Which electric car in Indian market is safer to ride? 

Do we Indians really care about safety when it comes to buying a car, of course, we do but we do concentrate more only on the mileage. We Indians do care more about money than lives, True right? At least from now on before buying a car please check the safety rating of the car. I will give you an example, Tata cars have more safety rating but low mileage when compared to Suzuki cars, most of the people’s choice goes to Suzuki than Tata because of the mileage. Here in this article, I will show the Electric car safety ratings. 

Now, let’s get into the topic, there are only a few electric cars which are currently selling in the market. They are TATA NEXON, MG ZS, TATA TIGOR, MAHINDRA E-VERITO, HYUNDAI KONA, BENZ EQC.
