Most Helpful Review

Tata Nexon EV Creative Plus Medium Range

I had purchased this car in 2020, driven around 45000 in the city only, with 2 batteries changed in warranty. Had a thought of exchanging with the new Nexon EV. But I was shocked to get the resale value of only 4 lakhs from the sales team. What is the point is buying an EV if the resale is so less, what is saved in fuel will go into the depreciation cost. Please think before buying Tata EV Cars.

Citroen EC3 Value for money

Citroen needs to work on its application and also needs to have its own charging infrastructure like TATA to compete in this segment. Work on features, and introduce new features.
