While most big-name mass-market brands are set to introduce affordable EVs around 2025, there are some who want to get started. As of now, the best that a consumer can expect from an entry-level EV is a base price of less than Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) and a claimed range of over 200 km. Here are three models coming out in 2023 that will meet those criteria.

The Tiago EV is the third electric car from the Tata company. Tata Tiago is the only car that comes in electric variants apart from petrol and CNG.
