NE 4 highway till godhra is a nightmare for EVโs #mumbaidelhiexpressway
Not a single charger on 100 km stretch on Vasad - Godhra new NE4 highway.
Before that meagre 30kw charging station and that too was occupied by previous 2 vehicles.
How should i travel without anxiety ?
@ferrarirules86@purohit__anuj Bro . Its just not 100km stretch , whole damn 258 km NE4 has just 1 30kw charger !!
Is this serious on ev adoption. ?
NE 4 started in 2023
@ferrarirules86@purohit__anuj In 2026 if you still choose NH48 than expressways , and also invested 30 lakh in ev vehicle, it feels cheated !!
You cannot apply blanket rule to 100% general public.
Its an expressway and not damn dense jungle that i should be worried of.
@ferrarirules86@purohit__anuj Sir, this is like eating karela sabji even when you have butter chicken available.
So you are expecting 100% indian public to be mindful and alert and not take expressway and adopt when have invested 30lakhs in ev ecosystem system insteal of calling out ?
What logic is this ?
@purohit__anuj@ferrarirules86 Thank you Sir. I know you had helped me personally when my xev9e was stuck in mumbai-goa.
My point is , many ev enthusiasts are brushing ev adoption issues under the carpet and simply applying rule for all genreal public.
They need to know the reality.
@purohit__anuj Everyone is not perfect as you Sir.
Please understand, public cannot be 100% planned at all the times.
If i am buying 30lakh car , why would i go on NH48 if i have expressway .
I have to skip expressway just because thre are no chargers, but i am extremely short of time.
@ferrarirules86@purohit__anuj Sir, try doing this when you have emergency or you are short of time.
I have never complained about ev tech or xev9e. Its a brilliant ecosystem.
But if you dont call out slow ev adoption and just brush it off , we are not sending correct message.
Not everyone is perfect
@rarh2487 Ok i rest my case. If government is keen on expressway, installing toilets , petrol pumps but not Ev stations, i am not confident on ev adoption and many ppl like me have 1 vehicle .
I am confident on ev tech and hence i have spnt 30lakhs. But i doubt on ev adoption.
@sreeharivariar@purohit__anuj Sir. What logic is this ?
You are not understanding and blaming a xev9e customer instead of government.
I am bullish on ev and many people like me only have 1 vehicle. I am confident on ev tech but not on ev adoption.
Do you understand the difference?
@rarh2487 I am bullish on ev and hence i have a xev9e 79kw.
But on highways there are so many variables when you travel with family , toddler that its difficult to plan charging, toddler bio break, eat time rest etc etc.
Ev enthusiasts on TL expects to do everything when car is charging
@purohit__anuj With due respect, no one is complaining about ev tech,
Complaint is about government ev adoption.
Many ppl like me can afford only 1 vehicle.
NE4 which is 258 km stretch from Navsari to godhra has only 1 30kw charger. Its insane !! . (1/n)
@byondtechnicals@volklub I dont know how you search but this is what i see in statiq.
Also there is only 1 30 kw charger from navsari - godhra which is 258 km stretch.
@EVZindabad Sir, i started from Mumbai, entered NE4 from navsari ,
We just have 1 30kw charger on each side on 258 km stretch till godhra.
Government wants to us to increase ev adoption. Its a joke !
Getting down from expressway , charge and again go back . Its a pain !
@ferrarirules86@volklub I dont have a clear yes or no.
I am confident on ev tech, my car xev9e , it wont let me down.
But i am not confident on highway infrastructure, chargers not working, no electricity, slow chargers etc etc.
Too many variables.
So if i am on fixed highway route , definitely yes
@ferrarirules86 I do miss the flexibility which i had in diesel car before. I never have to worry because i knew i will get pumps nearby and top up time will be max 10 mins. I can stop anywhere for tea break.
This stage to reach for ev adoption needs time.
Its on the way but not there yet.
