Does the API support Electric Vehicles (EV) and CNG filters?

Yes. Dedicated endpoints are provided for 100% pure electric vehicles (/api/versions/ev), factory-fitted CNG cars (/api/versions/cng), and Hybrid models (/api/versions/hybrid).

How fast is the autocomplete search endpoint?

The model search and universal search endpoints query a compiled, in-memory indexed database with typical sub-100ms response times globally.

Can I query vehicle specifications by registration number?

Yes. The /api/rc endpoint retrieves complete OEM vehicle specifications, manufacturing date, engine details, transmission, and age by vehicle registration number.
