The government has started purchasing the Hyundai Kona Electric vehicle. This is despite the fact that the Kona cost significantly more than the other Tata and Mahindra Electric cars. This only goes to prove that if the specifications are right even the government which only goes with the lowest bidder can deviate from that approach. The Kona travels about 450 kms in a single charge and can be charged upto 80 percent within 1 hour when connected to a high-power DC Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Station.
