Chinese EV is
undergoing testing in India – the Baojun E100, as per a report from Mint.
The Baojun E100 undergoing testing in India is an
LHD unit imported from China. MG is testing the EV in Halol, where it has its
first manufacturing facility in the country. Rajeev Chaba, President and MD, MG
(India), has confirmed the company is testing the two EVs.
In an email response about queries related to the
latest development, Mr. Chaba said: “We have started testing some EV options in
some regions of western India to gauge the range and suitability of the
vehicles in different driving and climatic conditions.” “We may try it in
different parts of the country as well, based on the present outcome of
testing,” he added.
