Instead of being diesel like virtually all its rivals, the Tank 500 is electrified via a petrol-electric hybrid powertrain. With the Lux priced at $66,490 and the Ultra at $73,990 drive-away, the Tank 500 is certainly affordable by the standards of the class and it also gets plenty of gear. It’s a combination of a 2.0-litre SCORE: 3.5/5

Petrol vehicles also saw a relative sales surge ahead of increased emissions taxes. PHEV’s relatively low share was not due to their fall in volume, rather that the volume of BEVs and petrol vehicles were much higher than usual. Petrol vehicle volumes were 4x to 5x recent seasonal norms.

We did not go in for mix mode because we wanted to find out what is the maximum juice that can be extracted out of the pack. Even petrol vehicles are prone to fires, even after a hundred years of engineering. But I guess with the larger battery, Ather could afford to let go of a few wh per km.

It was only around 15 years ago that EVs could barely travel 50 miles before running out of juice. This is in contrast to petrol and diesel cars, which will have progressively lower resale values as we move towards 2030 when new sales will be banned. Affordable. No depreciation worries.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles.
