MG Comet EV appeared 5.4% less often in electric cars answers on 22 May 2026 than the day before.
The move
Tata Nexon EV held the lead, named in 58.7% of electric cars answers, ahead of Tata Punch EV at 58.0%.
The engines split: ChatGPT led with Tata Nexon EV, Gemini with Tata Punch EV, and Google AI Mode with Tata Nexon EV.
The biggest single-day move was MG Comet EV, appearing 5.4% less often than the day before.
What it means
No brand has crystallized electric cars in AI answers yet.
A leader under 50% citation share means the engines are still spreading recommendations across a wide field, and a single strong day can reorder the top three.
The engines disagreeing on the leader means a buyer asking ChatGPT versus Google AI Mode for electric cars gets a different first recommendation, which is the clearest sign the category is still being decided.
New domains entered the citation pool on this day, including angelone.in and autoviva.in, a signal that the engines are widening the evidence set they pull from for electric cars.
