Asked by: Jacob Thomas My daughter spends over ₹15,000 per month on petrol. I've advised her to consider switching to an EV. With a maximum budget of around ₹17 lakh, which would be the better choice among the Tata Punch EV, Nexon EV, and MG Comet? If your daughter likes the look and feel of the Comet EV, it’s a good option for intra-city use. The MG Comet EV on road price in Bangalore is ₹11.27 lakh, so it fits comfortably within your budget. However, given her high monthly fuel spend, she’s likely covering longer distances, and the MG Comet EV’s small range could be restrictive. The Tata Punch EV and Tata Nexon EV are quite similar and offer a wide choice of variants within your ₹17 lakh budget, but the Nexon EV offers more space and is the better choice. Also worth considering are the MG Windsor Essence or Windsor Exclusive variants, which could offer better value for money at your price point. Asked by: Padmesh Sabesan I own a Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI that has clocked close to 50,000 km. I'm considering a Stage 1 ECU remap to improve the car's power and torque output. Before proceeding, I wanted to understand a few key aspects. Is it advisable to tune the car at this stage, given the current mileage and usage? If yes, who would you recommend as the most reliable and experienced tuner in Bangalore? Also, what are the potential risks or side effects on components such as the engine and gearbox? A Stage 1 ECU tune can certainly enhance your car’s performance if done correctly. A basic Stage 1 tune is unlikely to impact the life of the engine or gearbox, as these components are built and tested to tolerate much more than the factory specifications. However, the ECU in the Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI is locked, and for a long time, most Indian tuners have not been able to bypass it. Some tuners are working around this by installing an unlocked ECU from the T-Roc 1.5 TSI, but this method is considerably more expensive than a regular Stage 1 remap. If you decide to go ahead, proceed with caution and choose a well-established tuner with proven expertise. Asked by: Shriram Despite a higher battery pack of 55kWh and a real range of 400kms, why are Tata Curvv EV sales less when compared to MG Windsor or Mahindra Born electric cars? The MG Windsor is a spacious car, packed with features, and offers better value for money than the Tata Curvv EV, largely due to its aggressive pricing. The MG Windsor price starts lower, making it more accessible to a wider range of buyers. The Tata Curvv EV is a stylish car with a coupe-like roofline and is positioned above the Nexon, with which it shares many components. However, the lack of interior differentiation compared to the Nexon, and the limited rear headroom due to the sloping roof, could be some of the reasons why it isn’t selling more, despite a larger 55kWh battery and a real-world range of 400km.
