The electric vehicle movement is slowly on the rise in the Indian automobile space and brands like MG (Morris Garage), Tata Motors, Ather, Ola, and others are rapidly widening their portfolio. There’s also a noticeable change in perception among the general consumers that electric vehicles are going to be the future and are understanding their benefits. Realising the shift in user habits, Pune-based Northway Motorsport has launched an innovative kit that, when connected with a combustion engine car, will convert it into an electric car and run on electricity instead of petrol and diesel. The kit is named Bharatiya Electric Vehicles EV Kit. Interestingly, the Northway Motorsport kit can only convert Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire into an electric car at the moment.
