Indians have a reputation for coming up with creative ways to repurpose everyday items, and the latest story comes from Rajasthan where a man used his electric vehicle to fry kachoris. Confused? Let’s explain.
In a video shared on X, the man is seen frying kachoris in a wok placed over an induction cooker, which was powered by the EV battery.
“Benefit of having an EV vehicle,” the caption on the post reads on X (formally Twitter). The inside text mentions, “Bro found next level use of EV cars.” The video, first shared on January 8, has led to discussions about creativity but also the potential dangers of utilising high-capacity batteries for cooking.
People on social media noted that the man used vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging in the most Indian manner conceivable. V2L charging is a technology that enables an electric vehicle (EV) to power other gadgets while it is off.

In addition, social media users were ecstatic by the man’s creative thinking, and the video demonstrated how Indian jugaad culture still evoked wonder and laughter.
A user commented, “That’s an innovative idea. Why to waste anything. Welcome to India.”
Another wrote, “Rajasthanis and their obsession with Kachori.”
“Jugaad? Nope. Next would be someone mimicking this bumpkin and the car goes up in flame,” said a person expressing disapproval.
Others suggested that the vehicle might have run out of fuel on the way back from his picnic area. “Imagine driving to a picnic spot, cook food, relax and worry about the car left with no charge left to head back home,” one comment read.
In North India, particularly in Rajasthan, kachori is a popular dish. The crunchy, deep-fried kachori is stuffed with a tasty concoction. The composition may differ depending on the state.
