For years we've all been hearing about how electric cars are the future. No emissions, no loud noises, instant torque and acceleration — it all sounds good, right? Too good, actually; except, maybe the noise. I like the noise, but that's a story for another day.
Here's Why Electric Cars Are Not The Future!
So when I got the chance to drive the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 – an all-electric, absolutely gorgeous and very fast car, I was excited. I mean, sure, I've driven the Mercedes EQS before for an Instagram reel (see it here ), but it was a very expensive car, and I only drove it for a few hours – not exactly a real-life test.
Well, then the IONIQ 5 would be my very first real experience with an electric car, and over the past few days I've been going through various stages of thought about the IONIQ and electric cars in general. Through all this I have realized that India is still not ready for EVs.
Let's start with step 1 – the tension. On the day of delivery I was excited. So much so that I could hardly focus on any other task. After hours of annoying my friend who handled the discussion with Hyundai about the car and having him check when the car would arrive almost every hour since the start of the day, I finally found out that the IONIQ was only about 10 minutes away from our office .
