Launched in 2013, the e2o was Mahindra’s replacement for the old Reva electric city car. The e2o was designed as a more practical replacement to the Reva, and aimed to develop the electric car market into a more mainstream rather than its then niche standing.
Now Mahindra has taken it up a step further with a larger and more practical iteration of the e2o, called the e2o Plus. The most notable change to the model is the increase in length and wheelbase, along with the inclusion of rear doors, a more practical boot and an improved range, courtesy a larger battery pack. The e2o Plus is essentially Mahindra coming to bat for another innings in the electric car market, but now with a car that is nearing regular hatchbacks in terms of practicality.
However, while the e2o Plus is still new in the market, Mahindra has seemingly pulled out its smaller sibling, the two-door e2o, from India with the company's website no longer listing the model as on sale. In recent months Mahindra has started exporting the two-door car to Europe. Now with the advent of the larger four-door e2o Plus, the automaker could have pulled the plug on the two-door car here and is offering only for export.
It is yet not known if the two-door e2o has reached the end of the line for India or if Mahindra has plans to update its smallest electric offering.
