Sunday Drive by Hormazd Sorabjee: Driving through the Gir Forest National Park

Driving the first EV in Gir provided the satisfaction of knowing it would not disturb wildlife nor pollute the pristine forest

It was only towards the end of two magical days that I realised we had created a bit of history. Okay, it wasn’t quite a moon landing. But it was an achievement nonetheless. An achievement that will perhaps only be truly appreciated half a century later when cars with internal combustion engines will only be seen in museums, and everything our children and grandchildren drive will be powered by electricity.

During the two days spent driving the Audi e-tron in Gir, lion sightings were aplenty

Being the first to drive an EV inside the Gir forest was the experience of a lifetime
