Pune to Patna - Total distance around 1900KM.
Total charging stops - 5.
Time taken - 37 hours.
Charging stops without food break - 0.
"EVs can't do long distance trips in India."
"EVs are city cars only"
Me, after 2 1500+ kms and a 3095 km trip later: 💀
Just did Bangalore → Raipur → Bangalore - 3095 kms. 16 charging stops.
My Nexon EV 45kWh just made it look easy.
₹9,269.58 total. ₹2.99/km.
Your petrol car costs DOUBLE/TRIPLE this.
But sure, keep saying EVs "aren't ready."
The car is ready. The network is almost there.
Only folks who are not ready are people spreading negativity.🔋

Good for competition, right time for new CRV
NEWS | Toyota RAV4 production cuts are squeezing dealer inventories and threatening sales momentum:
Toyota's U.S. dealers have roughly four days' supply of RAV4s, forcing some buyers to order months in advance while others turn to alternative vehicles.
The crunch traces back to last fall, when Toyota kept building 2025 RAV4 models well into the fourth quarter, delaying retooling for the all-new 2026 model.
RAV4 sales are down 29% this year, with 253,664 deliveries through September, as North American production fell 30%, per AutoForecast Solutions.
"It has certainly put us in a little bit of a hole to dig out of," said Damon Rose, Toyota's North America sales chief.
Looking ahead: Toyota's factories in Canada and Kentucky are running at full capacity, producing more than 30,000 RAV4 units a month as the automaker seeks to overtake GM in U.S. sales.

Eye opener post for Diesel vs Hybrid 👀
“Forget Diesel Go Hybrid” That’s what, Duster Hybrid Tagline States 🫡
let’s dissect that claim with real world figures & whether duster really stands tall to that claim 🧐⤵️
To study the above claim we at Team @BeBoldEV dug deep to find the real world efficiency figures variants price of both the powertrains from trusted sources over web like TeamBhp, Autocar, Carwale.
Duster’s efficiency figures are determined as per somewhat similar tech used in other parts of world (Duster internationally used 1.6L opposed to 1.8L which is used in newly launched Duster Hybrid)
Whole research is mentioned in the detailed cards designed for easy readability & understanding as per 3 usecase mentioned below :
1) City Heavy
2) Mix Use
3) Highway Heavy
In all three scenarios you will be surprised to know that duster has gone toe to toe with diesel automatic in efficiency & is slightly better than diesel in city in contrary to belief that it will be miles apart & that is mainly due to diesel being 12% cheaper per liter than petrol.
@RenaultIndia has really lived upto to its tagline here by being cheaper on paper in ex.showroom cost & providing almost similar cost of running in all 3 scenarios.
Note :Some states also offers road tax waiver for hybrids, that further brings down Renault duster’s price by around 1.2-1.5 lakhs & due to growing pollution control mandates, going for diesel Creta don’t make sense until & unless you are diesel head & want ADAS, 360 CAM, Auto Dimming IRVMS present in Creta Diesel
Hope you loved reading our analysis 🧐

Duster Hybrid’s tagline states
“Forget Diesel Go Hybrid” ⛽️🔋
However, The tagline is questionable for highway use case 🛣️
Read More Below ⤵️
➡️ Diesel Use-Case in City & highway :
✅ Mileage
In city diesel’s are laggards as it provides close to 11-13 KMPL. However, on highways that mileage shoots upto 21-22 KMPL, which is impressive.
✅Ownership
BS6 Phase 2 Diesel’s flame DPF issues if they are city driven, biggest drawback of diesels
Limited life for Diesel’s for Delhi Buyers
➡️ Hybrid’s Use-Case in City & Highway :
✅ Mileage :
In city strong hybrid’s perform excellent providing 21-25 KMPL in real world figures
However, they are laggard as they provide close to 18-19 KMPL
✅ Ownership :
Hybrids relieves you from 10 year ban , DPF headaches & also provides road tax concessions in UP, Chandigarh 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Conclusion :
✅Don’t forget Diesel if you are Heavy highway runner
(Except NCR people- Sadly forget the Diesel)
✅Forget Diesel & Go Hybrid if you are heavy City runner
Note : Pricing will be Key deciding factor 🔑

SELTOS sales nearly doubled with new one
If there were an award for nailing a facelift, it would hands down go to the Kia Seltos. 🏆
Jan–Sep sales surged 88% YoY:
50,634 → 95,188
Petrol: 29,376 → 62,824 (+114%)
Diesel: 21,258 → 32,364 (+52%)
My take: the upgraded cabin, 4.5m length, and 5-star safety rating made it a strong all-round update.
What do you think drove this surge?
