Why I Bought the Mahindra XEV 9E<\/strong>
\nI have been working on a farm community near Kanpur for over five years. Every month I need to drive the 462\u202fkm from my home in Greater Noida to the farm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I chose my Mahindra XEV\u202f9E, I picked the 79\u202fkWh battery pack so I could reach the farm in one charge. Until now, I had not had the chance to test that claim, especially in the peak summer heat with the air\u2011conditioning on full blast.<\/p>\n

Setting Out on June\u202f13,\u202f2025<\/strong>
\nYesterday I set off from Greater Noida<\/a> at 8\u202fam with 92%t state of charge. It was already hot, and I knew the AC would be running the whole time. My passenger and I carried about 250\u202fkg of gear, so the load felt like a small transport carrier. I wanted to see if I could truly cover 462\u202fkm before stopping to charge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Highway Run<\/strong>
\nAlmost the entire trip was on highway. I joined the Yamuna Expressway and then the Agra-Lucknow Expressway. I kept a steady pace between 60 and 95 km per hour. The car\u2019s cruise mode helped me stay smooth on the long straights. It took me about seven hours of driving without a charge stop. Thanks to the ADAS and cruise features, I was able to have my meals peacefully while the car was driving on the expressways. No need to pause\u2014I simply enjoyed the journey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Real\u2011World Range and Cost<\/strong>
\nWhen I reached my farm, just 30\u202fkm outside Kanpur, the battery showed 16%t state of charge. That means I used 76%t of my battery to drive 462\u202fkm. The Mahindra XEV\u202f9E<\/a> still had roughly 100\u202fkm of range left. In practical terms that shows I can cover over 550\u202fkm on a single charge, even in extreme heat and under heavy load.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I charge at home overnight, and this trip cost me about Rs\u202f375 in electricity. At Rs\u202f0.81 per km, the running cost is unbeatable compared to petrol.<\/p>\n
