Cars offered with Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) are reshaping how Indian buyers approach electric mobility. Instead of purchasing the vehicle with its battery included, customers pay only for the car itself, which significantly lowers the upfront price. The battery is then rented separately, based on usage, turning ownership into a flexible subscription-style model. This approach reduces the financial burden by cutting lakhs off the sticker price and makes EVs more accessible to a wider audience. Here's a list of cars that you can buy with BaaS options.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara

Maruti Suzuki has entered the electric SUV space with the recently launched Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is available under the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, starting at Rs 10.99 lakh ex-showroom for the Delta variant featuring a 49 kWh battery. Users opting for the BaaS will find the battery rental set at Rs 3.99 per kilometer. For those interested in the higher-end Zeta and Alpha variants, which come with a bigger 61 kWh battery, the prices are Rs 11.99 lakh and Rs 14.29 lakh, respectively, with a battery rental fee of Rs 4.39 per kilometer.

MG Comet EV

MG revised the pricing of the Comet EV in July 2025 by increasing the Battery-as-a-Service subscription fee from Rs 2.90 per km to Rs 3.10 per km. With this change, the Comet EV now starts at Rs 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom) when purchased with the BaaS option. For buyers opting to own the battery outright, the starting price is set at Rs 7,49,800 (ex-showroom).
