Auto Today Magazine - June 2021

In this issue

Highlights of Auto Today dated June 2021 issue: June plays host to World Environment Day and that’s the theme of the latest issue of Auto Today with a focus on electric vehicles as they seem to hold the key to unlocking a cleaner and greener tomorrow. There’s a bit of history with stories on India’s first EV, the Maini Reva, as well as a detailed look at the evolution of electric cars. We’ve also gone beneath the skin of electric cars to explain how things work including the setup, charging technology along with a myth buster debunking some common apprehensions regarding EVs among the general populace. The issue features a detailed list of all the electric two-wheelers and four-wheelers currently on sale in India as well ones that are expected to arrive over the next 12 months or so. And the team also shares a firsthand experience of living with EVs – an e-scooter and an electric car – to highlight the pros and cons and determine whether it’s time for you to make the switch to electric or not. Featured in this issue is a detailed look at statistics surrounding the EV market, both domestic and international and a journey across Europe in an EV to get a feel of where developed nations stand in terms of infrastructure and feasibility of doing long distances on battery power. Besides all things electric, our cover story this month gives you the lowdown on all the upcoming SUVs ready to go on sale in the coming months. We also head out onto the streets of Delhi-NCR in search of some of the finest urban street art on display with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Turbo. We’ve got updates on our long-term fleet and, as always, all the latest news from the Indian and international automotive scene. Enjoy the June issue of Auto Today and until next time, ride and drive safe and if you do need to step out of the house, please mask up.
