The Tata Nano is a revolutionary car for its simplicity and price. The three-cylinder, small wheeled car costs just over $2,000, and has opened the car market in India to millions of people. The next cheapest car for sale in India, the Maruti 800, costs almost $4,000. It is cheap, efficient transportation. Unfortunately, it still runs on gas, and the extra cost and limited range of electric vehicles aren’t likely to catch on anytime soon in India.
But Europe is already well along the path to electric cars and Tata has chosen to take advantage of that fact. At the Geneva Auto Show, Tata unveiled an electric E-Nano concept that they say will sell in Europe within three years.
