Vayve Mobility, a forward-thinking automaker, has unveiled Eva, India’s first solar electric car, at an introductory price starting from Rs 3.25 lakh (ex-showroom). The highly anticipated launch marks a significant step towards the company’s commitment to making the nation’s transportation more sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly. Eva is now available for pre-booking at a nominal cost of Rs 5,000, with deliveries expected in the latter half of 2026. The car is currently being showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, which runs from January 17 to 22.
Eva is offered in three variants, each equipped with varying battery capacities: 9 kWh, 12 kWh, and 18 kWh, with prices ranging from Rs 3.25 lakh to Rs 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom). In addition to flexible battery subscription options, Vayve Mobility is providing special perks to the first 25,000 customers, including an extended battery warranty and three years of complimentary vehicle connectivity.
Designed as a slim, efficient 2-seater city car, Eva is perfectly suited for India’s dense urban environments, where space and traffic congestion are ongoing challenges. It is set to redefine the urban commute experience, offering a premium, eco-friendly solution for city driving. The vehicle’s compact design makes it an ideal second car, bringing convenience and enjoyment back to everyday urban mobility.
Eva stands out as a groundbreaking product, blending affordability, sustainability, and practicality. With features such as liquid battery cooling, a panoramic glass sunroof, Apple CarPlay™ & Android Auto™, a speed-sensing door lock, and a chill box, Eva offers a premium driving experience that doesn’t compromise on functionality. Its impressive real-world range of 250 kilometres per charge makes it an ideal choice for daily city commutes, offering unrivalled convenience.
Nilesh Bajaj, Chief Executive Officer of Vayve Mobility, expressed his excitement about the launch, stating, “Eva isn’t just a car; it’s a revolution in how we at Vayve Mobility think about automobiles and energy. It represents India’s, and our, commitment to innovation, sustainability, and energy independence. It’s our answer to the challenges of climate change, energy reliance, and urban pollution—issues that will especially resonate with eco-conscious consumers.”
The synergy between Eva’s solar panels and electric motor is the result of years of research, which has led to the integration of advanced hardware and intelligent software. Saurabh Mehta, Chief Technology Officer at Vayve Mobility, explained, “Our goal was to offer an extended range without compromising on performance, and Eva does exactly that. The combination of solar power and electric drive ensures an exceptional driving experience, while addressing India’s pressing environmental concerns.”
With a top speed of 70 km/h and an industry-best turning radius, Eva is designed for the dynamic nature of city driving. It accelerates from 0 to 40 km/h in just 5 seconds, offering a peppy and responsive ride. Eva’s running cost is another highlight, with an incredibly low cost of Rs 0.5 per kilometre, a fraction of the Rs 5 per kilometre cost typically associated with petrol hatchbacks. This impressive efficiency is made possible by Eva’s lighter weight and smaller size.
Additionally, Eva offers up to 3,000 km of free solar charging with an optional solar roof, which covers up to 30% of a typical city commuter’s annual driving need. This unique feature further enhances the car’s environmental and economic benefits, making it one of the most cost-effective and sustainable vehicles in the market today.
Vayve Mobility’s innovations with Eva are set to transform the automotive industry, offering a glimpse into a future where electric vehicles redefine what is possible in terms of energy efficiency, performance, and sustainability. Through its cutting-edge technology and commitment to solving global challenges, Vayve Mobility is poised to lead the charge in the next phase of India’s automotive evolution.
