evo India Podcast

 With the Hyundai Kona being launched in India, we talk about the future of electric mobility in this country. The Kona is India's first long-range EV and first electric SUV too, but is it the right time to be launching something like that? We also take a look at the genesis of the electric car in India, and how it was kicked off by Chetan Maini and the ambitious Reva project. Interestingly, the Reva is still around in some way with the Mahindra e2o. Could we have anticipated that electric vehicles would have snowballed in to what they are today? The Ed gives us his thoughts.  Before cars go fully mainstream, we're probably going to see the rise of the electric scooter. Ather already has a solid product, but now manufacturers have to get over the challenges and distribution. And finally, we bid goodbye to the Volkswagen Beetle as the final one rolls of the line in Mexico.

 In Episode #1, we give you a low down on the price of the new Hyundai Venue, the new special edition Aston Martin OHMSS, doing 300kmph in a Ferrari, an update from the mega India Diamond Trail road trip we are attempting, our views on the Suzuki Gixxer 250, and a bit on the losses the motorsport community has faced in the last week the the passing away of Niki Lauda and Nazir Hoosein.
