Triton EV Plans To Launch Electric Car In India This Year – To Rival Tesla

With growing interest in electric cars in India, a number of products have been launched in recent times.
After Tata Nexon EV, Tigor EV, Hyundai Kona, and MG ZS EV, world’s leading EV manufacturer Tesla has also set up its office in India. We are also witnessing a number of startups in this space, who are currently working on their respective prototypes.

Triton-EV N4
The newest entrant is American company Triton-EV that has announced plans to launch its first product in the Indian market. Named N4, the electric sedan will be rivalling Tesla Model 3 in the Indian market. However, N4 will be a lot cheaper at a starting price of Rs 35 lakh. In comparison, Tesla Model 3 is expected to be launched in India at around Rs 50 lakh. Pre-bookings for Triton-EV N4 sedan are currently open at the company’s website.

From a visual perspective, Triton-EV N4 looks futuristic with its aerodynamic, fluid design. Some of the key features include sleek headlamps with DRLs, blacked-out grille with Triton logo, sporty red accents on the front bumper, sculpted bonnet, edgy rear tail lamps and stylish rear bumper. However, the car’s design is currently in development phase. So, production variant could be different from what we can see right now.

Triton-EV N4 will be produced in USA and there will be a total of four variants on offer. A high-performance GT edition will also be launched, which will be limited to just 100 units. For the Indian market, the company is looking to collaborate with Bharat Electronics Ltd. If the deal goes through, the two companies can work together to develop electronic systems and batteries for N4 and other EVs planned for the Indian market. It is to note that Triton EV is a subsidiary of New Jersey based Triton Solar, a leading player in solar panels, battery technology and portable lighting. The company caters to renewable energy requirements of both households and enterprises.

Triton plans to hire 5000-10000 people over the next year, looking to invest around $650 million to $1 billion in setting up a manufacturing facility in India.
The company has been actively recruiting and posting jobs on its LinkedIn page. The company, in a written response, said they are looking to hire graduates in the automotive industry for segments such as mechanical, IT, Artificial intelligence, and Internet of things. "They could be engineering grads, diploma holders and technical people," the company said.

Sorry, but have they really showed any concept cars? They were accepting bookings just by showing sketches of the car. Also, their official website seems really weird.
