All circuits not firing up in upkeep of EVs

When Ramesh Sharma bought his first electric vehicle (EV) last year, he believed he was making an environmentally conscious move that would also save him money in the long run. What he didn’t expect was to be stuck in a months-long nightmare just to get his car repaired after a minor battery issue.

His experience is becoming increasingly common among India’s early EV adopters. As the country races toward its electric mobility goals, a growing number of e-car owners are reporting delays when they need to get the vehicles repaired, confusion over the insurance cover they need and even rejection of their claims.
