XEV 9S insurance coverage. Please advise.

Hello everyone,

My dealer has given me this insurance quote for 3+3 from IndusInd for XEV 9S. Can you please review this quote and let me know if any important coverage is missing that I must add without fail? I will be first time EV owner, so still learning all the EV related stuff.

I don't mind paying bit extra insurance premium upfront. In fact, I myself asked for 3+3. Because I want to be stress free after buying my first EV.

Please advise. Thank you 😊

Should I purchase XEV9S with my running low?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some feedback on the XEV9S Pack 3. I’m based in Mumbai and currently drive a 2016 XUV500 Diesel AT with only 49,500 km on the clock. Since my daily running is very low, the usual EV drawbacks like range anxiety aren't a dealbreaker for me. I mainly want to upgrade for the tech and the updated platform. Does the XEV9S make sense for a low-usage owner? Would appreciate your thoughts!

Battery issue ?

I’ve a new XEV 9s pack 3 above. My city range is between 250-300 on an average. Considering mostly my trip sizes are small (a trip of less than 5 km). My daily travel is somewhere around 30-50 km per day. Is this normal or an indication of faulty battery ?

Booking XEV 9S, Dealer quote & negotiation scope

Hi Folks,

Above are the quotes I’ve got from my local Mahindra dealer (Thane, Maharashtra) for XEV 9S & 9E. We’re inclined towards the 9S Pack2 79kWh, and likely to book it in the coming days. Before that, I want to work out a few final details and see if there’s any scope to negotiate.

Essential Costs (Blue Highlighted in Dealer Sheet)

• These are mandatory and have very little scope for negotiation as far as I understand.

• Forms the base total that you can’t really avoid.

Optional / Add Ons

This is where the dealer has added extras, and where negotiation or opting out is possible:

• Insurance: Dealer agreed to match outside insurance quote. I’m leaning towards outside insurance unless inclusions match exactly.

• Essential Accessories: Dealer provided.

• Charger: Dealer quote includes it, but I might skip and go aftermarket (Statiq or other brands). Would love to hear thoughts on this.

Grand Total

• The dealer’s sheet was messy, so I tried to simplify it.

• Blue = unavoidable.

• Rest = optional, can be sourced outside.

• The grand total is what you actually end up paying depending on which optional items you accept.

Ask

• Based on the quote, do you see any scope to negotiate further?

• Any strong reason to stick with dealer insurance vs outside?

• Is skipping the dealer charger and going aftermarket a good idea?

P.S. Sorry if the Excel looks complicated, trust me, I simplified it compared to what the dealer gave me (that one made me want to rip my hair out).

Any clarifications needed, let me know and I’ll edit the post.

OC.

Edit: 10 May, old car deal is done with the same dealer. Booked XEV 9S pack 2 above 79kwh.

Need advice: getting only 430 km range with 79 kWh battery

Hi, I am getting only 430 km range for my XEV 9S, and I wanted to understand if I need to any changes.

Here are the details:
Car: XEV 9S, Pack 3 Above, 79 kWh
Modes: Range and Everyday. I am using Range whenever my speed is below 60 kmph, for city driving and on internal roads. And I use Everyday for the Highway driving.
Climate: I keep the AC on throughout, 'auto' mode, temperature set to 20, fan at 3
I keep DRL on too.

I have only driven 600 km so far. Today, after a 230km drive spanning city traffic, internal roads and highways, I ended up with 46% of battery, yielding the 430km range figure.

Please let me know if 430km is typical. Is there anything I should change about my driving or modes etc.?

Planning to cancel my Seltos and book a XEV9S

Hey, I have already booked Kia Seltos but planning to cancel it and go for a XEV9S due to multiple reasons.

  1. Seltos is taking 12 weeks to deliver, not sure how long does XEV9S is taking

  2. with recent announcement regarding war and PM saying that reduce petrol and switch to electric. I feel it’s going to come as a long lasting problem. Probably better to switch to electric.

My running is very low so I’m not sure about the battery. Running is approx 500km a month. Please advice?

Details:

Ghaziabad-Nainital

7 people with luggage in both trunk and frunk.

AC at 23 and passenger ventilation on.

Average speeds at 70-80 km/h. (both ways) (tad bit of spirited driving here and there)

Charged the car at 30% and added 65% in 1 hr 5 mins with a 60 kW Chargezone charger at Haldwani (do note that initially the charger shared power with a Harrier EV as well). Costed 1300 Rs incl taxes.

Reached Nainital at 65% (unreasonably heavy traffic, btw).

Didn't charge it while returning since the car gained 7% charge going downhill. (Efficiency reached 29 km/kW)

Reached home at 20%

Feel free to ask questions!

Need help in choosing colour..

I have booked Pack 3 and yet to take delivery. I'm confused between white and ruby velvet. I used to own a white sub 4m SUV and I'm exchanging it now.

Please suggest based on your opinion. BTW, most of the colours offered looks almost completely dark in tone.

Does anyone has an update on the delivery for xev 9s packone. I have booked the 59 kwh pack and the dealer has just said that it will take 4-5 months for the delivery. I had asked them to provide me with a delivery tracking to which they said they cant track it due to mahindra itself not allowing. Is it true? BTW booked it from bhavna mahindra nerul.

Does anyone know how much commission does a sales consultant stand to make from let’s say a sale of XEV 9S and from selling accessories and insurance? My sales guy has been very supportive and since I am opting for no accessories, my own insurance, I want to understand how much money does he stand to lose? I may consider rewarding him via a monetary ‘thank you’ gesture at he time of delivery. Thanks.
