With increasing numbers of Indians adopting an electric vehicle, home EV charging is proving to be a necessity rather than a luxury. The number of publicly available charging points is still limited, and you cannot always afford to wait in line to charge your car. That is where the home car charging point appears. The year 2025 is not just about plugging your car into a socket but also about safety, speed, and smart technology. Okay, so you are preparing to upgrade or get an electric car charger installed at home; in that case, these are five accessories that you simply cannot do without.

Smart Home Charger: ChargePoint Home Flex

The ChargePoint Home Flex is one of the best home charging options available in the world. It is a Wi-Fi-enabled charger that lets you schedule your charging, track the amount of energy being consumed, and even set a charging reminder, all through your phone. It has flexible power options (up to 50 amps), which means that it can charge your electric vehicle (EV) overnight without any problem. It is slim, quick, and ready for the future, just as Indian homes need, where smart automation is gathering momentum. Be it that you drive a Tata or an MG or are waiting to get your hands on a Tesla India, this charger lets you have complete control over how you charge.

Weatherproof Charging Cables & Wall Mount Holders

The Indian climate is rather unpredictable, as there may be heavy monsoons in cities such as Mumbai or Kolkata. A waterproof charging cable is essential because of that. Seek one with an industrial standard of insulation and toughness. Combine it with a cable wall mount or holder to eliminate inconvenient tangles, possible falls, or wire destruction. Such an accessory is not only a protection for your charger but also makes your home garage look professional and tidy.

WiFi-Enabled Charger Controllers

Obtain a WiFi charger controller. Using mobile apps, these devices allow you to switch the charger on/off, monitor power consumption, and program charging. This technology is really useful when you need to charge your EV at off-peak times to get lower electricity prices. As the idea of smart home integration gains popularity in India, this provides additional comfort to your everyday life.

Portable EV Charger for Emergencies

The must-have emergency tool that every electric car owner needs to have is a portable EV charger. It will be able to assist you in charging your car using any 15A socket, should your primary charger break down or when you are away traveling. They are portable, light, and fit in most of the Indian EVs. This can be a lifesaver in case you are going on a road trip or reside in a semi-urban locality.

Conclusion

The transition to EVs is thrilling, and constructing a home EV charging system in 2025 is all about being clever and ready. Backed by necessities, such as the ChargePoint Home Flex, weather-resistant cables, surge protectors, intelligent controllers, and a portable backup, your home charging point will be effective, secure, and ready for the future. Your garage can be on the forefront as India dashes towards clean energy.

It will break cover on July 5 and is likely to go on sale on the same day

  • Invicto will be the top of the automaker’s MPV line-up. 
  • There will be some changes to the design, including 3-piece LED lighting and a new grille. 
  • Maruti may offer a new themed interior compared to the Toyota MPV’s tawny design. 
  • Features on board will include a panoramic sunroof, a 10-inch touchscreen and ADAS.
  • It gets the same petrol and hybrid petrol powertrains as the Innova Hycross. 
  • Maruti could price the Invicto from Rs 19 lakh (ex-showroom).

The MPV derived from the Toyota Innova Highcross has been officially named ‘Invict’ after recent rumours about the name ‘Maruti Engage’. It is said to be the automaker’s latest flagship. The new Maruti Invicto MPV will debut on July 5th and is expected to hit the market on the same day. 

What would it look like?

The Maruti Invicto is nearly identical to the Toyota Innova Hycross, but recently released spy shots show some brand-specific changes to distinguish the two. These include 3-piece LED headlights and taillights and a new grille design with two chrome strips connecting the headlights. There is a high possibility that new aluminium wheels will also be installed. 

The interior dashboard layout is similar to the Toyota MPV, but may have a new cabin theme. 

Equipment installed in Maruti MPV

Invict is supposed to get the same equipment list as Toyota. This includes premium features such as a 10-inch touchscreen device, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, digital driver display and power tailgate. 

Occupant safety is ensured by up to six airbags, vehicle stability control (VSC) and front and rear parking sensors, making it the first Maruti to offer Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

A Choice Of Two Petrol Powertrains

The Maruti replacement for the Toyota Innova Highcross will have the same powertrain options. The MPV comes standard with a 2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (174 hp / 205 Nm) and his CVT automatic transmission. No manual option. The Toyota MPV also features a powerful hybrid powertrain using a 186 hp (combined) 2-litre petrol engine and an electric motor. Combined with the E-CVT, it delivers an efficiency of over 21 km/h. 

How much will it cost? 

We expect the automaker to price the Invict at Rs 1.9 lakh (excluding showrooms). The only direct rival is the Toyota Innova Highcross, which puts it between Kia Carens and Carnival.

Since its launch in January 2023, Thar RWD has enjoyed great success in India. The Mahindra Thar RWD is more affordable, making it a top choice for buyers who want the rugged appeal of a Thar without the luxury of a four-wheel drive. The popularity of thar RWD is evidenced by the current wait time of up to 17 months. 

For the diesel version of the Mahindrathal RWD, which has a 1.5-litre diesel engine and a 6-speed manual gearbox, the waiting period is 17 months. In contrast, the petrol version of the Thar RWD has a much shorter wait time of just one month. This indicates that the diesel version is in high demand, despite the petrol version being more powerful but less efficient. 

Available in two variants, the Thar RWD Diesel features a smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine as opposed to the larger and more powerful 2.2-litre diesel engine of the Thar 4WD diesel. The Thar 4WD’s 2.2-litre diesel engine produces 130 horsepower, while the Taal RWD’s smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine produces a maximum output of 118 horsepower. Surprisingly, both diesel engines have the same maximum torque of 300Nm. 

Thar 4X2 launched to reach more customers

Unlike the Thar 4WD Diesel, which offers both a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Thar RWD Diesel is only available with a 6-speed manual transmission. Meanwhile, the Thar RWD petrol engine shares a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder medallion turbocharged petrol engine with the Thar 4WD petrol engine, delivering the same power and torque of 150 hp and 300 Nm respectively. The Thar 4WD Petrol is only available with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the Thar 4WD Petrol is available with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Of course, the Mahindra Thar RWD lacks some of the off-road capabilities of the Thar 4WD with its all-wheel-drive system and its manually operated 4×4 transfer case. However, the Thar RWD is equipped with a manual limited-slip differential, which, while not as smooth as the 4WD version, still has good traction over rough terrain. The 4WD version of the Thar will be offered in both hardtop and convertible body styles, while the RWD version will be limited to the hardtop body version. 

Maruti Suzuki Jimny is launching soon

Maruti Suzuki will soon launch the new Jimny in the Indian market. The new all-terrain vehicle is set to go on sale next month and should take most of the sales away from Thar. The Maruti Suzuki Jimny will likely have a long wait, but will likely remain significantly cheaper than the Thar.

Reckless driving on public roads is always a nuisance to society. When such driving leads to a fatal accident, the consequences can be disastrous, especially for an expensive car like the Porsche 911. Unfortunately, such an accident occurred in the early morning of May 11, when a high-speed Porsche 911 crashed into a tree and burst into flames. 

The incident happened around 4 am on a golf course road in Gurgaon where a red Porsche 911 S Turbo worth around Rs 4 Crore burned to ashes following a high-speed crash. Witnesses claim the driver of the Porsche 911 was drunk at the time of the accident and was driving uncontrollably. 

Completely Damaged Porsche after the accident

The driver, under the influence of alcohol, lost control and crashed into a guardrail on the golf course road. The car then crashed into a tree next to the service lane. The severity of the crash completely destroyed the Porsche 911, and the sparks that followed the accident reduced the sports car to ashes.

The noise and intensity of the fire prompted many witnesses to call the fire department. Firefighters arrived at the accident scene, but the car was charred beyond repair and could not be rescued. The violent impact blew away parts of the car, many of which fell far from the crash site. 

Porsche scene of the accident

At the time of the accident, there were two men in the Porsche 911, both of whom were under the influence of alcohol. Both men escaped from the burning car and fled the scene of the accident.

A license plate number on a car found at the crash site revealed that the car was registered in Chandigarh and was heading to Sikandarpur before the accident. The whereabouts of the two men are unknown, but Gurugram police are investigating based on the car’s license plate number.

Car fires can have many causes. The cause of this Porsche fire is unknown, but a high-speed accident could have caused a leak in a fuel line, leading to a large fire. The exact cause of the accident is not yet known as the police are still investigating the accident. But in many high-profile cases involving luxury cars, the details are rarely revealed.
