The Harrier EV also packs one of the largest battery packs in this list, which is a 75 kWh battery pack that delivers a range of 627 km, providing power of 238 PS and 504 Nm of torque for the all-wheel-drive setup.

CarDekho Says..

An electric car can make a lot of sense for a family road trip, especially during Diwali, when every kilometre saved on running costs counts. With claimed ranges of over 600 km, these EVs offer the potential to cover long distances between charging stops, while their spacious cabins and feature-rich interiors make the journey more comfortable for the whole family. 

However, claimed range figures are best treated as a guide, as highway speeds, air-conditioning and luggage can affect real-world efficiency.

From the futuristic-looking BE 6 SPORTEQ to the sporty BYD Seal, these electrics will make your journeys more memorable with the fun you would have travelling in these vehicles. But the most surprising part of this list is the dominance of Indian electric cars, which under Rs 50 lakh provide an incredible package with the longest range as well. 

After all, the best road-trip EV isn’t just the one that goes the farthest on paper, but the one that makes every festive journey easier on your wallet and more enjoyable for your family. So, which EV are you bringing home this Diwali? Let us know in the comments!
