Electric Cars in India 2026: Full Price List, Range & Specs

This data is compiled from V3Cars' continuously updated Electric Cars in India tracker, covering every currently available EV along with upcoming models still to launch.

India's EV market has genuinely diversified beyond the handful of options available just a few years ago — buyers today can choose from sub-Rs-10-lakh compact EVs, midsize electric SUVs with 400+ km real-world range, and full luxury electric sedans, all launching within months of each other. Here's the complete, current price and range list.

Latest Launched Electric Cars in India — Full List

Model Ex-Showroom Price Battery Range (Claimed)
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Rs. 55.70 lakh 690 km
Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric Rs. 55.00–64.00 lakh 542 km
Tesla Model Y L Rs. 61.99 lakh 681 km
Lexus ES 500e Rs. 89.99 lakh 580 km
VinFast VF MPV 7 Rs. 24.49 lakh 517 km
Maruti Suzuki eVitara Rs. 15.99–20.01 lakh 440 km
Mahindra XUV 3XO EV Rs. 13.89–14.96 lakh 456 km
Tata Punch EV Rs. 9.69–12.59 lakh 365 km

Cheapest Electric Cars in India (Currently on Sale)

For buyers prioritising the lowest EV entry price, the Tata Punch EV currently anchors the affordable end of the market at Rs. 9.69 lakh, offering a claimed range of 365 km — a genuinely usable figure for most daily city and short-highway commutes.

Longest Range Electric Cars in India

At the premium end, range figures climb considerably:

  • Hyundai Ioniq 5 — 690 km claimed range, the current range leader in this list
  • Tesla Model Y L — 681 km claimed range
  • Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric — 542 km claimed range
  • VinFast VF MPV 7 — 517 km claimed range, notable for delivering strong range in a genuine 7-seat MPV body style

As always, treat claimed/ARAI range figures as a ceiling rather than an everyday expectation — real-world range typically runs 15-25% lower depending on driving style, AC use, and terrain.

Upcoming Electric Cars in India — What's Coming Next

Several genuinely significant EVs are confirmed or expected to launch in the near future:

Upcoming Model Expected Price Power Range
Hyundai Inster Rs. 9.50–13.00 lakh 97 PS 327 km
Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella EV Rs. 18.00–22.00 lakh 144 PS 440 km
VinFast VF3 Rs. 8.00–10.00 lakh 40 PS 215 km
Tata Altroz EV Rs. 13.40–14.40 lakh 75 PS 320 km
Hyundai Ioniq 6 (2026) Rs. 65.00–80.00 lakh 228 PS 545 km
Skoda Elroq EV Rs. 40.00–45.00 lakh 170 PS 370 km
Renault Kwid EV Rs. 8.00–10.00 lakh 65 PS 298 km
Hyundai Ioniq 9 Rs. 80.00–90.00 lakh 95 PS
BYD U8 TBA 1196 PS

Of particular note for budget-focused buyers: VinFast VF3 and Renault Kwid EV, both expected in the Rs. 8-10 lakh bracket, would meaningfully undercut the current cheapest EV on sale (Tata Punch EV at Rs. 9.69 lakh) if they launch at their currently indicated pricing.

How to Choose the Right EV for Your Budget

  • Under Rs. 10 lakh: Currently just the Tata Punch EV; watch for the VinFast VF3 and Renault Kwid EV to widen this bracket
  • Rs. 10-16 lakh: Mahindra XUV 3XO EV and the eVitara's base variants offer the strongest range-to-price ratio in this bracket
  • Rs. 16-25 lakh: eVitara's higher variants and the VinFast VF MPV 7 (for buyers wanting a 7-seat EV)
  • Rs. 25 lakh+: Ioniq 5, CLA Electric and Model Y L compete here, primarily differentiated by range, brand positioning and charging speed rather than price alone

A Practical Note on EV Ownership

Before committing to any EV on this list, the single biggest factor in whether the running-cost math actually works out in your favour is home or workplace charging access — without it, relying primarily on public charging infrastructure can erode much of an EV's cost advantage over petrol, diesel or CNG. It's worth reading our Petrol vs Diesel vs CNG vs EV guide elsewhere on this site before finalising your fuel-type decision, and using V3Cars' Fuel Cost Calculator to compare your specific expected running costs across fuel types.

Final Word

India's EV market in 2026 spans a genuinely wide price range — from the Rs. 9.69 lakh Tata Punch EV to premium options crossing Rs. 90 lakh — with several promising budget entrants (VinFast VF3, Renault Kwid EV, Hyundai Inster) still to launch. Whatever your budget, prioritise real-world range and confirmed charging access over the claimed figure on the spec sheet, and always check the latest pricing before finalising, since EV pricing in India has shifted meaningfully — often downward — even within a single model's first year on sale.
