Mumbai — In a country where the only thing faster than a morning chai disappearing is the pace of EV adoption, Mahindra has hit the accelerator hard—delivering over 3,000 units of its all-electric Origin SUVs, the XEV 9e and BE 6, in just 20 days since launch on March 20.
Yes, you read that right. Over 3,000 new EV owners are now cruising silently past petrol pumps, grinning smugly with a full charge and zero tailpipe emissions.
Pack Three Takes the Wheel
While both models have seen strong demand, it’s the fully-loaded “Pack Three” variant that’s stealing the electric spotlight. Current booking stats show 59% of customers going for the XEV 9e and 41% choosing the BE 6—likely because they like their EVs like they like their festivals: fully decked out. With the top variants flying off the shelves (or charging docks, more accurately), Mahindra has found itself with a healthy backlog and a slightly overwhelmed logistics team.
Meet the ‘Default’ Mode: EV for Dummies (Lovingly)
To ease nervous first-time EV buyers into this brave new world, Mahindra has rolled out a ‘Default’ driving mode. Think of it as a digital comfort blanket. This setting mimics the feel of a traditional petrol car—perfect for those still haunted by memories of trying to reverse park a Maruti 800 uphill in traffic. The goal? Make the shift from gas to volts feel like you never left the gas station… minus the fumes and wallet damage.
YouTube University for EV Owners
And because no one reads manuals anymore, each Origin SUV is delivered with a playlist of video guides. These aren’t your average dull tutorials—expect helpful walkthroughs, range-boosting hacks, and maybe the occasional smooth jazz soundtrack. From charging rituals to eco-driving kung fu, Mahindra wants its EV owners informed, empowered, and hopefully, not stranded on the expressway with 2% battery.
Electric Dreams Meet Desi Reality
With waiting periods stretching up to six months in some regions, Mahindra is now ramping up deliveries like a vada pav vendor during peak hours. This milestone is more than just a number—it’s a powerful signal that India is ready to plug in, switch gears, and embrace sustainable mobility with open arms (and charging ports).
So, whether you’re a tech-savvy trailblazer or just tired of diesel prices making you cry harder than your last breakup, Mahindra’s Origin SUVs might just be your ticket to a cleaner, cooler commute.
India, get ready to go full charge ahead. The future just beeped.
