency, according to coverage from multiple outlets. The reports say the ranking highlights how effectively EVs convert stored battery energy into usable driving power. In this comparison, Tata Motors and Mahindra outperform Tesla and BYD, which are often associated with leading global EV technology. However, the same sources note that the Indian automakers’ EVs do not lead in other performance areas. Both outlets state that Tata and Mahindra still lag behind top global competitors when it comes to charging speed and driving range. The articles present the results as an indication of India’s strengths in developing comparatively frugal electric cars—vehicles that use energy efficiently—while also pointing to remaining gaps versus leading brands in fast-charging capability and total distance between charges.
