Yes — for many Indian buyers in 2026, an electric car is finally worth buying. But it depends heavily on \*\*your daily driving distance, home charging access, and budget\*\*. If your usage is mostly city driving (under 80–100 km/day) and you can charge at home, EVs now make strong financial sense because running costs are dramatically lower than petrol/diesel. India’s charging network and model choices have also improved a lot in 2025–26\. EV sales continue growing fast, with Tata, MG, and Mahindra leading the market. \[mycarjunction.com\](https://mycarjunction.com/news/india-ev-sales-report-2026?u
