While India isn’t an electric market yet, Maruti Suzuki has already announced plans to launch an electric car – the new Wagon R in India by 2020.
Considering an already lower cost for the base car and even lower GST rates for electric cars, the K-ZE will be a low cost electric car that the country is looking for and will have.
