EV (Electric vehicle) One of the main reasons behind the increase in sales is the fear of possible price hikes in the future.

Corporate strategy

As the financial year draws to a close, companies often announce special offers and discounts to meet their annual sales goals. This gives consumers an opportunity to purchase EVs at a more affordable price.
