How practical are EVs for regular Salem–Erode driving?
I'm researching EV ownership in Western Tamil Nadu, especially for people who regularly travel between Salem, Sankari, Perundurai and Erode.
I'm curious about the real-world experience of EV owners in this region.
- How does EV range perform during Salem/Erode summer heat?
- Is home charging enough for regular Salem–Erode highway travel?
- How useful is regenerative braking on hilly routes like Yercaud?
- How easy is it to find reliable public charging along NH 544?
- For someone driving around 1,000–1,500 km per month, how does the running cost compare with petrol?
I recently put together a detailed guide covering EV models, charging, range, running costs and driving conditions around Salem and Erode.
