Japanese Carmakers Hesitant on Small EVs in India Amid Cost Concerns

Big car companies from Japan, like Suzuki and Honda, are making small electric cars, but they are not sure if people in India will buy them.

This is because electric cars are still too expensive for most Indians who prefer cheaper small cars.

The batteries for electric cars cost a lot of money, and many of them come from China.

Even though the government is trying to make electric cars more popular, people in India worry about how far the cars can go and if they can find places to charge them easily.

While Indian electric scooter companies are selling many small electric scooters, the car companies think it's better to focus on bigger electric cars or cars that use regular gasoline for now.

They believe that once the cost of batteries goes down and charging gets easier, they might consider selling small electric cars in India.
