Here is a list of the upcoming affordable EVs that are going to hit the market in the next 2 years:

MG Cloud EV

After joining hands with the JSW Group, MG Motor India is expected to bring the Cloud EV to the Indian market. This electric MPV is already on sale as a Wuling Cloud MPV in Indonesia. But, for India, the car will be renamed as MG Cloud EV. The upcoming EV is likely to get a 50.6kWh battery pack with a single electric motor. It can deliver a maximum range of over 505 km on a single charge. Expected to launch before the end of this year, the EV could be priced between Rs 15-20 Lakh in India.
