PMV EaS-E
The PMV EaS-E is a two-seat electric micro-hatchback priced from Rs 4,79,000 ex-showroom, making it the least expensive electric car sold in India today. It runs a 10 kWh battery good for an ARAI-claimed 160 km per charge (there's no independently tested real-world figure yet), and it's built for slow, short city errands rather than any distance driving - its 70 kmph top speed and roughly 13 PS motor rule out highways entirely.
Is the PMV EaS-E right for you?
Best for
- A second car for short city errands, school runs, and last-mile trips close to home
- Single or couple households who don't need rear seats or serious boot space
- Buyers with home AC charging access, since there is no DC fast-charging option at all
- First-time EV shoppers who want the lowest possible entry price to try electric ownership
Think twice if
- Families or anyone needing more than two seats, or more than a 30-litre boot
- Highway or intercity driving - the 70 kmph top speed and ~13 PS motor aren't built for it
- Anyone who needs a quick top-up on the go; charging is AC-only, under 4 hours for a full charge, with no DC fast-charging
- Buyers counting on the full 160 km ARAI figure day to day - it's an untested claimed number, and the small pack plus low-power motor mean actual range is likely well short of it

Charging and living with it
Charging: 0-100% in under 4 hours on a regular AC wall charger; no DC fast charging. Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. Charging is a home-AC-only routine - plan on plugging in overnight or during the day, since there's no fast-charging fallback if you're caught low on range away from home.
5-year cost of ownership
Based on 40 km/day, the PMV EaS-E EaS-E costs about ₹1,600/month to run versus ₹8,400/month for a comparable petrol car, a saving of ₹82,733/year at July 2026 prices.
| Monthly | Annual | 5-year | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | ₹8,400 | ₹1,02,200 | ₹5,11,000 |
| EV | ₹1,600 | ₹19,467 | ₹97,335 |
| You save | ₹6,800 | ₹82,733 | ₹4,13,665 |
Assumes 15 km/l petrol, 6 km/kWh EV, ₹105/l petrol and ₹8/kWh electricity, 40 km/day. Figures as of July 2026.
Strengths
- Lowest entry price of any electric car in India
- Compact footprint makes city parking and manoeuvring easy
- AC wall-charging fills the small pack in under four hours at home
- Surprisingly well equipped for the price (touchscreen, rear camera, keyless entry)
Watch-outs
- Only two seats and 30-litre boot limit practicality
- 70 kmph top speed and modest ~13 PS motor unsuited to highways
- No DC fast charging
- Real-world range likely well below the highest claimed figure

FAQ
How far will the PMV EaS-E actually go on a charge?
PMV claims 160 km per charge on the ARAI test cycle from the 10 kWh battery. That number hasn't been independently tested in real-world driving, and given the small pack and low-power motor, treat it as an upper limit - expect meaningfully less on a typical day of city stop-start use with the AC running.
How long does charging take, and can I fast-charge it?
There's no DC fast charging on the EaS-E at all. It charges only from a regular AC wall socket, going from empty to full in under 4 hours. That makes it an overnight-or-daytime home charger rather than a car you top up on the way somewhere.
Which variant should I buy?
There's only one: the EaS-E itself, at Rs 4,79,000 ex-showroom with the 10 kWh battery and roughly 13 PS motor. There's no trim ladder to compare, so the real question is whether the car's limits - 2 seats, 30-litre boot, 70 kmph top speed - fit how you'll actually use it.
What's the running cost like day to day?
A 10 kWh pack is cheap to fill at home even on a standard domestic tariff, so per-km running costs should undercut a petrol vehicle by a wide margin. Long-term service costs are still unproven, since this is a very new, low-volume model without much ownership history yet.
Is it worth it compared to a proper electric car or a scooter?
At Rs 4,79,000, it undercuts every other electric car in India on price, sitting closer to a premium electric scooter in cost. Choose it only if you specifically want a car-shaped cabin and easy city parking for strictly local trips; for highway capability, more seats, or a bigger boot, a full-size electric hatchback is worth the extra spend.
