A new analysis has revealed that the Oil Industry generates a staggering $3bn-a-day profits for the last 50 years.
Around 52 Trillion $ has the power to buy “buy every politician, every system”, thus delay action on air pollution & climate crisis.

The market is slowly shifting from “fuel choice” to “efficiency choice.”

Interesting times ahead for mobility.

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

I strongly agree @amitbhatt4u

India needs policy certainty more than temporary incentives .. Regulation is what will make EV adoption mainstream and scalable ..

🤝 As usual Find the solution to the “Real” problem not “Reel” the problem !!

Avoid being a “inphluencer��� !!

Keep up the good work ,let logic set in rather than illogical nonsense !!

💪 more power to Ev community at large

86,598 reasons why the Tata Nexon EV didn’t just lead .. it created India’s ⚡️EV market.

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

The tipping point is here. India is moving beyond fossil fuels.

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

While others hesitate, Delhi accelerates ⚡

Time for policy consistency across states. @DKShivakumar @siddaramaiah @tdkarnataka

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

Crisis → Opportunity.

87% oil dependence.
A clear EV roadmap:
⚡ Electrify mobility
⚡ Enable charging (Right to Charge)
⚡ Build a battery ecosystem

What’s missing isn’t vision, it’s execution at scale.

We’ve done it before.
Time to do it again.

Read. Reflect. Share.

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

This is the part many miss .. EVs reduce emissions, but solar powered charging takes it a step further .. Clean energy driving clean 💚 mobility ..

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

At a time when fuel prices remain vulnerable to global conflicts and volatility, EV drivers quietly continue enjoying stable and increasingly affordable running costs ..

[Vahan Warta (वाहन वार्ता ) @VahanWarta]

The ₹3.99/km battery cost for the new #eVitara comes with a massive asterisk.
✅It’s NOT a Rental, It’s a Loan: The "Battery-as-a-Service" is actually a dual-loan finance product. You take one loan for the car and a separate one for the battery. You are liable for the battery EMI regardless of usage.
✅The "60km/Day" Assumption: That attractive ₹3.99/km price? It’s calculated assuming you drive 60km every single day (1,800km/month).
👉 Reality Check: If you are a typical city driver doing 30km/day, your effective battery cost doubles because your EMI is fixed!
✅Hidden Costs: This price excludes charging costs, road tax, insurance, and other levies.

A 💚 PROUD MOVEMENT 🇮🇳

While some are still debating the 'what-ifs,' a home-grown EV player has already quietly moved on to the 'what's next.'

The @mahindraesuvs #XEV9e just picked up Car of the Year at the 2026 Auto9 Awards and Green Car of the Year at ICOTY 2026 and this wasn’t just a checkbox win. It topped the charts for real-world range, tech, and how well it fits Indian driving conditions, beating a crowded field of global names.

With 30,000+ cars already on Indian roads and a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating (including a perfect 32/32 in adult safety), the decision seems pretty straightforward. Thousands of Indian families are already making that “common sense” choice every day.

The future isn’t something we’re waiting for anymore. It’s already here, and it’s already 🏆winning.

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

2,800 km
Multiple states
Mixed highways + cities
Mixed charging networks

140 Wh/km average
55 kWh pack
No range anxiety
Fast + slow charging worked as intended

This is real EV ownership today .. not theory, not slides ..
Just data, planning, and a well-engineered #EV doing its job ..

Well driven. Well proven. ⚡🚗

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

The ICE age isn’t ending overnight… but it’s definitely under pressure.

Mahindra’s #XUV3XOEV just entered the sub-4m space, and this isn’t a “city EV” experiment.
It’s a compact SUV with serious performance DNA, clearly evolving from what the #XUV400 started.

Shorter footprint. Sharper intent. Same confidence.

Let’s talk about what’s actually under the floor. 👇

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

Making a "Museum of Dead Substandard DC Chargers." High-speed DC units which never work. India’s EV transition deserves better than this. Time for strict SLA on 99% uptime. #PMeDrive

If a charger is down for >24hrs, there must be a penalty on the OMCs. @beeindiadigital @MinOfPower, enforce the standards or admit the infra has failed.

@SMedia4 @ferrarirules86 @evelectree @Xroaders_001 @EVZindabad @Shaggy7979 @TeslaClubIN @GreenDrvIndia @ev_gyan @TorqueIndia Fact: In 2025, pollution-related illnesses account for 8-9% of all hospital claims in India. Shockingly, 43% of these claims are for children under 10. While a Hybrid "works" at 0% SOC by burning fuel, it continues to fuel this healthcare crisis.

[Asheesh Arora @AsheeshAroraEV]

Less than 600 km old and straight to the hills for a 700 km drive ..
This is how you know EVs have moved from ‘experiments’ to everyday freedom ..
