Tyres for electric vehicles need to be different. After all, they will be fitted onto high-tech vehicles that are emission free, and the tyres need to live up to that standard as well. In doing so, a lot of research has gone into making EV tyres deliver such optimal performance.

Electric vehicles in India have surged in the last five years, but the sector is still at a nascent stage with only a handful of manufacturers in the four wheeler segment offering fully-electric vehicles in their portfolio. Amongst the leaders in the mass segment is Tata Motors, while high-end manufacturers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have at least 2-3 pure electric offerings. The good news is that EVs are here to stay and with the Government providing the right impetus, EV adoption is happening at a brisk pace. However, there are challenges that EVs face, and constant development is the need of the hour.

The world is changing and as we move towards cleaner and greener solutions, we can stop fretting and embrace the change, for EVs are fun machines that offer a totally different level of excitement and capabilities. It is about time that we bust the most common myths around EVs.

BMW India recently launched the all-new i4 here in India. This is the first luxury midsize sedan in the country to get an all-electric powertrain and it joins the range of growing luxury EVs in the country. Know what is more to this new edition from BMW.
