India's First Electric Car (1993) Was NOT a Recent Invention!
Did you know India launched its first electric car way back in 1993? Meet the Love Bird - a forgotten innovation that predates the modern EV revolution.
🚗 India’s First Electric Car Was NOT a Recent Invention!
What if we told you that India’s electric vehicle journey began way before the EVs we know today? 💡
Long before Teslas and Tatas began dominating electric dreams, a tiny, quirky car made its silent debut on Indian roads.
Meet the Forgotten Pioneer: The "Love Bird"
In 1993, an electric car called Love Bird was launched in India - yes, 1993! Manufactured by Eddy Current Controls (India) Ltd., this two-seater micro electric car was introduced during the International Electric Vehicle Expo in Delhi.
The Love Bird could cruise at 40 km/h and run around 60 km on a single charge - modest by today’s standards, but revolutionary back then.
So, Why Haven’t You Heard of It?
Despite its futuristic vision, Love Bird never really flew.
- 🔌 Lack of charging infrastructure
- ⚡ High cost of production
- 📉 No EV ecosystem to support it
These hurdles grounded what could have been India’s EV breakthrough story.
A Tribute to Early Innovation
This fact may have been lost in time, but it’s a reminder that India’s innovation wheels started turning decades ago. While Love Bird didn’t become a household name, it was a whisper of the electric future we live in today.
