To be straight, the 2025 EV rankings were quite surprising. Out of the top 5, most spots are occupied by just two companies. And Tata Nexon? It clearly stole the spotlight. It’s obvious now that Indian buyers no longer get swayed by just marketing or looks.
From my experience, buyers focus on practical things battery reliability, charging convenience, and durability. I still remember my first long drive in the Tata Nexon. The dashboard froze for a bit, and the air conditioning acted up occasionally. But the drive itself was smooth. That’s when I realized, this is the kind of EV that can handle both city streets and highways without giving buyers sleepless nights.

Two Companies Dominate the Top 5
Honestly, looking at these rankings, it’s clear the market is still very concentrated. Apart from Tata and Mahindra, other companies are struggling to make a dent in buyer preference. The Nexon wins because of its design, durability, and resale value. Other EVs are decent, but they lag behind in consistency and service.
Here’s a small story I spoke with a dealer who said, “People come here because of Nexon’s availability and service history; interest in other EVs is very low.” That stuck with me because it shows how much brand trust still matters.
Is Tata Nexon Really Ahead?
When it comes to range and battery performance, the company claims 400 km. I remember other models also claiming similar numbers but delivering only 320–350 km in real-world drives. The Nexon, however, gave a satisfactory experience in both city and highway conditions. Sure, minor glitches appear in the dashboard and software, but nothing that spoils the drive.
And another personal note I tried charging at a rural station once, and the network worked smoothly. Small things like this build buyer confidence, which explains why Nexon ranks at the top.
Changing Buyer Mindset
Now, buyers aren’t only looking at price or looks. Durability, software stability, and resale value are the main focus. Many buyers ask, “Will this car retain resale value after three years?” That’s why Tata Nexon and Mahindra EVs have an edge in the market.
The concentrated ranking shows that opportunities exist for growth, but only if companies offer consistent products and build trust. Brands that deliver reliably will survive in the long run.
Final Thoughts
To sum up, the 2025 EV rankings clearly show that Tata Nexon has won buyer confidence. But it’s also a warning for other companies—if service, durability, and real-world performance don’t match the hype, survival in this market will be tough.
So yes, the top 5 is dominated by just two companies, and Tata Nexon has truly become the crowd favorite. Buyers’ mindset is changing, and brands must step up to meet these expectations.
