If you are hearing the name “born electric” for the first time, then here is a brief explanation. Born Electric vehicles sit on Mahindra’s dedicated skateboard INGLO EV platform that will underpin a range of upcoming SUVs under both the BE and XUV sub brands. This platform allows them to modify the width, length, wheelbase and overhangs to make various body styles on the same platform with minimal engineering efforts and small costs.
