Vayve Eva, India’s first solar electric car, will be unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. The innovative vehicle combines solar technology with electric mobility to provide an eco-friendly and efficient solution for urban transportation. Designed to address the need for sustainable commuting, the Eva utilises solar energy to extend its range and reduce dependency on conventional charging. Its introduction marks a significant step in India’s efforts to promote clean, green transportation alternatives. As a key highlight of the Bharat Mobility Expo, the Vayve Eva demonstrates the country’s progress in developing advanced mobility solutions to reduce carbon emissions and support sustainable development.
The Eva is a 2-door, 2-seater quadricycle engineered for efficient urban travel. The design emphasises aerodynamic performance. It features compact dimensions, measuring 3,060mm in length, 1,150mm in width, and 1,590mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,200mm. It also provides a ground clearance of 170mm, ensuring practicality for varied road conditions. A total of six paint jobs will be on offer: Champagne Gold, Moonstone White, Rose Coral, Cherry Red, Sky Blue, and Light Platinum.
The model is set to enter the Indian market shortly after its debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, scheduled to be held from January 17 to 22. The bookings are slated to open next month. Although the car does not face direct competition in the country, the MG Comet EV stands as its closest comparable offering.

A key innovation is the solar roof, which harnesses solar energy to contribute an extra 3,000 km of range annually, averaging around 10 km daily.
The cabin incorporates a range of modern features. These include climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a touchscreen infotainment unit, vehicle diagnostics, Andriod Auto and Apple CarPlay support, over-the-air (OTA) updates, a digital driver's display, an airbag, a six-way adjustable driver’s seat, a two-spoke steering wheel, and remote monitoring. The vehicle also sports a rear bench seat that can fit one adult and a child.
