The EVX - expected to go on sale in 2025 - will be the first pure EV from the Japanese carmaker. Indians bought close to 50,000 electric cars in 2022 accounting for 1% of total cars sold. As of now, the electric passenger vehicle (PV) market is dominated by Tata Motors which sees 8-9% of its PV sales coming from EVs. Suzuki said the company has chosen to develop an "exclusive EV" as opposed to electrifying existing models.
