Tata Punch EV leads at 62% as the only brand winning both Gemini and AI Mode at 68%; BYD Seal shed 6% to 20.7%, falling to rank 8 with the steepest losses on ChatGPT and AI Mode. Tata Punch EV extended its lead to 62% citation share (+2.7%), winning Gemini and AI Mode both at 68% (rank 1) while ChatGPT ranks it second at 50% behind Mahindra BE 6 at 60%. Tata Nexon EV gained 5.4% to move to rank 2 at 56.7%. BYD Seal is the biggest mover, dropping 6% to 20.7% and falling from rank 6 to rank 8; its AI Mode citation share fell to 16% (rank 9) and ChatGPT to 16% (rank 9), with Gemini holding relatively higher at 30%. New top sources cardekho.com (47 AI Mode-primary citations), autocarindia.com (35), and carwale.com (31) entered this edition and heavily favor domestic OEM coverage, which may explain both the Tata portfolio gains and BYD Seal's relative decline on AI Mode.

Cite Solutions Research

Tata Punch EV leads at 62% as the only brand winning both Gemini and AI Mode at 68%; BYD Seal shed 6% to 20.7%, falling to rank 8 with the steepest losses on ChatGPT and AI Mode.

The move

Tata Punch EV extended its lead to 62% citation share (+2.7%), winning Gemini and AI Mode both at 68% (rank 1) while ChatGPT ranks it second at 50% behind Mahindra BE 6 at 60%.

Tata Nexon EV gained 5.4% to move to rank 2 at 56.7%.

BYD Seal is the biggest mover, dropping 6% to 20.7% and falling from rank 6 to rank 8; its AI Mode citation share fell to 16% (rank 9) and ChatGPT to 16% (rank 9), with Gemini holding relatively higher at 30%.

New top sources cardekho.com (47 AI Mode-primary citations), autocarindia.com (35), and carwale.com (31) entered this edition and heavily favor domestic OEM coverage, which may explain both the Tata portfolio gains and BYD Seal's relative decline on AI Mode.

What it means

At 62% leader share, electric cars is a fragmented vertical with the top four brands separated by just 10 percentage points, meaning engine-specific behavior has outsized influence on overall rank.

The Tata Punch EV and Nexon EV both gaining while the pool fills with domestic auto comparison publishers is structurally coherent: cardekho.com and carwale.com historically index domestic OEM models heavily.

BYD Seal's AI Mode drop to rank 9 while Gemini held at rank 8 is worth monitoring, but without a prior per-engine baseline the move lacks a fully confirmed mechanism.

For operators in this category, AI Mode draws heavily from domestic comparison publishers this edition, and brand coverage on those platforms is the most direct citation lever visible in the data.
