5 common Mahindra e2o Plus faults — and how to fix each

1. e2o Plus range dropped below 50km

Step-by-step fix:

2. Mahindra's lithium upgrade kit (~₹1.5 lakh) doubles original range and uses modern cells.
3. Cheaper than buying a new EV if the rest of the car is sound.

3. Dashboard going blank intermittently

Step-by-step fix:

4. Brakes squealing

3. Don't ignore — fade is dangerous at low SoC.
