The move Tata Punch EV held the overall lead at **60.2%** (+2.4 percentage points from the previous edition's **57.8%**), leading on Gemini (**65.9%**) and Google AI Mode (**68.3%**) while ranking third on ChatGPT, where Mahindra BE 6 leads at **58.5%**. BYD Seal was the biggest mover, dropping 7.1 percentage points to **20.3%** and falling from rank 6 to rank 9; the decline was distributed across ChatGPT (**17.1%**, rank 10), Gemini (**26.8%**, rank 7), and AI Mode (**17.1%**, rank 9) with no single engine explaining the move. Kia EV6 and MG ZS EV each gained 5.6 percentage points and rose two rank positions apiece. New sources entering today include cartrade.com, drivespark.com, and mahindraelectricautomobile.com, which likely contributed to Mahindra BE 6 (+3.7 percentage points) and XEV 9e (+4.7 percentage points) gains in the Gemini and AI Mode pools. What it means Electric Cars sits in the competitive band, with the leader at **60.2%** and the next three brands within 7 percentage points — rank positions are highly sensitive to small shifts and the source-pool churn (23 new domains today) amplifies that volatility. The correlation between mahindraelectricautomobile.com entering the citation pool and Mahindra brand gains is a direct-site signal: operators should confirm that their brand domain is actively cited by all three engines, not only referenced on third-party comparison publishers. BYD Seal's uniform three-engine drop has no identifiable source-pool mechanism and should be read as sampling noise rather than a structural retreat; if it repeats next edition, the investigation point is whether any comparison publisher that previously cited BYD Seal in multi-model roundups dropped from the pool. The actionable lever for any mid-table brand in this vertical is coverage on AI Mode-primary sources such as cardekho.com and autocarindia.com, which together generated **63 citations** this edition.
