While the electric powertrain was offered at a premium price point at the early stage, the Battery as a Service (BaaS) option made EVs more affordable and now, electric cars are at par with entry-level petrol cars too. The MG Comet EV was the most affordable electric car in the country till yesterday, but the country now has a new entry-level EV, which is not just more affordable but also provides more range. Let’s take a look at the 2026 Tata Tiago EV facelift, which has become the most affordable electric car in the country.
