Altigreen, part of the JAKSON Group, has entered India's electric two-wheeler market with the Minsara, offered in S, S+ and SE variants from ₹1.24 lakh ex-showroom. The S has a 2.78 kWh battery and a claimed 125 km range, while the S+ has a 3.8 kWh battery and a claimed 165 km range. The SE uses a battery-swapping configuration with no capacity or range disclosed, bookings are open in Bengaluru, Vijayawada and Noida, and deliveries begin on 1 December 2026.
Why it matters
A utility two-wheeler aimed at delivery operators, small businesses and farmers adds a new source of demand for both charging and battery swapping in India. The swap-enabled SE variant is one for swapping network operators to watch, though battery specifications have yet to be disclosed.

Vauxhall has sold 102,852 electric vehicles in the UK as of October 2026, with the 100,000th sale a Grandland Electric 213PS Ultimate delivered by Drive Vauxhall Nuneaton. The brand reached 10,000 EV sales in 2021 and 50,000 in 2023, a tenfold rise in customer demand, and the Mokka Electric (more than 26,000 sales) and Corsa Electric (more than 23,000) lead its range of eight electric models. The figures come from Vauxhall's milestone announcement, which also cites its 2023 Electric Streets of Britain campaign inviting drivers to register the need for on-street charging.
Why it matters
A mass-market brand with over 100,000 UK EVs on the road points to a growing base of drivers, many in mainstream segments, who will need public and on-street charging. For CPOs and local authority procurement teams, the Electric Streets of Britain campaign is a signal of registered demand for on-street provision.
Mercedes-Benz India launches electric GLC from ₹78.5 lakh with over 1,000 bookings
Mercedes-Benz India has launched the electric GLC at an introductory ex-showroom price of ₹78.5 lakh, with more than 1,000 bookings taking its order book through March 2027. CEO Santosh Iyer said at the Pune launch that the company is seeking more assembly kits from its global leadership to raise local production and shorten waiting periods. The bookings carry an indicative retail value of over ₹785 crore including taxes, which is subject to final pricing and conversion into deliveries rather than recognised revenue.
Why it matters

Renault CEO warns European car output could halve after 2030 without EU action on Chinese competition
Renault chief executive François Provost told journalists in London, as reported by Reuters, that vehicle production in Europe could fall to half its historical average shortly after 2030 if the EU does not act to protect it. He cited a cost gap, saying Chinese manufacturers can import vehicles into Europe with costs 30% to 40% lower than European industrial players, a difference he considers impossible to close under current conditions. He is calling for measures to safeguard factories and jobs, with hundreds of thousands of roles across plants and suppliers at stake.
Why it matters
Pressure for EU trade or local content measures could reshape the supply of vehicles and components that charging demand forecasts depend on, and shift the mix between European and Chinese EV brands on the road. CPOs and procurement teams should watch how policy outcomes affect fleet electrification timelines, vehicle pricing and the sourcing of charging hardware.
