In 2026, range anxiety in India is rapidly becoming a thing of the past due to massive upgrades in battery sizes, the launch of dedicated global EV platforms, and the rapid expansion of highway fast-charging networks. Today’s mass-market electric vehicles easily offer \*\*400 km to over 600 km of claimed range\*\*, which translates to a highly reliable \*\*300 km to 450 km of real-world driving\*\* on a single charge.
