Electric vehicles are steadily becoming a mainstream choice in India, driven by growing environmental awareness, improving charging infrastructure and advances in battery technology. The trend is not limited to everyday consumers. Several celebrities have also added electric vehicles to their garages, helping bring greater visibility to sustainable mobility.
Interestingly, not all celebrity-owned EVs are ultra-expensive luxury models. Some stars have chosen practical and relatively affordable electric cars that are within reach of a wider audience. On World Environment Day, here is a look at five electric vehicles favoured by celebrities that are also available in the Indian market.
Mahindra’s new-age electric SUVs attract star power
According to NDTV, among the newest entrants in India’s EV market is the Mahindra XEV 9e, which has found admirers in filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and actors Kubbra Sait and Boman Irani. The electric SUV is available with 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery pack options and offers an impressive claimed range of up to 659 km.
Another Mahindra EV making headlines is the Mahindra BE 6, owned by actor Ajith Kumar in its special Formula E edition. The production version delivers a claimed range of up to 683 km, making it one of the longest-range electric vehicles currently available in the country.
