Who writes this
Suman K
Every guide on this site is researched and written against the same checklist, then checked against manufacturer specification sheets and published incentive rules before it goes live. Where a number is an estimate, we say so and show the assumption behind it.
How we keep this useful
- Fixed criteria. Every model in a category is judged on the same points, so scores stay comparable.
- Sources shown. Range, efficiency, and incentive figures link back to the official source.
- Commercial links marked. Affiliate links are labelled and disclosed before you click, not buried at the bottom.
- Updated, not abandoned. Guides carry a visible date and get revised when prices or rules change.
Owners answer the questions specs cannot
Rated range and real range are different numbers, and the gap only shows up in daily use. We are building a space for owners in both markets to share what their cars actually do in winter, in traffic, and after a few years on the battery.

All FAQsIs EVs Mirror independent, or are you paid by manufacturers?
We are independent. No manufacturer or retailer pays for coverage, placement, or a better score. The site is funded by affiliate commissions on some outbound product links, which are labelled and disclosed before you click.
Do you cover both the US and Indian markets?
Yes. Pricing, incentives, charging infrastructure, and model availability differ substantially between the two, so guides state which market a figure applies to rather than averaging them together.
How do you calculate running costs?
We use published battery capacity and efficiency figures, current electricity tariffs, and a stated annual mileage assumption. Every calculator and cost guide shows the assumptions used, so you can substitute your own numbers.
How often are guides updated?
Guides carry a visible publication or revision date. Anything tied to pricing, tax credits, or incentive rules gets revisited when those rules change, because those are the figures that go stale fastest.
Do you physically test the vehicles you write about?
Not currently. Our guides are research led: we work from manufacturer specifications, published test data, regulatory filings, and owner reported figures, and we say so rather than implying first hand track testing we have not done.
How do I suggest a topic or correct an error?
Use the contact form. Corrections are welcome and we would rather fix a number than defend it, so please include the source you are working from.
