Tata Motors, Mahindra beat Tesla-BYD to top global EV ranking: Social media quips, ‘Alto more efficient than Ferrari’
Indian EV manufacturers Tata Motors and Mahindra topped a global energy-efficiency ranking, surpassing 20 other automakers, including Tesla and BYD.
Indian automakers Tata Motors and Mahindra have outperformed global giants Tesla and BYD in a new energy efficiency ranking. The ICCT's Global Automaker Rating report measured electricity consumption in watt-hours per kilometre, with Indian makers topping the list. Tata Motors scored highest at 100, followed by Mahindra with 89.
Tesla scored 79, while BYD scored 69. However, this does not necessarily mean Indian EVs are the best, as factors like driving range and sales share also play a role. India's representation in the report is stronger due to Mahindra's inclusion. Social media reactions have been largely negative, with many questioning the comparison to other vehicles.
