Are manufacturers betting big on hybrids in India | @evoIndia podcast
Join us on the latest episode of the evo India podcast as we delve into the rapidly evolving landscape of hybrid vehicles in India. In this engaging discussion, we explore whether manufacturers are placing their bets on hybrids over electric vehicles (EVs) and what this shift means for the Indian automotive market. We talk about cars from manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra and Tata. From the environmental benefits to the practicality and infrastructure considerations, we analyze why hybrids are gaining traction and whether they could be the future of sustainable mobility in India.

      There is only 1 oem manufacturing Hybrids that Toyota. EVs are the ULTIMATE in efficiency. It's far easier to build a cheap EV, compared to strong hybrid. In the next few years it's going to be amply evident. Toyota is throwing money around to make hybrids more popular, using media and influencers.

    Last month, i drove xuv 700 and safari facelift for 3,000 kilometers both till Manali(automatic). It is my take away: 1: Safari suspension is amazing, it smoothly glides over bad patches 2: Safari gearbox is better, and fees less jerking while shifting. 3: safari has better road presence, xuv is also beautiful, but safari has an edge. 4: Third row is practical in safari. XUV 700….. 1: Engine is just rocket, very refined, feels like driving BMW. 2: The car is more spacious despite the fact that middle row can slide in safari. 3: Cabin feels more luxurious. 4: Easy to drive vehicle for thousands of kilometers, no tiredness. 5: Zero software glitches encountered during trip. 6: Under thigh support is better in xuv. 7: Adas is very accurate in xuv 700. Note: Please don’t get offended, but xuv in my opinion, is more practical car, and gives a feel driving any foreign made car. Sometimes, hard to believe it was made by Mahindra.

    Since the strong hybrids can't be plugged in, it is useless to say that you can drive it in EV mode when in the parking lot or drive a few kilometers on cold start silently. Also the argument about taking it out from the garage (in EV mode - maybe not to disturb the neighbors) make little sense in the wider scheme of things as we all are not driving sports cars with roaring engines. Strong hybrids are not 'specifically' built for this purpose. They are built to assist drivers with fuel efficiency in start-stop/ heavy traffic conditions. Car manufacturers should have instead brought in plug-in hybrids with multiple battery options in India. That would have enabled people to buy cars with the battery pack size which would be sufficient for their daily commute and charge the car at home everyday. And with plug-in hybrids, there's no worry regarding battery anxiety with weekend/long trips. As per a survey in 2019, majority of the urban dwellers, at about 70 percent, across India traveled less than ten kilometers for work and education according to the survey. A plug-in hybrid would have been perfect for them. Also with smaller battery pack, the cost of replacement after 8-10 years would have been drastically low compared to an EV. A good plug-in hybrid would have disrupted the Indian market. Well, that's my opinion. Would love to hear your thoughts.

      If the battery has been charged by the ic, you could drive the strong hybrid on ev mode in a parking lot or in traffic or even on start…..why not? Plug in hybrids are more expensive (at least for now and until technology or usage increase)

    • @prakash86anish
      @prakash86anish 6 годин тому

      @@octavian2667 True but that isn't solving any problem. Mild hybrids and strong hybrids are designed to cater to fuel efficiency issue only. There's no logical reason why hybrids should get rebate incentives from the government. EVs in that sense are superior products simply because they are more efficient machines.
