Updating the thread after a long time !
Second Major Service was done at 20000 kms in February 2024.
Apart from the regular services like
1. Gearoil Change
2. A/C Filter Change &
3. Battery Air Filter Change,
4. The cell balancing of the main battery was done since it is recommended at 5 years since the date of manufacture (which was end of 2018).

The battery was found to be in a good shape and the car was returned after service with a bill of 11000 Rupees.

There was an issue with the Key ring illumination system and it was changed under warranty. While changing it, the technicians at Mahindra damaged my immobilizer module and had to replace the whole Key and lock set to make it work again. (All was done under warranty).

Coming to February 2025, the vehicle has covered 23800 kms (3800 kms since the last year), Although the service interval is 20,000 kms or 2 years, I still sent it for a general inspection and washing to M&M Service.
The car is doing well and came back with a bill of 1350 Rs. & the next service is due at 40,000 Kms / February 2026.

Currently the vehicle is giving a range of 110-115 kms depending on the driving conditions with A/C.

End 2018 manufacture!! and I if I am right to assume that you bought it in 2018 or 19, the car looks in immaculate condition...right out of showroom...really impressive for a 6-7 year old car.

Hey rishabh, does the "gearoil" here refer to a gearbox? If yes, I think this is maybe the first time I'm reading about one on an ev!

Also it's a rare thing to see a well maintained verito, great job on it.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot, the car was bought in September 2021, and there are other cars in the household so the usage is limited.

Thanks a lot for the appreciation, Yes this is one EV which uses transmission / Gear oil which needs replacement every 20,000 Kms and there is no filter change involved with it.

Here is a copy of the owners manual and the link which also indicates the same. https://owner-manual.withyouhamesha....-E-VERITO.html

After spending 3 years and 7 months in my garage, its finally time to say goodbye to my first EV.






The vehicle was always charged at home (apart from 3-4 instances of public charging) and covered 24,214 Kilometers and consumed 4944.3 Kilowatts of energy.




This translates to an efficiency of 4.9 Km/kWh, which means a running cost of 1.33 Rupees/Kilometers (Electricity price : 6.5 rupees/kWh)

There were a lot of learnings about how EV cars work by using this vehicle.
Wishing happy miles ahead to the new owner who will be using it for regular city commutes.

Would love to hear about anything unexpected that you learnt about owning and driving an EV. Something that no one told you before, perhaps.

The biggest thing was how important the Auxiliary 12V battery was.
This car had Li Ion Auxiliary 12V battery which was having a life of 24 months at max.
When replaced by the ASS, they offered the same for ~6500 INR and gave a 6 month warranty. My advisor suggested me to get it from outside as it was cheaper (~3000 INR) and also came with a 1 year warranty.

As soon as the battery went below 12V (Even a minimal .2 volt), the vehicle suddenly give random warnings like
1. Warm Up Battery,
2. Communication Error etc.
which was scary initially, but later I understood the reason of a weak battery.
