What an irritating, delayed and sweaty end to our fantastic EV adventure - thank you @AirIndiaX
IX1082 from Bagdogra to Delhi
- scheduled departure 6:05pm. It’s 6:20 and APU is still not connected
- this means entire cabin is warm and humid. Thankfully I had my fan handy..
- looking at another delayed flight
- paid for a window seat - got a panel next to me in return.
We were hoping you to do better Air India Express!

International drive in an EV?
Not one but ten. Yes 10!
We are pulling the impossible with ten @mahindraesuvs BEVs from the capital of India to the capital of Bhutan. That too at a blazing speed
Day 1 : Delhi to Gorakhpur over 850km
Day 2 : Gorakhpur to Siliguri over 650km
Day 3 : Finally into Bhutan
We have a mix of BE6, XEV 9e and XEV 9S models. Back to back runs and into the kingdom.
How was this even possible? Massive range, super quick charging capabilities and extremely comfortable ergos. Mind you - not just adults but kids too on board.
More details drop soon as we head to Thimphu tomorrow from Pheuntsholing
Our very own @purohit__anuj is too part of the convoy
Yet another EV milestone guys @Xroaders_001@TeslaClubIN@ferrarirules86@tushv24@ev_gyan@EVZindabad@theEVtrip@evelectree and others
#MahindraEVBhutanDrive
Took the Hycross on a Delhi–Bhopal round trip and came back impressed with its comfortable ride, and efficient hybrid powertrain and delivers impressive fuel efficiency.A no-brainer if you’re planning to buy a big family MPV.
Thank you @airindia for giving passengers of AI 2910 a free tour between terminal and aircraft : back and fro!
Flight was simply made to stand near runway for good 40 mins. Without air con or fresh air. Kids crying, elderly feeling the heat.
This video was shot by @JulianPratap , one of the passengers. Another passenger @ShipranshuP states that no snacks or refreshments provided inspite of what is now a 3 hr delay. Really Air India?
As we drove into Thimphu in the dark, we had zero clue on how the landscape and architecture looked like.
Like THIS!
The day was spent driving around Thimphu, capturing the proud Tata Punch EV with such backdrops.
We made it. The Punch EV shattered myths and drove into both India Book of Records as well as Asia Book of Records.
Love the visuals? See the following post for more ;-)

Another month, another milestone — and this time, once again, it's electric ⚡
We’re hitting the road in India’s most affordable e-SUV, the Tata Punch.ev, for a bold new benchmark: the fastest EV drive from India to Bhutan 🇮🇳➡️🇧🇹
With full support from Tata EV and the Honourable Minister of Heavy Industries, Mr. H.D. Kumaraswamy, this isn’t just a record run, it’s a myth-busting mission.
Driving to the world’s first carbon-negative country, we aim to answer hundreds of questions and crush a thousand doubts about EVs - range, charging, terrain, and everything in between.
The stage is set. We roll out soon from NCR to Bhutan.
Stay tuned to this record-making, stereotype-breaking electric adventure! ⚡💥🌏
@Tataev@hd_kumaraswamy@91wheels
And this is what we have been planning for months now!
India to Bhutan in an EV? Why not says the country’s most affordable e-SUV
We had the ceremonial flag off today and soon kick start a record making journey.
Another milestone. Another benchmark. The Tata Punch EV is geared up for this

One of the wettest weeks in Delhi but we aren’t bothered when it comes to bikes ;-)
Quick dekho at the more powerful Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z from @ShipranshuP
Seems @MGSelectIndia likes the fact that the MG M9 is being called “Chinese” openly.
Got a ♥️ from team MG Select on Instagram (2nd image) recently.
This is good acceptance @MGMotorIn :-)
Yeh desh badal raha hai
91Wheels Garage updates
First, the little wonder Tata Punch EV - been driving it for while now. Remarkable as an urban e-SUV. But we have some adventurous plans soon - stay tuned ;)
And then @ShipranshuP's new set of wheels is the Kia Syros (Turbo DCT) - unbeatable space and premium feel. Brilliant. But sips a lot :-P
Great sky today - hope it remains so for the days to come

The second big Japanese giant to enter the e-scooter market in India : the eAccess from Suzuki is here.
Always feels special to have a brand new unit arrive for a shoot ;-)
More to come
@suzuki2wheelers#eaccess#suzukieaccess
With just 121km on the odo, a brand mew Honda Elevate Black Signature arrives at 91Wheels. And it’s a manual ;-)
Love the dechrome theme and SUV stance. Great engine continues and excellent / relatively low pricing included.
Your thoughts ?
@HondaCarIndia
Six days filled with adventure and unforgettable memories—crossing six states to reach the final destination was nothing short of an epic journey!
The Curvv.ev adds yet another milestone to its achievements.
@Tataev@91wheels
Final day of our #CurvvEV2Kaho adventure and a new India Book of Record!
The Tata Curvv.ev would be creating history today - a new benchmark, a new record! The last 130km of this adventure started off on great roads. We had snow peaks for company too and the air was crisp and clean - AQI as low as 20!
As we continued closer to Kaho, civilization seemed to have disappeared. The occasional house, a little village and ofcourse, Army vehicles to infuse confidence in us.
To add to the adventure, we crossed streams, waterfalls and even age old wooden bridges!
And then, after almost 3000km from our starting point in Gurugram, the Curvv.ev entered India’s first village, Kaho.
This is where each month the first rays of sun kiss India. This is where you can witness the Chinese side by the naked eye. And ofcourse your phone catches ‘China Mobile’!
No other electric vehicle had dared to come here. Till now. This has been a new India Book of Record.
Stay tuned as the full video drops soon on 91Wheels!
@Tataev@91wheels
One step closer to our goal!
Today the Curvv.ev would be entering the 6th and final state of the trip - Arunchal Pradesh. The day started off well - great roads ahead of Jorhat, less traffic and terrific views with tea estates around.
After a quick juice up at the last fast charger in this part of India (Tinsukia) we were off further East not before stopping in the middle of this - a never ending tea garden. What a sight!
As we got closer to our night destination, post Tezu, roads became narrower, dense vegetation cover took over and often, Curvv.ev was the only car on the road. Our night halt was at a remote little town of Hayuliang, set next to the Lohit river.
Thanks to local friends, we charged the Curvv overnight via AC slow charging, all set for creating history the next day!
Some stats:
From: Jorhat, Assam
To: Hayuliang, Arunchal Pradesh
Leg Distance: 418km
Leg Efficiency: 146 Wh/km
Total Distance: 2763 km
Total Efficiency: 133 Wh/km
Charging stops: 1
Route: Jorhat - Dibrugarh - Tinsukia - Tezu - Tidding
#CurvvEV2Kaho @Tataev@91wheels
One step closer to creating history!
See our journey on the 4th day of #CurvvEV2Kaho drive.
An early morning start saw us covering an impressive 624 km—made possible by improved road infrastructure and the Curvv.ev’s remarkable real-world range of over 425 km.
Today also marked our entry into the fifth state of the journey, Assam, where we continued to charge the Curvv.ev seamlessly at Tata Power EZ Charge stations.
The highways were excellent for most of the route, and post-Guwahati—the largest city in Assam—we caught our first glimpse of the hills. Adding to the experience, we had the pleasure of driving alongside another proud Tata.ev owner for a while—twinning on the road!
The day concluded in the vibrant town of Jorhat, with an impressive efficiency of 135 wh/km on the display of the Tata Curvv EV. As we head into Day 5, we’re inching closer to our goal—and a potential new India Book of Records achievement.
Some stats:
From -> Birpara
To -> Jorhat
Leg Distance -> 624km
Leg Efficiency -> 135 Wh/km
Total Distance -> 2344 km
Total Efficiency -> 131 Wh/km
Charging stops -> 2

Quick (video) look at Day 3 of our record making drive to the Easternmost point of India in the Tata Curvv EV.
Our record-making #CurvvEV2Kaho drive highlights the continuous improvements in India's road infrastructure.
While we frequently encountered smooth 4-lane highways, taking detours to reach charging stations also led us through well-paved countryside roads.
Even after crossing Siliguri, we had no trouble finding a Tata Power EZ Charge charger!
After covering over 1700 km, the Curvv.ev's display showed an impressive 130 Wh/km, which translates to a range of 423 km on a full charge. Truly remarkable, and it debunks many myths and misconceptions. Tomorrow, we head into the fifth state of our journey. Stay tuned!
Some stats:
➡️From: Darbhanga
➡️To: Birpara

Maruti Swift CNG
In a matter of a week, this workhorse has covered 1000+km already with us here at @91wheels@ShipranshuP has been getting an easy 30+ km per kg in traffic conditions and today on our highway run, it shocked us even more!
Number drops soon. Love the easy going nature of this hatchback.
Do you like this shade of red?
