Which EVs Are Available With BaaS Scheme?

Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) is fast becoming a popular way to buy an EV in India, letting buyers pay a lower upfront price and a per-km battery rental instead of owning the battery outright.

Ten electric cars currently offer this scheme, with BaaS prices starting from roughly ₹4.69 lakh for the Tata Tiago EV and going up to around ₹15.94 lakh for the top-spec Kia Carens Clavis EV, while battery rentals range from ₹2.26 to ₹4.50 per km.

Here's a complete breakdown of every EV with BaaS pricing in India.

It is offered with 42 kWh and 51.4 kWh battery packs, with the larger unit delivering up to 510 km of range. The smaller pack pairs with a 133 bhp motor, while the larger version gets a 169 bhp motor capable of a 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.9 seconds.

Hyundai has also added integrated side foot steps and a 7.4 kW wall box charger with HC variants. DC fast charging takes the battery from 10-80% in 39 minutes.
