Today's three engines do not agree on the #1 brand. This is what makes a serious AI visibility audit different from a single-engine snapshot: ChatGPT leads with Mahindra BE 6; Gemini leads with Tata Punch EV; AI Mode leads with Tata Punch EV.

Who runs this index

The CITE Index is built and published daily by Cite Solutions, a managed GEO agency, using the same measurement pipeline we run for client brands. If you want to know how your own brand shows up when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google AI Mode about electric cars or any other category, run an AI visibility audit and get the same per-prompt receipts you see on this page.
