Upcoming Luxury Electric Cars in India

Launch dates and prices below are estimates reported in September 2026:

  • Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric — expected around the end of 2026.
  • Audi A6 e-tron and e-tron GT facelift — Audi currently has no EV on sale in India; both are expected next, with the Q6 e-tron to follow in 2027.
  • BMW iX3 — expected early 2027, estimated at ₹65–70 lakh.
  • Volvo EX60 and Tesla Model 3 — both tentatively expected in 2027.

Charging a Luxury EV in India

Most luxury EVs now come with a home wallbox (typically 7–11 kW AC), which is enough to charge fully overnight. On the road, the gap between models shows up in DC fast-charging speed: the Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Mercedes CLA Electric can accept 320–350 kW, while many others peak between 130 and 230 kW. In practice, the speed you get is also limited by the charger itself.

EarthtronEV operates DC fast-charging stations across Delhi–NCR and on highways including Murthal and Shimla — see all our charging locations. For home charging, see EV charging for homes and apartments.
