Range anxiety in India is a very normal concern, but the conversation has significantly changed. We’ve moved away from the phase where electric cars were purely "city runabouts." Today, cars are launching with much larger batteries, better thermal management for Indian summers, and the highway charging network (Tata Power, Zeon, Fortum, etc.) is vastly improved. The golden rule for Indian conditions is to look at \*\*real-world range\*\*, which is typically \*\*25% to 35% lower\*\*…
