Maruti Suzuki, Toyota and Honda plan to launch no less than half a dozen new ‘full’ hybrid cars in India over the next couple of years. While Maruti will give the Ciaz and the badge engineered 2020 Toyota Corolla Altis sedans the full hybrid treatment, Toyota is expected to do the same with the badge engineered Ciaz and the next-generation Corolla Altis. As for Honda, the City sedan’s next generation version is very likely to be one full hybrid, with the other likely to either be the Civic or the next-generation Jazz.

With BS6 looming large, it might be economical for the companies to go electric, than small diesels. And for consumers, with so many companies going electric, cheaper and wide variety of products to pick from.

Also, a quick (5 mins to full charge) charging tech going into testing this time in Germany, may be electrics will become more practical and quiet soon.

CRISIL research finds that most electric two wheelers will not avail subsidy due to criteria mandating a lithium-ion battery and range of atleast 80km.

All electric cars to have green number plates

NEW DELHI: The Centre on Monday asked state transport departments to ensure that all battery-operated vehicles, both existing and new, have green number platesimmediately.

The road transport ministry in August, 2018, had introduced the new number plate for all battery-operated or electric vehicles (EVs).

The transport ministry’s missive to states is aimed at indicating that the government is serious about pushing green mobility across the country.

The government has done away with permits for vehicles running on battery and other alternative source of fuel like methanol and bio-fuel.
