My Mahindra XEV 9e: Why I feel this EV is perfect for long road trips

The general EV rule to leave charging station at 80% doesn't apply much to these cars.

BHPian purohitanuj recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Did a 880km highway trip over weekend with full family of 5+2 and packed luggage. Destination: Rajasthan with temps around 42c. Family was super comfortable and sleeping most of the time.

Leg 1: 436 KMs done on highway in 74% Soc. Did charge 13kwh in a 16 min quick coffee take away break. Drive was in Power Saving mode at 85-90km/hr speed. Average trip speed is around 55km/hr, which is very decent for NH. Total trip 879km.

The car can easily cross 500km on highway runs below 100km/hr speeds in 1 full charge!

I did 436 kms with 16% SoC remaining , which would mean around 560km of full 0 to 100% SoC drive.

Few quick 20mins DCFC can result into over 1000km of distance in 1 day easily.

The car is super quick in DCFC. 22Kw at 98%!! The general EV rule to leave charging station at 80% doesn't apply much to these cars.

Speeds, which I was maintaining.

These are the EVs we all were waiting for!
