At the Tata Harrier EV Quad Event, two of the most honest voices in India’s review community came together — Sunderdeep Singh, founder of the Volklub community, and Geeky Ranjit, one of India’s most respected tech reviewers. For Sunderdeep, this was more than a handshake — it was a fanboy moment he had been looking forward to.
What followed was a genuine and warm conversation between two creators who’ve built their reputations on truthful, experience-backed reviews — Sunderdeep in the ICE automotive space, and Ranjit Sir in tech and gadgets, with a growing interest in EVs.
During the conversation, Ranjit Sir shared that he owns a Tata Nexon EV Max — his personal entry into the electric mobility space. He expressed that EVs are clearly the future, especially since most of the latest technology is now being introduced in electric vehicles first. I believe he is talking about tech that ranges from software upgrades to intelligent features, EVs are where innovation is thriving.
He also mentioned that he owns a Mahindra XUV700 Petrol Automatic, which he bought on Sunderdeep’s recommendation specifically for long highway drives. This shows the mutual trust and respect both creators have for each other’s experience.
While discussing the practicality of EVs for highway use, Ranjit Sir said that on his regular drives, he usually does a 4-hour stretch of about 250 km before stopping for a 20–30 minute break. If an EV can recharge enough in that window, then it wouldn’t be a problem for such trips. This logical and user-centric view reflects how real-world habits are aligning with modern EV capabilities.
While not directly discussed in the video, it’s worth expanding on Ranjit Sir’s point with an industry observation: Charging Point Operators (CPOs) in India are beginning to strategically place chargers at highway rest stops, often near popular restaurants or dhabas.
This setup solves two key EV user pain points:
So, for people like Ranjit Sir — who typically drive for a few hours and then break — a 20–30 minute charging stop at a well-located station makes highway EV travel increasingly viable.
In a humble moment toward the end of the discussion, Ranjit Sir shared some advice (paraphrased):
“Creators should have patience and focus on building trust over time, instead of chasing quick fame.”
This resonates strongly. Platforms like ElecTree try to follow the same path — offering real-world, community-first content that’s not shaped by algorithms, but by the needs of the EV ecosystem. Just like Ranjit Sir and Sunderdeep, we believe in serving the audience before the analytics.
When honest voices meet, it reflects in the conversation. Whether it’s discussing the practicality of EVs, the need for strategic charging, or staying grounded as a creator, this conversation between Geeky Ranjit and Volklub was inspiring and insightful.
It’s not just about EVs. It’s about how authenticity, community, and long-term thinking can still thrive in the digital world — whether you’re buying a car or building content.
