Maruti Suzuki Wagon R EV

The Wagon R EV was first spotted on the road in India sometime last year, and a new photo was recently posted on Reddit. It’s clearly marked as an “electric vehicle” all over so there’s definitely its drivetrain is electric and not Hybrid.

A report from Autocar India claims the all-electric Wagon R EV “will most likely be launched at under the (Indian) Rs 8 lakh price point” in 2020 when electric subsidies are included. That’s less than $9,840 

EV Outlook

EVs have a long way to go in India, but the country seems to be willing to take the proper steps toward growing the market. India introduced subsidies to all-electric vehicles last year, including two- and three-wheelers. India also announced the country’s “first Lithium-ion Battery Gigafactory” for EVs in January.

Before you ask if this vehicle, availability and its price point can be brought over to Sri Lanka , I’d remark that it is likely not safety tested for Western roads, but Suzuki could get that work done. Anyone interested in this vehicle?
