Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more affordable, and 2025 brings two exciting budget friendly options the Tata Punch EV and the BYD Seagull. Both cars promise impressive features at competitive prices, making them ideal for first-time EV buyers.

In this blog, we’ll compare these two EVs on price, range, features, and performance to help you decide which one suits your needs.

 

Price Comparison

• Tata Punch EV: Expected to start around ₹10-12 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Seagull has a better range, but Tata’s battery tech is proven in Indian conditions.

 

The Punch EV may feel peppier, but the Seagull charges faster.

 

The Seagull offers more tech, but Tata’s infotainment is well-optimized.
